8. Care and maintenance
8.1 Care of the tool
The outer casing of the tool is manufactured from impactresistant plastic. The grip sections are manufactured from
synthetic rubber.
Clean the outside of the tool at regular intervals with a
slightly damp cloth. Do not use a spray cleaning system,
high-pressure steam cleaning system or running water
for cleaning. These may negatively affect the electrical
safety of the tool. Always keep the grip sections of the
tool free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning agents
or polishes, etc. containing silicone.
8.2 Care of the battery
Keep the electrical contacts free from dust, oil and grease.
If necessary, use a clean cloth to clean the contact surfaces.
In the event of battery capacity dropping below an acceptable level after a long period of use, we recommend that
the battery is returned to Hilti for a diagnostic check.
Avoid short-circuiting the battery contacts. This could
present a risk of fire in certain situations and may cause
corrosive liquid to leak from the battery. Avoid contact
with this liquid.
