The correct setting depends on the task in hand.
Example: set the switch to "reduced impact force"
when working on soft, brittle material or trying to
minimise break-off.
Set the switch to "high impact force" when working
on harder materials.
7.6
Switching On and Off
Instantaneous activation:
To start the machine, press the trigger switch (12).
Release the trigger (12) to switch off.
Continuous operation:
For continuous operation, the trigger switch (12)
can be locked using the lock button (11).
Press and release the trigger (12) again to switch
off.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine
with both hands using the handles provided,
stand in a safe position and concentrate.
7.7
Metabo VibraTech (MVT)
For reduced vibrations and less stress on the
hands.
Always apply a moderate amount of pressure to the
handle when pushing down the machine and do not
force. Vibrations are reduced most effectively at the
central position (10).
8. Cleaning, Maintenance
Motor cleaning: blow out the machine thoroughly at
regular intervals through the air slots with
compressed air.
9. Tips and Tricks
Only moderate pressure is required when working
with the machine. Applying excessive pressure
does not increase your working performance and
may decrease the service life of your machine.
KHE 56: in the case of deep bores, pull the drill bit
out of the bore from time to time in order to remove
dust.
10. Troubleshooting
Carbon brush service indicator (13) lights up:
the carbon brushes are almost completely worn
(remaining operating time approx. 30 hours). If the
brushes are completely worn, the machine switches
off automatically. Have an authorised service centre
replace the brushes.
Electromagnetic disturbances:
In individual cases, the speed may fluctuate
temporarily if the machine is exposed to extreme
external electromagnetic disturbances.
11. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
See page 4.

12. Repairs
Repairs to electrical tools must be carried out by
qualified electricians ONLY!
Contact your local Metabo representative if you
have Metabo power tools requiring repairs. For
addresses see www.metabo.com.

13. Environmental Protection
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! In
accordance with European Directive 2002/
96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment
and its implementation in national legal systems,
used power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling.
