3. Safety precautions
When using electric tools, the following fundamental
safety precautions must always be observed in order to
avoid the risk of injury, electric shock and fire hazards.
Please read and observe the instructions below before
using the tool.
1. Use protective equipment.
Wear protective
glasses
2. Wear suitable working clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing, loose long hair or jewellery
as it can become caught up in moving parts of the machine.
Wear non-slip shoes.
3. Make the working area safe.
Objects which could cause injury should be removed
from the working area. Ensure that the area is well lit.
When working, keep other persons outside the range of
the tool you are using.
Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece.
4. Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account.
Do not operate the tool in the vicinity of flammable liquids
or gasses.
Do not use the tool under water .
5. Check the tool each time before use.
Check the condition of the tool. Do not use it if it is damaged, incomplete or if the controls cannot be operated
correctly.
6. Use the correct insert tool.
Ensure that the insert tools (drill bits, etc.) are equipped
with the appropriate connection end for the chuck system in use and that they are locked in position correctly
in the chuck.
Use only the recommended original Hilti accessories
and auxiliary equipment.
7. Use the tool only for the purposes for which it is
intended (see page 8).
Do not overload the tool.
8. Apply a safe working method.
Always concentrate on the job. Avoid unfavourable body
positions. Always ensure that you have a safe stance.
Always remain attentive. The drill bit may become stuck
unexpectedly. Switch the tool off if you are distracted
from your work.
Wear respiratory protection if the
work causes dust.
9. T ake care to avoid concealed cables and pipes.
Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes present a serious hazard if damaged while you are working. Accordingly, check the area in which you are working beforehand, e.g. using a metal detector . Avoid con tact between your body and earthed / grounded objects
such as pipes or radiators. External metal parts of the
tool may become live, for example, when an electric
cable is drilled into inadvertently.
10. Avoid unintentional starting.
The forwards / reverse / transport lock switch should be
brought into the transport lock position (middle position ) when the tool is not in use, e.g. during pauses
between work, before maintenance, when changing
insert tools and during transport.
11. Keep the electric tool and insert tools in good
condition.
Follow the care and maintenance instructions and replace
insert tools in good time. Never operate the tool when
it is dirty or wet. Dust or dampness on the surface of the
tool makes it slippery and difficult to hold.
Repairs to the tool may be carried out only by an authorised electrical specialist using original Hilti spare parts.
Failure to observe this point may result in damage to the
tool or present a risk of accident. Accordingly, if necessary, have the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre or
authorised Hilti repair workshop.
12.Avoid short circuiting the terminals of the battery (accessory).
Short circuiting the battery terminals presents a risk of
fire.
13. Check of proper battery seating in tool.
If the battery is not properly inserted, it can drop out
when working and cause an injury.
14. Keep the tool out of the reach of children.
Knowledge of the operating instructions is a must if the
tool is to be used without injury or damage to persons
and / or product respectively. Store idle tools, when not
in use. Tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked
up place, out of reach of children.
15. Secure work
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand and out frees both hands to operate the
tool.
16. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired.
17. Hearing protection should be worn.

4. Before use
It is essential that the safety precautions printed in these operating instructions are read and observed
before the tool is used.
The SF150-A may be used only with the SFB150
or SFB155 battery.
Before it is used for the first time, it is essential
that a new battery is charged for 24 hours in normal
charging mode or up to 12 hours using the conditioning charging mode, thus permitting “forming” of the
battery cells to take place.
At low temperatures: Battery performance drops at low
temperatures. Store the battery at room temperature
when not in use.
At high temperatures: Do not store a battery where it
may be subjected to high temperatures (e.g. exposed
to the sun, at a window, behind a car windscreen or on
a radiator).
Do not completely run down the battery. The cells can
be damaged if the battery is completely discharged.
Speed selection
Two-speed switch
The speed can be selected using the mechanical twospeed switch, i.e. 1
0–1450 r .p.m. Only change speed when the drill driver
is not running.
Torque selection
Torque clutch setting ring
The release torque (2–12 Nm) is obtained by turning the
setting ring to the desired torque level (setting 1–15).
At the drilling symbol (), the torque clutch is
blocked and the drill driver gives its max. torque of about
29 Nm (stalling torque) at this setting.
Reversing switch
The reversing switch is used to reverse the direction of
rotation of the chuck. A locking device prevents operation of the switch while the motor is running. The control switch is deactivated when the reversing switch
is in the central position.
Speed control
Switch with electronic speed control
The speed can be controlled infinitely from zero to maximum by slowly depressing the switch.
Use of side handle
st
speed: 0–450 r.p.m. or 2ndspeed:
5. Operation
Insert tool insertion and removal
Use the safety catch as protection against unintentional switching on during transport or when inserting or removing an insert tool.
Quick-release chuck
An insert tool can be clamped or released without a chuck
key. When the drill driver is switched off by the on-off
control switch, the spindle is locked. This is a help when
opening / tightening the quick-release chuck.
Battery removal
Battery release button
If the battery has to be changed, press in the two release
buttons using two fingers and pull the battery out of the
drill driver .
Battery insertion
Push in the battery as far as it will go. There must be an
audible click.
Only the Hilti SFB150 or SFB155 batteries may be used.
Battery charging
Only the Hilti SFC7/18 or TCU7/36 battery charger may
be used. Please refer to the charger operating instructions for the charging process.
dle. The side handle is adjustable and can be clamped
Always use the SF150-A with the side han-
in any disired position. Release the side handle by unscrewing the grip a few turns, bring it to the desired position
and retighten the side handle.
6. Care and maintenance
Care of the tool
The outer casing of the tool is made of impact-resistant
plastic. Sections of the grip are made of an elastomer
material.
Clean the outside of the tool at regular intervals using a slightly damp cloth. Do not use a spray,
steam pressure cleaning equipment or running water
for cleaning. This may negatively affect the electrical
safety of the tool. Always keep the grip surfaces of the
tool free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning agents
which contain silicone.
Never operate the tool when the ventilation slots
are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Do not permit foreign matter to enter the
interior of the tool.
Take care of your insert tools. Clean off dirt and dust
deposits. Always keep the connection end clean and
lightly greased.
10
SFB150 and SFB155 batteries
Keep the contact surfaces free of dust and lubricants.
Clean them if necessary using a clean cloth. If the battery capacity drops below an acceptable level after a
short period of use, we recommend that it be diagnosed
by Hilti.
Maintenance
Check all external parts of the tool for damage and check
that all controls operate faultlessly. Do not operate the
tool if parts are damaged or if the controls do not function faultlessly. If necessary, your electric tool should
be repaired at a Hilti service centre.

electric tools to be taken back and batteries for recycling. Please ask the local Hilti customer service or Hilti
representative for further information.
Should you wish to return the electric tool yourself to a disposal facility for recycling, proceed as follows: Dismantle
the electric tool as far as possible without the need for special tools. Use absorbent paper to wipe greasy parts
clean and to collect the grease that runs out. This paper should also be disposed of correctly. On no account should
grease be allowed to enter the waste water system or to find its way into the ground.
