Safety rules

1. General safety rules

-WARNING- Read all instructions! Failure to follow

all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains oper­ated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cord­less) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Work area

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, 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 operat-

ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

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. Unmod-

ified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces 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 condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-

rying, 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 approved for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.

The tool is designed for the following uses:

1.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before plugging in. Carrying power

tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-

ing 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 jew-

ellery. 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 these

devices can reduce dust related hazards.

1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow-

er 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.

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 preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci­dentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

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 main-

tained 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 and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.

1.5 Battery tool use and care

a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-

ing battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into

power tools that have the switch on invites acci­dents.

b) 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.

c) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

d) 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 terminals together may

cause burns or a fire.

e) 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 eject-

ed from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

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.

2 Additional safety precautions

2.1 Personal safety

a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause

hearing loss.

b) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss

of control can cause personal injury.

c)Always hold the tool securely with both hands on

the grips provided. Keep the grips clean, dry and
free from oil and grease.

d)Adjust the side handle to the desired position and

check that it is fitted and secured correctly.

e)Avoid contact with rotating parts. Switch the tool

on only once it has been brought into the working
position close to the workpiece.

f) Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool

with your finger on the on/off switch. The forwards

02_BA_TE6-ALi_P1 en 09.03.2006 18:02 Uhr Seite 14

/ 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.

g) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool

is used without a dust removal system for work
that creates dust.

h)Operate the tool only as directed and only when it

is in faultless condition.

i) Exercise your fingers during pauses between work

to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.

2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold

the workpiece in place. The workpiece is thus held

more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the tool.

b) Ensure that the insert tools used are equipped with

the appropriate connection end system and that
they are properly fitted and secured in the chuck.

2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area

(e.g. with a metal detector) to ensure that no con­cealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are
present. External metal parts of the tool may become

live if, for example, an electric cable is damaged
inadvertenly. This presents a serious risk of electric
shock.

2.4 Work area

a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.Poor-

ly ventilated workplaces may be injurious to the
health due to exposeure to dust.

2.5 Personal protective equipment

The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection
and protective gloves when the tool is in use. Breath­ing protection must be worn if no dust removal sys­tem is used.

and dry before inserting the battery in the appro­priate charger for charging.

b)Check that the battery is securely attached to the

tool. A falling battery could injure you or other per-

sons.

c)Batteries that have reached the end of their life

must be disposed of safely (see „Disposal“).

d)Observe the special instructions applicable to the

transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.

e)Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or fire

(danger of explosion).

f) Batteries must not be opened or dismantled, squas-

hed, heated to temperatures over 100°C or incine­rated. Failure to observe this point may result in
fire, explosion or injury through contact with cau­stic substances.

g)Do not use batteries other than those recommen-

ded for the applicable tool or appliance. Use of other
batteries or use of these batteries for purposes for
which they were not intended presents a risk of fire
or explosion.

2.7 Safety precautions when using the belt adaptor
(accessory only for the TE6-A)

a)The belt adapter may be used only together with the

TE 6-A

b)Check that the belt adaptor is securely attached to

the belt before beginning work.

c)Take care to ensure that the cord between the belt

adaptor and the tool doesn’t get caught on anything.
Disconnect the cord from the belt adaptor when you
put the tool down after use.

Battery charge status (only TE6-A Li) 

When a Li-ion battery is used, battery charge status can
be displayed by pressing one of the release buttons light­ly (press until resistance is felt – do not release the
battery!).

The LEDs on the rear of the battery provide the follo­wing information:

LED lights constantly LED blinks Charge status %

LED 1, 2, 3, 4 = 100%
LED 1, 2, 3 75% – 100%
LED 1, 2 50% – 75 %
LED 1 25% – 50%

LED 1 <25%

Note: The charge status cannot be indicated while the
tool is in operation. Indication is given (LED blinks) only
when the battery is fully discharged or when it has
overheated (temperature >80°).

Hammer drilling

1. Use TE-C hammer drill bits (for concrete, masonry

and natural stone) .

2. Move the selector lever to the hammer drilling posi-

tion (hammer symbol) .

3. Bring the tip of the drill bit into contact with the work­piece at the position where the hole is to be drilled
and press the control switch slowly. Drill at low speed
until the drill bit centers itself in the hole.

4. Press the control switch fully and continue drilling at
full power. When drilling a through hole, reduce dril­ling speed shortly before the drill bit breaks through.
This will reduce spalling around the hole.

