▶
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a direct
fastening tool. Don’t use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. Take a break if you experience pain or feel unwell. A moment
of inattention while operating tools may result in serious personal injury.
▶
Avoid working in awkward body positions. Make sure you work from a safe stance
and stay in balance at all times.
▶
Wear non-skid shoes.
▶
Never pull the fastener guide or fastener back with your hand.
◁
Under certain circumstances, the tool could be made ready to fire by pulling the
fastener guide or the fastener back by hand. When the tool is ready to fire, fasteners
or the piston could be driven inadvertently into parts of the body.

Keep the arms slightly bent while operating the tool (do not straighten the arms).

Use and care of direct fastening tools
WARNING! Danger of fasteners penetrating right through.
Before driving fasteners,
check to make sure that no one is present behind or below the object into which the
fastener is to be driven.
▶
Before beginning the work, carry out a test by driving 2 fasteners into the material you
are working on.
▶
Use the right tool for the work you are carrying out. Do not use the tool for purposes
for which it was not intended. Use it only as directed and when in faultless condition.
▶
Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
▶
Transport and store the tool in a secured toolbox.
▶
Always unload the tool (remove fasteners) before cleaning, maintenance, changing
the fastener guide, before work breaks and before storing the tool.
▶
When not in use, the tool should be unloaded and stored in a locked, dry place where
it is inaccessible to children.
▶
Check the tool and the accessories for any damage. Check that moving parts function
faultlessly, without sticking, and that no parts are damaged.
◁
All parts must be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary for correct
operation of the tool. Damaged parts must be properly repaired or replaced by
Hilti
Service unless otherwise stated in the operating instructions.
▶
Before driving fasteners, check that there is no electrical wiring behind the surface on
which you are working.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into unsuitable materials.
◁
Unsuitable materials include welded steel and cast steel, cast iron, glass, marble,
plastic, bronze, brass, copper, insulating material, hollow brick, ceramic brick, thin
sheet metal (< 4 mm) and cellular concrete. Driving a fastener into these materials
may cause the fastener to break, shatter or to be driven right through.
▶
Pull the trigger only when the tool is fully pressed against the working surface at right
angles.
▶
When driving fasteners, always hold the fastening tool at right angles to the working
surface in order to prevent the fastener being deflected by the surface.
▶
Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
