▶
Check that the belt hook is fitted securely before beginning work.
▶
Do not carry the power tool by the depth gauge.
This clip-on part could pull off inadvertently.
▶
Check that the power tool is placed in a secure position when it is laid down, especially when used
with the magazine and / or extension.
▶
Check that accessory tools are compatible with the power tool’s chuck/drive system and that they
are fitted and secured correctly.
▶
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may
be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases among operators or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust such as oak and beech wood dust
are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may be worked on only by specialists.
Use a dust
removal system that is as effective as possible. Accordingly, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of
the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust and which is designed for use
with this power tool. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Observe national regulations
applicable to the materials you intend to work with.
▶
Observe the nationally applicable industrial safety regulations.
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 tool may
become live, for example, when an electric cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety
▶
The user and all other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable protective equipment including
protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and light respiratory protection
while the power tool is in use.
Use and care of battery-powered tools
▶
Check that the tool is switched off before inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery into an electric
tool that is switched on can lead to accidents.
▶
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and keep them away from fire.
There is a risk of
explosion.
▶
Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C (176°F).
This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances.
▶
Avoid ingress of moisture.
Ingress of moisture may cause a short circuit, resulting in burning injuries or
fire.
▶
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶
Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Check that the battery terminals and the terminals in
the power tool are free from foreign objects before inserting the battery in the tool.
Short circuiting
the battery terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion and chemical burns.
▶
Do not continue to use or attempt to charge damaged batteries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken
parts, bent or pushed-in/pulled-out contacts).
▶
Do not use the battery as a power source for other unspecified power tools or appliances.
▶
If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective.
In this case, place the power tool in a non-
flammable location, well away from flammable materials, where it can be kept under observation
and allowed to cool down. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has cooled down.
