5. Safety instructions
NOTE
The safety rules in section 5.1 contain all general
safety rules for power tools which, in accordance
with the applicable standards, require to be listed in
the operating instructions. Accordingly, some of the
rules listed may not be relevant to this tool.
5.1 General power tool safety warnings
a)
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Fail-
ure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1.1 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
5.1.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
5
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
ಣ
of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
en
the risk of electric shock.
5.1.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
5.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
position before connecting
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6
5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
5.2 Additional safety precautions
5.2.1 Personal safety
a) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
b) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
c) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
d) Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
e) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
f) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially
rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.
g) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch
in the middle position) before storing or transporting the power tool.
h) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
i) The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
j) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding,
sanding, cutting and drilling contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects,
infertility or other reproductive harm; or serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from
lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
concrete and other masonry products and natural
stone, arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber. Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce exposure to these chemicals,
the operator and bystanders should work in a
well-ventilated area, work with approved safety
equipment, such as respiratory protection appropriate for the type of dust generated, and
designed to filter out microscopic particles and
direct dust away from the face and body. Avoid
prolonged contact with dust. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) Ensure fastener and attachment will withstand
the level of torque generated by the tool. Exces-
sive torque may overstress, strip or damage the
fastener/attachment and possibly lead to personal
injury.
5.2.3 Cordless tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into a lamp that is switched on may dazzle
you.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-
teries and do not subject them to temperatures
over 80°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
d) Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may
cause a short circuit resulting in a risk of burning
injury or fire.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appliance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
f) Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Remove the battery before storing or transport-
ing the power tool.
h) Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Check that the
terminals on the battery and in the power tool
en
7
are free from foreign objects before inserting
the battery in the power tool. Short circuiting the
battery terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion
and chemical burns.
i) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
en
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
j) If the battery gets too hot to touch, this may indi-
cate that it is faulty. Place the tool at a location
where there is no risk of causing a fire (at least 3
meters away from flammable materials), where
it can be kept under observation and allowed to
cool. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has
been allowed to cool.
5.2.4 Electrical safety
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
5.2.5 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
5.2.6 Personal protective equipment
Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
6. Before use

8. Care and maintenance
CAUTION
Before beginning cleaning, remove the battery from
the power tool in order to prevent unintentional
starting.
8.1 Care of insert tools
Clean off dirt and dust deposits adhering to the insert
tools and protect them from corrosion by wiping the
insert tools from time to time with an oil-soaked rag.
8.2 Care of the power tool
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces,
clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use
cleaning agents which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the power tool is made from
impact-resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made
from a synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation
slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully
using a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to
enter the interior of the power tool. Clean the outside
of the power tool at regular intervals with 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
power tool.
8.3 Maintenance
WARNING
Repairs to the electrical section of the power tool
may be carried out only by trained electrical specialists.
faultlessly. If necessary, the power tool should be
repaired by Hilti Service.
8.4 Care of the Li-ion battery
Avoid entrance of moisture.
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first
time.
In order to achieve maximum battery life, stop discharging the battery as soon as a significant drop in
performance is noticed.
NOTE
If use of the power tool continues, further battery
discharge will be stopped automatically before the
battery cells suffer damage.
Charge the battery with the Hilti charger approved for
use with Li-ion batteries.
NOTE
- A conditioning charge (as is required with NiCd or
NiMH batteries) is not necessary.
- Interruption of the charging procedure has no negative effect on battery life.
- Charging can be started at any time with no negative
effect on battery life. There is no memory effect (as
with NiCd or NiMH batteries).
- For best results, batteries should be stored fully
charged in a cool dry place. Avoid charging the battery
in places subject to high ambient temperatures (e.g.
at a window) as this has an adverse effect on battery
life and increases the rate of self-discharge.
- If the battery no longer reaches full charge, it may
have lost capacity due to aging or overstressing. It
is possible to continue working with a battery in this
condition but it should be replaced in good time.
en
Check all external parts of the power tool for damage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the power tool if parts
are damaged or when the controls do not function
8.5 Checking the power tool after care and
maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance work on
the power tool, check that all protective and safety
devices are fitted and that they function faultlessly.

CAUTION
Improper disposal of the equipment may have serious consequences: The burning of plastic components
generates toxic fumes which may present a health hazard. Batteries may explode if damaged or exposed to
very high temperatures, causing poisoning, burns, acid burns or environmental pollution. Careless disposal
may permit unauthorized and improper use of the equipment. This may result in serious personal injury, injury
to third parties and pollution of the environment.
CAUTION
Dispose of defective batteries without delay. Keep them out of reach of children. Do not attempt to open or
dismantle batteries and do not dispose of them by incineration.
CAUTION
Dispose of the batteries in accordance with national regulations or return them to Hilti.
