5 Safety instructions
5.1 Basic information concerning safety
Observe the safety information and the operating instruc-
tions for the Hilti metal construction screwdriver used.
In addition to the information relevant to safety given
in each of the sections of these operating instructions,
the following safety instructions must be strictly ob-
served at all times.
The Hilti metal construction screwdriver can then be used
in the stand-up tool with maximum safety.
5.2 Requirements to be met by users
a) The machine is intended for professional use.
b) The machine may be operated, serviced and re-
paired only by authorized, trained personnel. This
personnel must be informed of any special haz-
ards that may be encountered.
c) Always concentrate on your work. Think carefully
about what you are doing and do not use the
appliance if you are unable to concentrate.
d) Check that the core bits used are compatible with
the chuck system and that they are secured in the
chuck correctly.
e) Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
present a serious hazard if damaged while you
are working. Accordingly, check the working area
before you begin. External metal parts of the ap-
pliance or machine may become live, for example,
when an electric cable is damaged accidentally.
f) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
g) Always lead the supply cord and extension cord
away from the appliance to the rear while work-
ing. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord while
working.
h) The appliance may spring back if released sud-
denly while under tension (e.g. when pressed down),
presenting a risk of injury (especially bruising). Re-
lease the spring pressure in the appliance in a
controlled manner.
i) Take care when the appliance is under tension and
turned upside down. Keep well away from the
nosepiece. It may suddenly spring out, presenting a
considerable risk of injury.
j) Follow the instructions concerning care and main-
tenance.
k) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
