Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating tools or other accessories, may lead to injury.
▶
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. To achieve a high level of dust collection, 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 tool. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Observe
national regulations applicable to the materials you intend to work with.
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.
Work area
▶
If the work involves breaking right through, take the appropriate safety measures at the opposite
side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down and injure other persons.
Use and care of battery-powered tools
▶
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, the direct heat of the sun, 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.
▶
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶
Never 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. Allow the battery to cool in a place where there
