Initial Operation; Assembly Of The Additional Handle; Battery Pack - Metabo KHA 36 LTX Notice D'utilisation

If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
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).
Reduce dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool
may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-
based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard
wood like oak or beech, metals, asbestos.
The risk from these exposures depends on how
long you or bystanders are being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see
chapter 9.), thus less 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 at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush

6. Initial Operation

6.1

Assembly of the additional handle

For safety reasons, always use the additional
handle supplied.
Open the clamping ring by turning the additional
handle (7) anticlockwise. Push the additional
handle onto the collar of the machine. Insert the
depth stop (8). Securely tighten the additional
handle at the angle required for the application.
6.2 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (17) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.
Li-Ion battery packs "Li-Power, LiHD" have a
capacity and signal indicator (16):
- Press the button (15); the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
KHA 36-18 LTX 32:
- Use always two Metabo 18-Volt slide-on battery
packs.
- Recommended capacity 3.0 Ah and greater.
- We recommend the use of battery packs with
identical item number.
- The use of battery packs with different capacity
(Ah) is permitted. In this case, the battery pack
with the smaller capacity (Ah) determines the
userful life.
6.3 Removing and inserting the battery pack
See illustration Eon page 3.
Removing:
Press the battery pack release (14) button and
remove the battery pack (17).
Inserting:
