2. Description
The tool is designed for driving specially manufactured
nails (fasteners) into concrete, steel and other materials
suitable for the direct fastening technique (please refer
to the Fastening Technology Manual). The piston principle employed ensures maximum operating safety and
fastening reliability. Gas is used as a propellant.
The tool, gas can and fasteners form a single technical
unit. This means that the tool can achieve optimum fastening performance only when used in conjunction with
the Hilti fasteners and gas cans specially designed and
manufactured for it. The fastening and application recommendations given by Hilti apply only when these conditions are observed.
2.1 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 veloc-

ity (less than 100 m/sec.) in a controlled manner. The
fastener 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.
2.2 Drop-firing safety device
The drop-firing safety device is the result of coupling the
firing mechanism with the cocking movement. This prevents the tool from firing when dropped onto a hard surface, no matter at which angle the impact occurs.
2.3 Trigger safety device
The trigger safety device ensures that a fastener cannot
be driven simply by pulling the trigger only. The tool must
be pressed against a firm surface before a fastener can
be released.
2.3.1 Contact pressure safety device
The tool can be fired only when pressed against a firm
surface with a significant force.

5. Safety precautions
5.1 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.
5.2 Use as intended
The tool is intended mainly for professional use. It designed
for driving nails into concrete, steel, sand-lime block,
concrete block masonry and masonry with a plaster or
cement rendering finish when installing drywall partitions and for other suitable fastening applications in the
construction industry and associated trades.
● Manipulation or modification of the tool is not per-
missible.
● To avoid the risk of injury, use only original Hilti acces-
sories and consumables.
● Observe the information printed in the operating instruc-
tions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
● Never point the tool at yourself or at any bystander.
● Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your hand
or other part of your body (or other person’s hand or
parts of their body).
● Do not attempt to drive fasteners into unsuitable mate-
rials:
- Materials that are too hard, e.g. welded steel and cast
iron
- Materials that are too soft, e.g. wood and drywall
panel
- Materials that are too brittle, e.g. glass and ceramic
tiles
Driving a nail into these materials may cause the nail
to break, shatter or to be driven right through.
