2. Description
2.1 Use of the product as directed
The DCH 300 is an electrically powered diamond cutter for professional use in the construction industry.
It is designed for cutting mineral materials with diamond discs without use of water.
A vacuum cleaner with the appropriate filter, e.g. Hilti VCD 50 vacuum cleaner, must be used when cutting
mineral materials.
In order to avoid electrostatic effects, a vacuum cleaner equipped with an antistatic hose should be used.
Use only diamond cutting discs with a maximum permissible peripheral speed of at least 80 m/sec (16000
ft/min).
The power tool is to be used exclusively in pushing mode (counter rotation).
The use of liquids, e.g. to cool the disc or suppress dust, is not permissible.
Do not use the power tool for cutting with cutting tools of a type not specified in these operating instructions
(e.g. circular saw blades) or for grinding.
When equipped with synthetic resin‐bonded fiber‐reinforced abrasive cutting discs, the power tool can also
be used for cutting metals. When doing so, use only synthetic resin‐bonded fiber‐reinforced abrasive cutting
discs with a maximum permissible peripheral speed of at least 80 m/sec (16000 ft/min).
2
The working environment may be as follows: construction site, workshop, renovation, conversion or new
construction.
To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and cutting tools.
Observe the safety rules and operating instructions for the accessories used.
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
The machine is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained,
authorized personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The
machine and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or
when used not as directed.
The machine may be used only in a dry environment.
The machine may be operated only when connected to a power supply providing a voltage and frequency in
compliance with the information given on its type identification plate.
Do not use the machine where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
Working on materials hazardous to the health (e.g. asbestos) is not permissible.
Modification of the machine or tampering with its parts is not permissible.
2.2 Switches
On/off switch with switch‐on interlock
2.3 Starting current limitation
The starting current drawn by the power tool is several times higher than its rated current. The electronic
starting current limiter reduces the starting current drawn by the power tool and thus prevents the mains fuse
blowing. It also allows the power tool to start smoothly, without a jolt.
2.4 Restart interlock
The power tool does not restart by itself after an interruption in the electric supply. The switch must first be
released and then pressed again after approx. 1 second.
en
2.5 TPS theft protection system (optional)
The power tool may be optionally equipped with the TPS theft protection system. If equipped with this feature,
the power tool can be unlocked and made ready for operation only through use of the corresponding TPS key.
2.6 LED indicators
Service indicator LED (see section “Care and maintenance”)
Theft protection system indicator (optional) (see section “Operation”)
2.7 Guard (hood) with guide wheels
Cutting and slitting work on stone may be carried out only when the power tool is equipped with a dust hood
with wheels.
2.8 Electronic overload protection
The electronic overload protection system monitors current input and thus protects the power tool from
overload.
If the motor is overloaded through application of excessive working pressure, the power tool’s performance
drops noticeably or it may come to a complete standstill. A standstill should be avoided.
Permissible overload cannot be given as a specific value as it depends on the temperature of the motor.
If the power tool has been overloaded, release the pressure applied and then allow it to run under no load for
approx. 30 seconds.
