9. Care and maintenance
9.1 Cleaning and drying
– Blow dust off the lenses.
– Do not touch the glass with your fingers.
– Use only a clean, soft cloth for cleaning.
If necessary, slightly moisten the cloths
with pure alcohol or a little water.
- NOTE -
– Do not use any other liquids as these
may damage the plastic parts.
– Observe the temperature limits when
storing your equipment. This is particu-
larly important in winter or summer,
especially if the equipment is kept inside
a vehicle (storage temperatures: -30°C
to +60°C / -22°F to +140°F).
9.2 Storage
– Remove the tool from its case if it has
become wet. Clean and dry the tool, its
carrying case and accessories (at max.
temperature of 40°C / 108° F). Re-pack
the equipment only when it is completely
dry.
– Check the accuracy of the equipment
before it is used after a long period of
storage or transportation.
– Remove the batteries if the tool is to be
stored for a long period.
9.3 Transportation
Use either the original Hilti cardboard box
or packaging of equivalent quality for
transporting or shipping your equipment.
- NOTE -
Always remove the batteries before
shipping the tool.
10. Disposal
-CAUTION-
Improper disposal of the equipment may
have serious consequences:
– The burning of plastic components gen-
erates toxic fumes which may present a
health hazard.
– Batteries may explode if damaged or
exposed to very high temperatures and
thus cause poisoning, burns, acid
burns or environmental pollution.
– Careless disposal may permit unautho-
rized and improper use of the equipment,
possibly leading to serious personal
injury, injury to third parties
and pollution of the environment.
Most of the materials from which Hilti tools
or appliances are manufactured can be
recycled. The materials must be properly
separated before they can be recycled.
In many countries, Hilti has already made
arrangements for taking back old tools and
appliances for recycling. Ask Hilti customer
service or your Hilti representative for
further information.
