2. Description
2.1 Use of the product as directed
The tool is designed for cutting, grinding and brushing metal or mineral materials (concrete, stone, etc.)
without use of water. Use of a guide carriage is mandatory for cutting stone.
The working environment may be as follows: construction site, workshop, renovation, conversion or new
construction.
The power tool may be operated only when connected to a power supply providing a voltage and frequency in
compliance with the information given on its type plate.
Working with metals: Cutting, rough grinding, fine grinding, brushing
Working with mineral materials: Cutting and slitting using the corresponding dust removal hood (DC EX),
grinding using the corresponding dust removal hood (DG EX).
Use only grinding discs, cutting discs, cup wheels etc. that are approved for use at a speed of at least 11000
r.p.m. (125 mm / 5" dia.) or at least 9300 r.p.m. (150 mm / 6" dia.).
en
2

Use only synthetic resin-bonded, fiber-reinforced grinding or cutting discs or diamond cutting discs approved
for use at a peripheral speed of 80 m/sec.
The tool may be used only for dry cutting or grinding.
Cutting or grinding materials containing asbestos is not permissible.
When grinding stone, a vacuum cleaner equipped with a stone dust filter, e.g. the Hilti VCU 40 / VCD 50
vacuum cleaner, must be used.
Changes or modifications to the tool are not permissible.
To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and insert tools.
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
The tool is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained by trained, authorized
personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The tool and its
ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as
directed.

2.3 Starting current limitation
The electronic starting current limiter reduces the starting current drawn by the tool and thus prevents the
mains fuse blowing. It also allows the tool to start smoothly, without a jolt.
2.4 Constant-speed electronics
Electronic speed control keeps running speed almost constant irrespective of whether the tool is idling or
running under load. Constant running speed helps ensure maximum efficiency.
2.5 ATC (Active Torque Control)
The electronics in the tool detect situations where there is a risk of the disc sticking and prevent further rotation
of the drive spindle by switching the tool off (does not prevent kickback). The switch must be released and
pressed again to restart the tool.
2.6 Restart interlock
The tool does not restart by itself when the switch is locked in the "on" position and the power returns after an
interruption in the electric supply. The switch must first be released and then pressed again to restart.
2.7 Temperature-dependent motor protection
The temperature-dependent motor protection system prevents the tool overheating by monitoring current
input and motor temperature.
In the event of motor overload due to application of excessive pressure to the disc, performance will drop
noticeably or the tool may stop running (avoid stalling the tool in this way).
Permissible tool overload cannot be given as a specific value as it depends on the temperature of the motor .
en

In the event of the tool being overloaded, release the pressure applied and allow the tool to run under no load
for approx. 30 seconds.
2.8 Using extension cords
Use only extension cords of a type approved for the application and with conductors of adequate cross section.
The tool may otherwise loose performance and the extension cord may overheat. Check the extension cord for
damage at regular intervals. Replace damaged extension cords.

Do not use extension cords with 1.25 mm² or 16 AWG conductor cross sections.
2.9 Using extension cords outdoors
When working outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved and correspondingly marked for this
application.
2.10 Using a generator or transformer
This tool may be powered by a generator or transformer when the following conditions are fulfilled: The unit
must provide AC voltage and a power output in watts of at least twice the value printed on the rating plate on
the electric tool. The operating voltage must remain within +5% and -15% of the rated voltage at all times,
frequency must be in the 50 – 60 Hz range and never above 65 Hz, and the unit must be equipped with
automatic voltage regulation and starting boost.
Never operate other tools or appliances from the generator or transformer at the same time. Switching other
tools or appliances on and off may cause undervoltage and / or overvoltage peaks, resulting in damage to the
tool.
2.11 Using the Kwik-Lock clamping nut with grinding / cutting discs
The Kwik-Lock nut may be used instead of the standard clamping nut. No tools are then required for changing
cutting discs.
NOTE
The Kwik-Lock nut cannot be used with cup wheels, brushes, rubber backing pads, tuck pointing discs (special
discs used for joint repair) or with diamond cup wheels.
2.12 DG EX 125 dust removal hood for grinding
The tool is suitable only for occasional use with diamond cup wheels for grinding mineral materials.
The tool may be used for this application only together with the corresponding DG EX 125 dust removal hood
and VCU 40 / VCD 50 vacuum cleaner.

2.13 Disc guard consisting of guide carriage and DC EX 125 dust removal hood (for cutting and
slitting)
A guide carriage should be used for cutting work.
2.14 DC EX 125-C compact dust removal hood
It is recommended that a dust removal hood and a suitable Hilti vacuum cleaner are used for all cutting and
slitting work on concrete or stone. These serve to protect the operator and increase the life of the tool and disc
used.

5. Safety rules
5.1 General safety rules
WARNING! Read all instructions! Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
5.1.1 Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit . Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Powertoolscreatesparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
5.1.2 Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
theriskofelectricshock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
5.1.3 Personal safety
a) 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
