2 Safety
2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow the instructions below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
▶ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.
▶ Do not operate the power tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
▶ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
▶ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching power outlets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an 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. Damaged or 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. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
▶ 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. A
moment of inattention while operating the power tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a
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 control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.

▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
▶ 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ 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.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2 Diamond drill safety warnings
▶ When performing drilling that requires the use of water, route the water away from the operator’s
work area or use a liquid collection device. Such precautionary measures keep the operator’s work
area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
▶ Operate power tool by insulated grasping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
▶ Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming.
▶ When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece check that the bit rotates freely before starting. If
the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause the diamond drill to release from
the workpiece.
▶ When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasteners to the workpiece, ensure that the
anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine during use. If the workpiece is
weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to release from the workpiece.
▶ When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to protect persons and the work area on the other
side. The bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the other side.
▶ Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with water supply. Water entering the power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
2.3 Additional safety precautions
Personal safety
▶ Do not tamper with or attempt to make alterations to the device.
▶ The power tool is not intendedfor use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
▶ Keep the power tool out of reach of children.

Printed: 02.11.2017 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5145267 / 000 / 04
▶ Do not touch rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after it is in position at the workpiece.
Touching rotating parts, especially rotating accessory tools, can result in injury.
▶ Avoid skin contact with drilling slurry.
▶ Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone
containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust such as oakwood and beechwood dust are classified as carcinogenic, especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Only specialists are
permitted to handle material containing asbestos. Use as effective a dust removal system as possible.
To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum extractor of the type recommended
by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust and which is designed for use with this power tool. Ensure
that the workplace is well ventilated. It is advisable to wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust
generated. Comply with national regulations applicable to the materials you will be working with.
▶ The diamond core drilling machine and the diamond core bit are heavy. There is a risk of crushing parts
of the body. The user and persons in the vicinity must wear suitable protective goggles, a hard hat,
ear defenders, protective gloves and protective footwear while the tool is in use.
Power tool use and care
▶ Make sure that the device is correctly secured to the drill stand.
▶ Always make sure that an end stop is installed on the drill stand as otherwise the safety-relevant
end-stop function is not implemented.
▶ Check that accessory tools are compatible with the power tool’s chuck/drive system and that they
are installed and secured correctly.
Electrical safety
▶ Do not use extension cords with multiple power outlets powering two or more devices in operation
at the same time.
▶ Operate the device only when it is connected to an adequately rated power supply with a ground
conductor.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts on the power tool
can become live, for example if you inadvertently damage electric wiring. This presents a serious risk of
electric shock.
▶ Make sure that the supply cord cannot be damaged as the carriage advances.
▶ Never operate the machine without the accompanying PRCD (machines without PRCD: Never
operate the machine without an isolating transformer). Test the PRCD each time before use.
▶ Check the machine’s supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist if
found to be damaged. If the machine’s supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with a specially
prepared and approved supply cord available from Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or
extension cord if it is damaged while you are working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the
power outlet. Damaged supply cords and extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
▶ Never operate the machine when it is dirty or wet. Dust, especially dust from conductive materials, or
dampness on the surface of the power tool can, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock.
Have dirtied or dusty machines checked at regular intervals by Hilti Service, especially if they are used
frequently for working on conductive materials.
Workplace
▶ Approval must be obtained from the site engineer or site management before beginning work.
Drilling work on buildings and other structures can influence the statics, especially when steel reinforcing
bars and load-bearing components are cut through.
▶ If the drill stand has not been secured correctly, always move the machine on the drill stand all the
way down to keep the stand from toppling.
▶ Keep the supply cord, extension cord, water hose and vacuum hose away from rotating parts.
▶ Use of the water collection system in combination with a wet-type industrial vacuum extractor is
mandatory for upward wet drilling.
▶ Use of the vacuum fastening method for upward drilling without additional means of securing the
equipment is prohibited.
▶ An additional means of securing the drill stand must be employed when the machine is used for
horizontal drilling with the vacuum securing method (accessory).
