Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
-do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
-use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
-ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
-Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.
Transport of li-ion battery packs:
The shipping of li-ion battery pack is subject to laws
related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN
3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently
valid specifications when shipping li-ion battery
packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder.
Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact
and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack
from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts
from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with
adhesive tape).

Remove battery pack from the machine before
carrying out any setting, retrofitting,
maintenance or cleaning. Ensure that the machine
is switched off when the battery pack is switched
off.
6.1The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode. A warning signal sounds
(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger switch
(4) is released.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note:
the machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
6.2Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (7) before use. Charge the
battery pack again if the performance drops.
Instructions on charging the battery pack can be
found in the operating instructions of the Metabo
charger.
Li-Ion battery packs “Li-Power, LiHD“ have a
capacity and signal indicator (9):
-Press the button (8), the LEDs indicate the charge
level.
-The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing:
Press the battery pack release button (11) and pull
the battery pack (7) forwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (7) until it engages.
6.3Setting the direction of rotation,
engaging the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
Only operate the rotation selector switch /
transporting safety device (3) when the motor
is at standstill!
Actuate the rotation selector switch / Engage the
transportation lock (3).

6.4Switching on and off
Switching on: press the trigger switch (4).
Switching off: Release the trigger (4).

6.5Speed / tightening torque
The speed and tightening torque are connected
directly. The lower the speed, the lower the
tightening torque.
The tightening torque is influenced in the following
ways:
1) Preselect maximum
tightening torque
(ONLY for PowerMax SSD 12 BL)
You can select between 2 speed/ tightening torque
settings by pressing the button (6). The maximum
tightening torques can be found in the table on page
3 (M
max
).
Button (6) lights up to indicate which setting is
selected.
no lighting = max. speed / max. tightening torque
permanent lighting = low speed / low tightening
torque
2) Stepless adjustment of the tightening torque
(for PowerMax SSD 12 and PowerMax SSD 12 BL)
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted
steplessly by pressing the trigger (4) firmly or lightly,
thus adapting to working conditions.
Recommendation: determine the correct setting
by carrying out trial screwdriving.
6.6Changing the screwdriving bit
Inserting screwdriving bit: Slide locking sleeve
(2) forward and insert screwdriving bit as far as the
stop. Release locking sleeve (2) .
Pull on the screwdriver bit to check that it is
correctly seated.
Removing screwdriving bit: Slide locking sleeve
(2) forward and remove screwdriving bit.
Only use screwdriving bits with such plug-in
ends:
The screwdriving bit used must match the
screw.
Damaged screwdriving bits must not be used.
Mount the machine on the screw, ensuring it is
aligned straight.
The screwdriving process consists of 2 parts: insert
screw and
tighten screw with the impact mechanism.
The tightening torque depends on the impact
duration.
With an impact duration of approx. 5 seconds, the
maximum tightening torque has been reached.
The torque curve depends on the type of
application:
With a hard screwdriving application (screw-
couplings in hard material such as metal), maximum
tightening torque is already reached after a short
impact duration (a).
With a soft screwdriving application (screw-
couplings in soft material such as wood), a longer
impact duration (b) is required.
Recommendation: determine the correct impact
duration by carrying out trial screwdriving.
Caution! For small screws the maximum torque
can be reached already after
0.5 seconds impact duration.
-This is why the duration of the screwdriving
process must be monitored exactly.
-For PowerMax SSD 12 BL: Use button (6) to set a
suitable level (see chapter 6.5).
-Adjust the tightening torque by pressing firmly or
lightly on the trigger (4), ensuring that the screw is
not damaged or that the screw head does not tear
off.
Use only original Metabo or CAS (Cordless Alliance
System) battery packs and accessories.
Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
