Under unfavorable circum-
stances, dampness or dust adhering to the sur-
face of the tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may lead to damage to the tool.
5.3.4 Battery use and care
a)
Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter-
ies.
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)
Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance.
Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
e)
Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
f) 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.
5.3.5 Work area safety
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.
5.3.6 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, a hard
hat, ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the power tool is in use.
6. Before use
WARNING
Never use the power tool without the guard.
6.1 Battery use and care
NOTE
Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Use
the tool only after fully charging the battery. This
ensures that maximum battery capacity is available.
Change to a second battery as soon as a drop in
performance is noticed. Recharge the battery imme-
diately so that it is ready for reuse.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store
the battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind a
motor vehicle windscreen. Batteries that have reached
the end of their life must be disposed of safely and
correctly to avoid environmental pollution.
6.2 Charging the battery
DANGER
Only used the specified Hilti battery packs and Hilti
battery chargers which are listed under "Acces-
sories".
6.2.1 Charging a new battery for the first time
