7 Care and maintenance
CAUTION
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power out-
let.
7.1 Care of the appliance
The outer casing of the appliance is made from impact-
resistant plastic.
Clean the exterior of the appliance at regular intervals with
a slightly damp cloth or a dry brush. Do not use a spray,
steam pressure cleaning equipment or running water for
cleaning. This may negatively affect the electrical safety
of the appliance. Always keep the appliance free from oil
and grease. Do not use cleaning agents which contain
silicone.
7.2 Maintenance
WARNING
Repairs to electrical parts and replacement of the
supply cord may be carried out only by trained elec-
trical specialists.
Check all external parts of the appliance for damage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the appliance when parts are
damaged or when the controls do not function correctly.
If necessary, the appliance should be repaired by Hilti
Service.
7.3 Care of the battery
Keep the electrical contacts free from dust, oil and
grease.
If necessary, use a clean cloth to clean the contact
surfaces.
If battery capacity drops below an acceptable level after
many periods of use and recharging, we recommend
having it checked by Hilti.
8 Disposal
DANGER
Improper disposal of the equipment may have serious consequences:
The burning of plastic components generates toxic fumes which may present a health hazard.
Batteries may explode if damaged or exposed to very high temperatures, causing poisoning, burns, acid burns or
environmental pollution.
Careless disposal may permit unauthorized and improper use of the equipment. This may result in 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 correctly 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.
For EC countries only
Disposal of electric appliances together with household waste is not permissible.
In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation in accordance with national law, electric appliances that have reached the end of their
life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
Dispose of the batteries in accordance with national regulations.
