5 Safety instructions
The safety rules in section 5.1 contain all general safety
rules for power tools which, in accordance with the
applicable standards, require to be listed in the operating
instructions. Accordingly, some of the rules listed may
not be relevant to this tool.
5.1 General power tool safety warnings
a)
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and 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.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1.1Workareasafety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing 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. Un-
modified 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 condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
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
theriskofelectricshock.
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.
f) 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.
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 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.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off‐position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, 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.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
5.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) 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 opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
5.2 Additional safety rules
5.2.1 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-
teries and do not subject them to temperatures
over 80°C (176°F). A risk of fire, explosion or in-
jury through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
d) Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may cause
a short circuit resulting in a risk of burning injury or
fire.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable tool or appliance. Use
of other batteries or use of the battery for purposes
for which it is not intended presents a risk of fire and
explosion.
f) Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Avoid short-circuiting the battery.Before inserting
the battery in the tool or appliance, check that the
terminals of the battery and the tool or appliance are
free from foreign objects. Short-circuiting the battery
terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion or contact
with caustic substances.
h) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
i) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
j) If the battery gets too hot to touch, this may indicate
that it is faulty. Place the tool in a location where
it can be kept under observation, well away from
flammable materials, and allow it to cool down.
Contact Hilti Service after the battery has been
allowedtocool.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) The tool may be operated only when in faultless
condition.
b) Use only foil pack holders of a type approved for
use with the tool.
c) Do not use damaged foil pack holders or damaged
foil packs.
d) The tool, the cradle for the foil pack holders,
the piston rods with pressure pieces and the foil
pack holders must be clean and free from foreign
matter.
e) Remove the battery before storing or transporting
the tool.
5.2.3 Work area safety
a) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
b) Children must be instructed not to play with the
appliance.
c) This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
5.2.4 Personal protective equipment
a) Wear personal protective equipment while the
tool is in use: closely fitting protective glasses
or face shield, protective gloves and protective
clothing. Wearing personal protective equipment re-
duces the risk of injury.

7.11 Reading the charge status LED display on
Li‑ion batteries
NOTE
Thechargestatuscannotbeindicatedwhilethetool
is in operation. LED 1 blinks when the battery is fully
discharged or when it is too hot (temperature above 80°C
(176°F)). The battery must then be inserted in the charger.
The Li-ion battery features a charge status LED display.
The charge status is indicated by the LEDs on the battery
during charging (please refer to the operating instructions
for the charger). When the battery is not in use, pressing
one of the battery release buttons or inserting the battery
into the tool causes the battery charge status to be
displayed by the four LEDs for three seconds.
7.12 Transport and storage
1. Set the dispensing mode selector switch to the “off”
position before transporting or storing the tool.
2. Remove the battery from the tool before transport
and storage.

8 Care and maintenance
CAUTION
Before beginning cleaning, remove the battery from
the power tool or appliance in order to prevent unin-
tentional starting.
8.1 Care of the tool
CAUTION
Keep the appliance, especially its grip surfaces, clean
and free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning
agents which contain silicone.
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 running water for cleaning. This
may negatively affect the electrical safety of the tool.
Use a cloth to remove any mortar adhering to the tool and
foil pack holder as soon as possible, before it hardens.
Hardened mortar can be removed only by mechanical
means. Take care to ensure that the tool is not damaged
by cleaning. Never dip or soak the tool or its parts in
solvents.
Lubricate the piston rods with oil when necessary. Check
that the pistons move freely in the foil pack holder.
8.2 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 using the
battery as soon as a significant drop in performance is
noticed.
NOTE
If use of the power tool or appliance continues, battery
discharge is stopped automatically (indicated by LED 1
blinking) 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, irrespective of
battery charge status, without any 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 storing 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.
8.3 Maintenance
WARNING
Repairs to the electrical section of the appliance may
be carried out only by trained electrical specialists.
Check all external parts of the appliance for damage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the appliance if parts are
damaged or when the controls do not function faultlessly.
If necessary, the appliance should be repaired by Hilti
Service.
8.4 Checking the tool after care and maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance, check that mov-
ing parts function faultlessly, that no parts are sticking,
broken or damaged and that the tool operates faultlessly.
