1. Safety precautions
1.1 Basic safety instructions
In addition to the safety precautions listed in the individual sections of these operating instructions, the
following points must be strictly observed at all times.
1.2 Only use Hilti cartridges or cartridges of equivalent quality
The use of cartridges of inferior quality in Hilti tools may
lead to build-up of unburned powder, which may explode and cause severe injuries to operators and bystanders. At a minimum, cartridges must either:
a) Be confirmed by their supplier to have been suc-
cessfully tested in accordance with EU standard EN
16264
NOTE:
● All Hilti cartridges for powder-actuated tools have
been tested successfully in accordance with EN 16264.
● The tests defined in the EN 16264 standard are system
tests carried out by the certification authority using
specific combinations of cartridges and tools.
The tool designation, the name of the certification authority and the system test number are printed on the
cartridge packaging.
or
b) Carry the CE conformity mark (mandatory in the EU
as of July 2013).
See packaging sample at:

3. Description
The tool is designed for professional use in fastening
applications where nails, threaded studs and compo site
fasteners are driven into concrete, steel and sand-lime
block masonry.
The tool works on the well-proven piston principle and
is therefore not related to high-velocity tools. The piston principle provides an optimum of working and fastening safety. The tool works with cartridges of 6.8/11
caliber.
The piston is returned to the starting position and the
cartridges are fed to the firing chamber automatically
by gas pressure from the fired cartridge. This permits
fastenings to be made very quickly and economically
with nails and threaded studs.
As with all powder-actuated tools, the tool, fastener program and cartridge program form a “technical unit”.
This means that optimal fastening with this system can
only be assured if the fasteners and cartridges are
specially manufactured for it, or products of equivalent
quality, are used. The fastening and application recommendations given by Hilti are only applicable if these
conditions are observed.
The tool features 5-way safety – for the safety of the
operator and bystanders.
The piston principle
The energy from the propellant charge is transferred to
a piston, the accelerated mass of which drives the fastener
into the base material. As approximately 95 % of the
kinetic energy is absorbed by the piston, the fastener is
driven into the base material at much reduced velocity
(less than 100 m/sec.) in a controlled manner. The driving process ends when the piston reaches the end of
its travel. This makes dangerous through-shots virtually impossible when the tool is used correctly.
The drop-firing safety device is the result of coupling
the firing mechanism with the cocking movement. This
prevents the Hilti DX tool from firing when it is dropped
onto a hard surface, no matter at which angle the impact
occurs.
The trigger safety device ensures that the cartridge
cannot be fired simply by pulling the trigger only. The
tool can be fired only when pressed against the work
surface.
The contact pressure safety device requires the tool
to be pressed against the work surface with a signifi-

cant force. The tool can be fired only when pressed fully against the work surface in this way.
In addition, all Hilti DX tools are equipped with an unintentional firing safety device . This prevents the tool
from firing if the trigger is pulled and the tool then pressed
against the work surface. The tool can be fired only when
it is first pressed (1.) against the work surface correctly and the trigger then pulled (2.).

8. Care and maintenance
When this type of tool is used under normal operating
conditions, dirt and residues build up inside the tool
and functionally relevant parts are also subject to wear.
Regular inspections and maintenance are thus essential in order to ensure reliable operation. We recommend that the tool is cleaned and the piston and piston
brake are checked at least weekly when the tool is subjected to intensive use, and at the latest after driving
10,000 fasteners.
8.1 Care of the tool
The outer casing of the tool is manufactured from impactresistant plastic. The grip comprises a synthetic rubber
section.
The ventilation slots must be unobstructed and kept
clean at all times. Do not permit foreign objects to enter
the interior of the tool. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean
the outside of the tool at regular intervals. Do not use a
spray or steam-cleaning system for cleaning.
8.2 Maintenance
Check all external parts of the tool for damage at regular intervals and check that all controls operate properly. Do not operate the tool when parts are damaged or
when the controls do not operate properly. If necessary,
have the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre.
Servicing the tool
The tool should be serviced if:
1. Cartridges misfire
2. Fastener driving power is inconsistent
3. If you notice that:
● contact pressure increases,
● trigger force increases,
● power regulation is difficult to adjust (stiff),
● the cartridge strip is difficult to remove.
CAUTION while cleaning the tool:
● Never use grease for maintenance/ lubrication of tool
parts. This may strongly affect the functionality of the
tool. Use only Hilti spray or such of equivalent quality.
● Dirt from DX tool contains substances that could be
endangering your health.
