Application

X-MC-S characters

Sharp characters cut into the surface of the base material to form an impression.

They can be used where the influence of marking on the base material is non- critical

X-MC-LS characters For use in more sensitive applications. With a rounded radius, low-stress characters

deform, rather than cut, the surface of the base material. In this way, their influence

on it is reduced

X-MC-MS characters Mini-stress characters exert even less influence on the base material surface than

low-stress. Like these, they have a rounded, deforming radius, but derive their

mini-stress characteristics from the interrupted dot pattern (only available on special)

sists after carrying out the steps described above. 6. Before use
Have the tool checked and repaired if necessary at a

Hilti repair center

Never attempt to pry a cartridge from the magazine

strip or the tool.

Keep the arms flexed when the tool is fired (do not straighten the arms). Never leave the loaded tool unattended. Always unload the tool before beginning cleaning, servicing or changing parts and before storage. Unused cartridges and tools not presently in use must be stored in a place where they are not exposed to humidity or excessive heat. The tool should be transported and stored in a toolbox that can be locked or secured to prevent use by unauthorized persons.

6.1 Tool inspection Ensure that there is no cartridge strip in the tool. If there is cartridge strip in the tool, remove it by hand from the tool. Check all external parts of the tool for damage at regular intervals and check that all controls operate properly. Do not operate the tool when parts are damaged or when the controls do not operate properly. If necessary, have the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre. Check the piston for wear (see “8. Care and mainte-

en

nance”).

5.7 Temperature Do not disassemble tool when it is hot. Never exceed the recommended maximum fastener driving rate (number of marks per hour). The tool may otherwise overheat. Should the plastic cartridge strip begin to melt, stop using the tool immediately and allow it to cool down.
5.8 Requirements to be met by users The tool is intended for professional use. The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired only by authorised, trained personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. Proceed carefully and do not use the tool if your full attention is not on the job. Stop working with the tool if you feel unwell.

6.2 Changing the marking head 1. Check that no cartridge strip is present in the tool. If
a cartridge strip is found in the tool, pull it upwards and out of the tool by hand. 2. Press the release button on the side of marking head. 3. Unscrew the marking head. 4.

7. Operation
en
CAUTION
The base material may splinter or fragments of the cartridge strip may fly off.
Flying fragments may injure parts of the body or the eyes.
Wear safety goggles and a hard hat (users and bystanders).
CAUTION
The marking is achieved by a cartridge being fired.
Excessive noise may damage the hearing.
Wear ear protection (users and bystanders).
WARNING
The tool could be made ready to fire if pressed against a part of the body (e.g. hand)..
When in the “ready to fire” state, a marking head could be driven into a part of the body.
Never press the marking head of the tool against parts of the body.
WARNING
Under certain circumstances, the tool could be made ready to fire by pulling back the marking head.
When in the “ready to fire” state, a marking head could be driven into a part of the body.
Never pull back the marking head by hand.

a7.a1 Loading the characters The marking head can receive 7 characters 8 mm width or 10 characters 5.6 mm width 1. Insert the characters according to the mark desired.
Locking lever in the unblocked position. 2. Always insert the marking characters in the middle
of the marking head. An equal number of space characters should be inserted on each side of the string of characters. 3. If necessary, compensate an uneven edge distance by using the <> marking character. This helps ensure an even impact. 4. After inserting the desired marking characters, they must be secured by turning the locking lever. 5. The tool and head are now in the ready to operate position.
CAUTION : Use only original space characters as blank space. In emergency, a normal character can be ground off and used. Do not insert marking characters upside-down. This results in shorter life length of the impact extractor and reduces the marking quality
a7.a2 Inserting the cartridge strip Load the cartridge strip (narrow end first) by inserting it into the bottom of the tool grip until flush. If the strip has been partly used, pull it through until an unused cartridge is in the chamber. (The last visible number on the back of the cartridge strip indicates which cartridge is next to be fired.)
a7.a3 Adjusting the driving power Select a cartridge power level and power setting to suit the application. If you cannot estimate this on the basis of previous experience, always begin with the lowest power. 1. Press the release button. 2. Turn the power regulation wheel to 1. 3. Fire the tool. 4. If the mark is not clear enough (i.e. not deep enough),
increase the power setting by turning the power regulation wheel. If necessary, use a more powerful cartridge.
a7.a4 Marking with the tool 1. Press the tool firmly against the work surface at right
angle. 2. Fire the tool by pulling the trigger
WARNING Never press the marking head with the palm of your hand. This is an accident hazard. Never exceed the maximum fastener driving rate.
