5.6 Information on emissions
5.6.1 Dust
CAUTION
Grinding may produce hazardous dust.
● Before starting work, find out to which dangerous
material class the grinding dust produced belongs. Use
the tool in conjunction with an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved safety classification and
which complies with the local dust protection regulations.
● When grinding, the industrial vacuum cleaner used
must be equipped with a filter suitable for the application.
● Conductive dust may collect inside the tool when
grinding conductive materials. This may have a negative effect on the insulation of the tool and cause electric shocks. As a result, tools used for this application
must be checked by a technical specialist or Hilti
service department at least every six months to ensure
integrity of the insulation and to check for possible accumulation of conductive dust or other conductive substances.
5.7 General hazards presented by the tool
● Operate the tool only as directed and only when it is
in faultless condition.
● Unplug the supply cord when the tool is not in use
(e.g. during pauses between work), before cleaning or
maintenance and when changing cup wheels.
●Never leave the tool unsupervised.
●When not in use, the tool must be stored in a dry place,
locked up or out of reach of children.
●Operate the tool only together with its respective safety equipment.
●Do not overload the tool. The tool operates more efficiently and more safely within its given performance
range.
●Do not use the tool for purposes for which it was not
intended (e.g. attaching drill bits or similar, fitting saw
blades for cutting wood, etc.).
●Avoid unintentional starting. Do not keep your finger
on the on / off switch while carrying the tool when connected to the mains supply.
●Check the condition of the cup wheel before it is used.
●Use only the original accessories or items of additional
equipment listed in the operating instructions. The use
of other cup wheels or accessories may present a risk of
injury.
●Follow the instructions given by Hilti when fitting and
using cup wheels.
●T est new cup wheels by allowing them to run at maximum speed for at least 30 seconds before use.
● Damaged cup wheels of cup wheels that run out of
round (vibration) must not be used.
●Do not subject cup wheels to impacts and keep them
free from grease.
● -CAUTION- The tool continues to run for approx. 2
seconds after switching off.
● Do not attempt to brake the rotating cup wheel by
applying lateral pressure.
5.7.1 Mechanical hazards
●Do not leave wrenches etc. attached to the tool. Before
switching on, check that wrenches and adjusting tools
have been removed.
●Check whether parts have suffered damage and that
all moving parts function faultlessly without sticking. All
parts must be fitted correctly and fulfil all of the conditions necessary to ensure faultless operation of the tool.
●Use only original Hilti cup wheels.
●The mounting hole in the cup wheel must fit the cen-
tring collar of the clamping flange without play . Do not
use reducers or adaptors. Before switching on, check
that the cup wheel is fitted correctly and free to rotate.
●Always switch off the tool and unplug the supply cord
before fitting or removing the cup wheel.
● Observe the direction of rotation arrow when fitting
the cup wheel.
5.7.2 Electrical hazards
●Protect yourself from electric shocks. Avoid body contact with earthed objects, e.g. pipes and radiators.
● Check the condition of the tool including the supply
cord and extension cord as well as the plug connections.
Do not operate the tool if damage is found, if the tool is
not complete or if its controls cannot be operated faultlessly.
●Never carry the tool by the supply cord.
●Grip the plug and not the cable when pulling it out of
the socket.
● Do not expose the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp
edges.
●Do not touch the supply cord in the event of it becoming damaged while working. Disconnect the supply cord
plug from the socket.
●Disconnect the supply cord plug from the socket when
the tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing cup wheels and before adjusting the position of the
guard or side handle.
● When working outdoors, use only extension cords
that are approved and correspondingly marked for this
application.
● Check the tool for any damage. All parts of the tool
must be checked carefully to ensure correct, faultless
functionality before further use.
●Damaged switches must be replaced at a Hilti service
centre. Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched off
and on properly.
