a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the power tool. Clean the outside of the power
tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do
not use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or
running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the power tool.
8.3 Cleaning or replacing the dust shield
Clean the dust shield on the chuck with a dry, clean
cloth at regular intervals. Clean the sealing lip by wiping it
carefully and then grease it again lightly with Hilti grease.
It is essential that the dust shield is replaced if the sealing
lip is found to be damaged. Push the tip of a screwdriver
under the edge of the dust shield and prise it out toward
the front. Clean the area of the chuck in contact with dust
shield and then fit a new dust shield. Press it in firmly
until it engages.
8.4 Care of the Li-ion battery
Avoid entrance of moisture.
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first time.
In order to achieve maximum battery life, stop discharging
the battery as soon as a significant drop in performance
is noticed.
NOTE
If use of the power tool continues, further battery dis-
charge will be stopped automatically before the battery
cells suffer damage.
Charge the battery with the Hilti charger approved for use
with Li-ion batteries.
NOTE
- A conditioning charge (as is required with NiCd or
NiMH batteries) is not necessary.
- Interruption of the charging procedure has no negative
effect on battery life.
- Charging can be started at any time with no negative
effect on battery life. There is no memory effect (as
with NiCd or NiMH batteries).
- For best results, batteries should be stored fully
charged in a cool dry place. Avoid charging the battery
in places subject to high ambient temperatures (e.g. at
a window) as this has an adverse effect on battery life
and increases the rate of self-discharge.
- If the battery no longer reaches full charge, it may
have lost capacity due to aging or overstressing. It
is possible to continue working with a battery in this
condition but it should be replaced in good time.
8.5 Maintenance
WARNING
Repairs to the electrical section of the power tool may
be carried out only by trained electrical specialists.

at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the power tool if parts are
damaged or when the controls do not function faultlessly.
If necessary, the power tool should be repaired by Hilti
Service.
8.6 Checking the power tool after care and
maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance work on the
power tool, check that all protective and safety devices
are fitted and that they function faultlessly.
