Perforator Metabo KHEV 5-40 BL

The Metabo KHEV 5-40 BL is a powerful SDS-max combination hammer with a brushless motor designed for hammer drilling and chiselling in concrete and stone. With an input power of 1150 W, a speed range of 350–500 rpm and a maximum drilling diameter of 40 mm in concrete, it combines motor power and an effective impact mechanism to deliver high impact energy for demanding applications. The tool weighs 8.3 kg and features Metabo safety and vibration-reduction measures to support extended use.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides a longer service life and consistent drilling and chiselling performance while reducing maintenance needs. The hammer delivers high single-impact energy for efficient material removal, and integrated safety functions such as soft start and an S-automatic safety clutch reduce kickback by mechanically decoupling the drive if the bit jams. The design also incorporates an anti-vibration system to lower user exposure to vibration during prolonged work.

Suitable for

• Hammer drilling in reinforced concrete and masonry
• Chiselling and light demolition work in stone and concrete
• Alternating drilling and chiselling tasks on construction sites

How to use

Select an appropriate SDS-max drill bit or chisel for the material and task, secure it in the SDS-max retainer according to the tool instructions, and set the hammer to the required mode (rotation with impact for drilling or chisel mode for chiselling). Start work with light pressure to establish the hole or initial removal, then increase pressure as appropriate while maintaining control. Use the soft start feature to avoid sudden torque reactions and stop immediately if the bit binds; the S-automatic safety clutch will reduce kickback by decoupling the drive.

Recommendations

Use Metabo SDS-max drill bits and chisels matched to the hammer for optimal drilling progress and material removal. For lower-dust drilling, consider SDS-max dust-extraction drill bits or the ESA max extraction set. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, follow safety instructions, and use anti-vibration measures to reduce operator fatigue.
