3. Screws
For the same type of screw or fastening, the screw diam-
eter governs the torque.
For the same screw diameter, the screw length and type
of screw head determine the achievable torque.
4. Extensions
The use of extensions, link joints, etc. reduces the torque.
This can be counteracted by driving the screw longer.
5. Base material
The way the screwdriver is used and the material being
screwed into influence the torque.
In concrete base material (concrete screws), hole tol-
erance and different concrete strengths are responsible
for different resistance to penetration.
It is recommended that trials be carried out with prob-
lematic screw fastenings on the jobsite.
Maintenance
Prior to working on the screwdriver, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is
pulled out of the electric supply socket / receptacle.
To keep this screwdriver safe and reliable, its mainte-
nance, repair and adjustment should only be carried out
by workshops or customer service centres authorised
by Hilti which use only original Hilti spare parts.
-CAUTION-
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces, clean
and free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning agents
which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the tool is made from impactresis-
tant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a syn-
thetic rubber material. Never operate the tool when the
ventilation slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots
carefully using a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects
to enter the interior of the tool. Clean the outside of the
tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do not
use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or run-
ning water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the tool.
Manufacturer's warranty – tools
Hilti warrants that the tool supplied is free of defects in
material and workmanship. This warranty is valid so
long as the tool is operated and handled correctly, cleaned
and serviced properly and in accordance with the Hilti
Operating Instructions, and the technical system is main-
tained. This means that only original Hilti consumables,
components and spare parts may be used in the tool.
This warranty provides the free-of-charge repair or
replacement of defective parts only over the entire lifes-
pan of the tool. Parts requiring repair or replacement as
a result of normal wear and tear are not covered by this
warranty.
Additional claims are excluded, unless stringent nation-
al rules prohibit such exclusion. In particular, Hilti is
not obligated for direct, indirect, incidental or conse-
quential damages, losses or expenses in connection
with, or by reason of, the use of, or inability to use the
tool for any purpose. Implied warranties of mer-
chantability or fitness for a particular purpose are
specifically excluded.
For repair or replacement, send tool or related parts
immediately upon discovery of the defect to the address
of the local Hilti marketing organization provided.
This constitutes Hilti's entire obligation with regard to
warranty and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
comments and oral or written agreements concerning
warranties.
