Metabo S-automatic safety clutch.
When the safety clutch responds, switch off the
machine immediately!
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut. Not required for
drills with VTC electronics (restart protection).
Do not touch the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws
into hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or a high reverse torque may build up on the
handle.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.

6 Special Product Features
Exchangeable chuck
With a simple operation and without the need for
extra tools the SDS chuck is exchanged against
the keyless chuck.
Single-knob control
Gears and operating modes (drilling, hammer
drilling, chiselling) are selected at actuating one
single control knob.
Rotary stop:
By turning the rotation off chiselling can be done.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch:
If the insertion tool jams or hooks, the power flow
to the engine will be restricted. Because of the high
power which then arises, always hold the machine
with both hands on the handles, stand safely, and
concentrate on your work.
Cut-out brushes, with wearing indication on
machines with VTC electronics (UHE 26 Multi,
UHE 28 Multi):
A LED warns before the carbon brushes are
completely worn. If the brushes are worn
completely the machine switches off
automatically.
Restart protection and overload protection
indicator on machines with VTC electronics
(UHE 26 Multi, UHE 28 Multi)
The restart protection prevents the machine from
being unintentionally started when it is plugged in
again or when power is restored after a power
failure.
The overload protection indicator warns of an
impending overload.
7 Start of Operation
Before plugging in check to see that the
rated mains voltage and mains frequency,
as stated on the rating label, match with your
power supply.
