The chargers are only suitable for charging Metabo
battery packs.

This tool is not designed for use by persons
(including children) with physical, sensory or
mental disabilities, or with insufficient experience
and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by
a person responsible for their safety, or have

person.
The LC 60 is suitable for charging Li-ion battery

packs (7.2 V, 1.1 Ah - 2.3 Ah, 2 cells).

Never attempt to charge batteries that are

increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.

entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply.

RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better

moving parts.

g)

If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.

Use of dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards

4) Power tool use and care

a)

Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b)

Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

c)

Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools.

Such preventive safety mea ures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d)

Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-

of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired

poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

f)

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g)

Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc­tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

b)

Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-

able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.

c)

Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.

d)

When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper­clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.

2. Before using battery charger, read all instruc­tions and cautionary markings on battery charger,
battery, and product using battery.

3. CAUTION

Metabo rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and
damage.

Correct use: chargers 6.27308 (LC 60) are to be
used exclusively for charging Metabo 7.2 V battery
packs with the max. capacity of 1.1 Ah - 2.2 Ah.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use. The generally recog­nized accident prevention regulations and the
safety instructions which accompany them must
be adhered to.

Repairs to electrical tools must be carried out by a
qualified electrician ONLY. Any Metabo electrical

Never use faulty or deformed battery packs!

Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
Remove the battery pack from the machine before

any adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the

machine is switched off.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the

machine at standstill.
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 conjunc­tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro­mate, 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.

ENGLISH

When working with long screw bits or bit holders,
we recommend the use of the bit clamping bush

6.31281 (see Accessories chapter).

Drilling

Preferably in 2nd gear (high speed).

Screws

Preferably in 1st gear (low speed) and with torque
control.

Screws in areas that are hard to access

The angle screwdriver attachment (see Accesso­ries chapter) makes work at difficult-to-access
areas particularly easy.

Thread tapping

Lubricate thread drills.
Select 1st gear (low speed).
Adjust torque control.

11 Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your

dealer.
For dealers to select the correct accessory, they

need to know the exact model designation of your
power tool.

See page 4.

A Quick-clamping chuck.

Fitting:

unscrew protective cap (1).
(To remove a tight protective cap, insert a
metal pin (diameter 4 mm) in the protective