5. Do not exert excessive pressure as this will not increa­se hammering power. Lower contact pressure increa­ses the life of the drill bit.

Drilling using the depth gauge

Always use the TE 6-A/ TE 6-A Li with the side handle.
The side handle is adjustable and can be clamped in any

desired position. Release the side handle by unscrew­ing the grip a few turns, bring the depth gauge to the
desired drilling depth and retighten the side handle .

Note: Use of the depth gauge increases the number of
holes drilled per battery charge by avoiding drilling holes
to excessive depth.

Belt adaptor (only for TE 6-A)

An accessory belt adaptor (BAP6-86) may be used to
reduce the weight of the tool.
Please observe the instructions under “Operation” and
the additional safety precautions listed in section 2.7.

Special insert tools programme

Should you require insert tools not included in the stan­dard programme, please contact the Hilti customer
service department or your Hilti representative. Hilti
offers a comprehensive range of special insert tools in
professional quality.

Care and maintenance

Care of the tool

The outer casing of the tool is made from impact-resis­tant plastic. Sections of the grip and dust shield are
made from 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 objects to enter the
interior of the tool.

Clean the dust shield on the chuck at regular intervals
using a clean, dry cloth. Carefully wipe the sealing lip
and grease it with a little Hilti grease. It is essential that
the dust shield is replaced when the sealing lip is dam­aged. Proceed as follows: Insert a screwdriver at the
edge of the dust shield and prise it out in a forwards
direction. Clean the contact surface and insert a new
dust shield. Press it in firmly until it engages.

Take care of your insert tools. Clean off dirt and dust
deposits. Always keep the connection end clean and
lightly greased.

Maintenance

Check all external parts of the tool for damage and
check that all controls operate faultlessly. Do not oper­ate the tool when parts are damaged or when the con­trols do not function faultlessly. When necessary, your
electric tool should be repaired at a Hilti service cen­tre.

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 dischar-

ging the battery as soon as a significant drop in per­formance is noticed.

–Use only the approved Hilti C 4/36-ACS charger to

charge the battery.

– Note: If use of the tool continues, further battery

discharge will be stopped automatically before the
battery cells suffer damage (LED 1 blinks).

–A conditioning charge (as is required with NiCd or

NiMH batteries) is not necessary.

– Interruption of the charging procedure has no nega-

tive effect on the life of the battery.

– Charging can be started from any state of discharge

with no negative effect on the life of the battery.
There is no memory effect (as with NiCd or NiMH
batteries).

– For best results, batteries should be stored fully char-

ged 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.

Manufacturers warranty – tools

Hilti warrants that the tool supplied is free of defects
in material and workmanship. This warranty is valid so
long as the tool is operated and handled correctly,
cleaned and serviced properly and in accordance with
the Hilti Operating Instructions, and the technical sys­tem is maintained. This means that only original Hilti
consumables, components and spare parts may be
used in the tool.

This warranty provides the free-of-charge repair or
replacement of defective parts only over the entire lifes­pan of the tool. Parts requiring repair or replacement
as a result of normal wear and tear are not covered by
this warranty.

Additional claims are excluded, unless stringent
national rules prohibit such exclusion. In particular,
Hilti is not obligated for direct, indirect, incidental
or consequential damages, losses or expenses in
connection with, or by reason of, the use of, or inabil­ity to use the tool for any purpose. Implied warranties
of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
are specifically excluded.

For repair or replacement, send tool or related parts
immediately upon discovery of the defect to the address
of the local Hilti marketing organization provided.

This constitutes Hilti's entire obligation with regard to
warranty and supersedes all prior or contemporane­ous comments and oral or written agreements con­cerning warranties.

Disposal

Return waste material for recycling.

Most of the materials from which Hilti power tools are
manufactured can be recycled. The materials must be
correctly separated before they can be recycled. In
many countries, Hilti has already made arrangements
for taking back your old electric tools for recycling.
Please ask your Hilti customer service department or
Hilti sales representative for further information.

Dispose of the battery in accordance with national reg­ulations or return used batteries to Hilti for recycling.

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.

Only for EU countries

Disposal of electric tools together with household waste
is not permissible!

In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment and its imple­mentation in accordance with national law, electric tools
that have reached the end of their life must be collected
separately and returned to an environmentally compat­ible recycling facility.

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 impro-

per use of the equipment. This may result in serious
personal injury, injury to third parties and pollution
of the environment.
