5.3.2 Power tool use and care
a)
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece.
The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b)
Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c)
Take care to ensure that metal cuttings do not
find their way into the tool or battery.
d)
Empty the chip collector and clean the power
tool before putting it away in the toolbox or other
container for storage or transport.
Metal chips
may otherwise fall out of the collector and find
their way into the power tool, battery or charger,
presenting a risk of damage or malfunction.
5.3.3 Electrical safety
Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present.
External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
5.3.4 Battery use and care
a)
Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter-
ies.
b)
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire.
This presents a risk of explosion.
c)
Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-
teries and do not subject them to temperatures
over 80°C (176°F).
A risk of fire, explosion or
injury through contact with caustic substances
may otherwise result.
d)
Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance.
Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
e)
Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
f) If the battery gets too hot to touch, this may indi-
cate that it is faulty.
Place the tool at a location
where there is no risk of causing a fire (at least 3
meters away from flammable materials), where
it can be kept under observation and allowed to
cool. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has
been allowed to cool.
5.3.5 Work area
a)
Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b)
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
5.3.6 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, a hard
hat, ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the machine is in use.
5.3.7 Safety precautions
Do not switch the power tool on if the saw blade,
the blade guard or the pivoting guard are not fitted
correctly.
