Personal protective equipment
▶
You and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection and a hard hat while the tool
is in use.
▶
Wear ear protectors.
◁
The fastener driving action is initiated by ignition of a propellant charge. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Personal safety
▶
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
▶
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 back the magazine, fastener guide or fastener by hand.
◁
Under certain circumstances, the tool could be made ready to fire by pulling back the magazine,
fastener guide or the fastener 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).
▶
Keep other people away from the working area, especially children.
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, check the cartridge power level and the power regulator setting.
◁
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.
▶
Use a spall stop / protective cap when the application permits.
▶
Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
▶
Transport and store the tool in a secured toolbox.
▶
Always unload the tool (remove cartridges and 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 into which you want
to drive them.
▶
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.
▶
Do not use the tool in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion unless the tool is specially approved
for this type of use.
▶
Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this is recommended by
Hilti
(e.g. DX-Kwik).
Workstation
▶
Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the working area.
◁
Untidiness in the working area can lead to accidents.
▶
Make sure that the working area is well lit and well ventilated.
