1. Safety rules

1.1 Basic safety instructions

In addition to the safety rules 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.

b) Carry the CE conformity mark (mandatory in the EU

as of July 2013).

1.3 Use as intended

The tool is designed for professional use in fastening applications in construction where nails, threaded studs and composite fasteners are driven into concrete, steel and sand-lime block masonry.

1.4 Improper use

● Manipulation or modification of the tool is not per-

missible.

● Do not operate the tool in an explosive or flammable

atmosphere, unless the tool is specially approved for such use.

● To avoid the risk of injury, use only original Hilti fas-

teners, cartridges, accessories and spare parts or those of equivalent quality.

● Observe the information printed in the operating

● Never point the tool at yourself or any bystander.

● Never press the muzzle of the tool against your hand

or other part of your body.

● Do not drive nails into excessively hard or brittle materials such as glass, marble, plastic, bronze, brass, copper, natural rock, insulation material, hollow brick, glazed tile, thin-gauge sheet metal (< 4 mm), grey cast iron, spheroidal cast iron and gas concrete.

1.5 Technology

● This tool is designed with the latest available technology.

● The tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or not as directed.

1.6 Make the workplace safe

● Ensure that the workplace ist well lit.

● Objects which could cause injury should be removed

from the working area.

● Operate the tool only in well-ventilated working areas.

● The tool is for hand-held use only.

● Avoid unfavorable body positions. Work from a secure

stance and stay in balance at all times

● Keep other persons, children in particular, outside the working area.

● Before using the tool, make sure that no one is standing behind or below the point where fasteners are to be driven.

● Keep the grip dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

1.7 General safety precautions

● Operate the tool only as directed and only when it is in faultless condition.

● Use the splinter guard when the application permits.

● If a cartridge misfires or fails to ignite, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Keep the tool pressed against the working surface for 30 seconds.

2. If the cartridge still fails to fire, withdraw the tool from the working surface, taking care that it is not pointed towards your body or bystanders.

3. Manually advance the cartridge strip one cartridge. Use up the remaining cartridges on the strip. Remove the used cartridge strip and dispose of it in such a way that it can be neither reused nor misused.

● If 2–3 cartridge misfires occur in succession (with-

out clearly audible noise of the cartridge firing and the fastener being driven with significantly less power), proceed as follows:

1. Stop using the tool immediately.

2. Unload and disassemble the tool (see 8.3).

3. Check that the correct combination of fastener guide, piston and fastener are used (see 6.2).

4. Check the buffer, piston and fastener guide for wear and replace the parts if necessary (See 6.3 and 8.4).

5. Clean the tool.

6. Do not continue to use the tool if the problem persists after carrying out the steps described above. Have the tool checked and repaired if necessary at a Hilti repair center.

● Never attempt to pry a cartridge from the magazine

strip or the tool.

● Keep the arms flexed when the tool is fired (do not

straighten the arms).

● Never leave the loaded tool unattended.

● Always unload the tool before beginning cleaning,

servicing or changing parts and before storage.

● Unused cartridges and tools not presently in use must

be stored in a place where they are not exposed to humidity or excessive heat. The tool should be transported and stored in a toolbox that can be locked or secured to prevent use by unauthorized persons.

1.8 Temperature

● Do not disassemble the tool while it is hot.

● Never exceed the recommended maximum fastener

driving rate (number of fastenings per hour). The tool may otherwise overheat.

● Should the plastic cartridge strip begin to melt, stop

using the tool immediately and allow it to cool down.

1.9 Requirements to be met by users

● The tool is intended for professional use.

● The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired only

by authorised, trained personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered.

● Proceed carefully and do not use the tool if your full
