Touching rotating parts, especially rotating drill bits, discs
or blades, etc. may lead to injury.
CAUTION
The insert tool may get hot during use.
Wear protective
gloves when changing insert tools.
WARNING
Reduce the load on the power tool by avoiding tilt-
ing the disc in the kerf when cutting.
The disc may
otherwise break, or the power tool may kick back or stall.
CAUTION
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by re-
laxing your hands and exercising your fingers during
breaks between working.
WARNING
Keep inflammable materials away from the working
area.
CAUTION
In accordance with the applications for which it is de-
signed, the power tool produces a high torque.
Always
use the side handle and hold the power tool with both
hands.
The user must be prepared for sudden sticking
and stalling of the insert tool.
CAUTION
Working on the material may cause it to splinter.
Wear
eye protection and protective gloves. Wear breathing
protection if no dust removal system is used.
Splin-
tering material presents a risk of injury to the eyes and
body.
7.1 Rough grinding
CAUTION
Never use abrasive cutting discs for grinding.
Best results are obtained when the disc maintains an
angle of 5° to 30° with the working surface when grinding.
Move the power tool to and fro while applying moderate
pressure. This will avoid overheating and discoloration of
the workpiece and ensure an even surface finish.
7.2 Cutting
When cutting, apply moderate feed pressure and do not
tilt the power tool or, respectively, the cutting disc (hold
at approx. 90° to the surface being cut). For best results,
start cutting at the smallest cross section when cutting
profiles and square tube.
7.3 Hold-to-run switch
13
The hold-to-run switch with built-in safety interlock en-
ables the user to check the switch function and prevents
inadvertent starting of the power tool.
1. Press the safety release to unlock the hold-to-run
switch and then press the switch fully.
2. When the hold-to-run switch is released, the safety
interlock returns automatically to the locked posi-
tion.
8 Care and maintenance
CAUTION
Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet.
8.1 Care of the power tool
DANGER
Under extreme conditions, when used for working on
metal, conductive dust may accumulate inside the tool.
This may have an adverse effect on the tool’s protective
insulation.
Under such conditions, the tool should be
plugged into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
and use of a stationary dust removal system and
frequent cleaning of the tool’s cooling air slots is
recommended.
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 air vents are
blocked. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents care-
fully with a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to
enter the interior of the tool. The motor’s fan will draw
dust into the casing and an excessive accumulation of
conductive dust (e.g. metal, carbon fiber) may cause
electrical hazards. 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 elec-
trical 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.
NOTE
Frequent work on conductive materials (e.g. metal, car-
bon fiber) may make shorter maintenance intervals nec-
essary. Take your individual work place risk assessment
into account.
8.2 Maintenance
WARNING
Do not operate the power tool if parts are damaged
or when the controls do not function faultlessly. Have
the power tool repaired by Hilti Service.
WARNING
Repairs to the electrical section of the power tool may
be carried out only by trained electrical specialists.
Check all external parts of the power tool for damage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly.
