2 Safety
2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety
▶Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
▶Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
▶Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
▶Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
▶Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
▶Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
▶Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
▶When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
▶Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
▶Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
▶Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off‐position before connecting to power
source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
▶Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
▶Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
▶Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

▶If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
▶Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
▶Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶Disconnect the plug from the power source from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
▶Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
▶Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
▶Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
2.2 Battery charger use and care
▶To avoid injury, use the charger only to charge Hilti Li-ion batteries approved for use with this charger.
▶The location at which the charger is used should be clean and cool but protected from frost.
▶The charger must be able to emit heat while in operation. The air vents must therefore remain
unobstructed. Accordingly, remove the charger from the toolbox. Do not operate the charger inside a
closed container.
▶Maintain the appliance carefully. Check to ensure that no parts are broken or damaged in such a way
that the appliance may no longer function correctly. If parts are damaged, have the parts repaired before
using the appliance.
▶Use chargers and the corresponding batteries in accordance with these instructions and as is specified
for this particular model. Use of chargers for applications different from those intended could result in
hazardous situations.
▶Recharge the batteries only with the chargers specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for a certain type of battery may present a risk of fire when used with other types of battery.
▶When not in use, keep the battery and the charger away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could cause a short circuit at the battery terminals or the charging
contacts. A short circuit between the battery terminals or charging contacts may cause injuries (burns)
and result in fire.
▶Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with the liquid. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid contacts the eyes, also seek medical attention. Liquid
leaking from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶Make sure that the batteries suffer no mechanical damage.
▶Do not charge or continue to use damaged batteries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts, bent or
pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
2.3 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶Do not take apart, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶Do not attempt to charge or continue to use damaged batteries.
▶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 left to cool
down. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has cooled down.
