Safety

2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.
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 a 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 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.
• 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 and clothing 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

• 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.

• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

2.2 Safety instructions for cut-off tools

• The guard belonging to the power tool must be securely mounted on the power tool and positioned such that maximum safety is achieved, i.e. the smallest possible segment of the abrasive wheel is exposed toward the person operating the power tool. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps protect the person operating the power tool from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with the wheel.
• Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool. The fact that an accessory can be attached to the power tool does not necessarily mean that it can be used safely.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can disintegrate and fly apart.
• Wheels may be used only for the recommended applications. For example: Do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral abrasive cutting. Lateral forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use an undamaged clamping flange of the correct size and shape for your selected grinding wheel. The correct flange supports the grinding wheel, reducing the risk of wheel breakage.
• Do not use worn-down, originally larger-diameter grinding wheels from larger power tools. Grinding wheels intended for a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and can break.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of the accessory tool must be within the ranges stated for your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessory tools cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• Wheels and flanges must be a perfect fit on the mounting hardware of your power tool. Accessory tools that are not a perfect fit on the mounting hardware of the power tool rotate out of balance, vibrate very severely and can lead to loss of control.
• Do not use damaged wheels. Prior to use, always check the wheels for splintering and cracks. If the power tool or the wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or use an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing a wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum speed for one minute. If a wheel has been damaged it will usually break during this test period.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Wear a face shield, eye protection or safety goggles, as appropriate to the application. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves or workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. Make sure your eyes are protected against the flying debris created by various machining operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtering out dust particles resulting from use of the power tool. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken accessory tool may fly off and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
• Only hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces if carrying out work where the insert tool may come into contact with concealed wiring. Metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in electric shock, if contact is made with a live cable.
• Never lay the power tool down before the accessory tool has come to a complete stop. If the rotating accessory tool is allowed to touch the surface on which you place the power tool, you could lose control of the power tool.
• Never start the power tool while carrying it around. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
• Clean the ventilation slots on the power tool at regular intervals. The motor’s fan draws dust into the housing and a build-up of metallic dust can cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

Kickback and the applicable safety instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a snagged or jammed rotating wheel. Snagging or binding brings the rotating accessory tool to an abrupt stop. This forces an uncontrolled power tool in the direction opposite to the accessory tool’s direction of rotation at the point of binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel entering the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick back. The wheel then skips toward or away from the operator, depending on the wheel’s direction of movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels can also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can be avoided by taking the proper precautions as described below.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to absorb kickback forces.
  Always use the auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback forces or torque reaction during start-up. By adopting suitable precautionary measures the operator can control the kickback and reaction forces.

• Always keep your hand well clear of the rotating accessory tool. Kickback could cause the accessory tool to pass across your hand.

•  Keep clear of the areas in front of and behind the rotating cut-off wheel. Kickback will propel the power tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s direction of rotation at the point of snagging.

• Exercise special care when working at corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory tool to bounce off or jam in the workpiece. The rotating accessory tool has a tendency to jam at corners and sharp edges, or if it bounces off the workpiece. This causes loss of control or kickback.

• Do not use a saw-chain or toothed saw blade and do not use a segmented diamond wheel with slots more than 10 mm wide. Cutting tools of this kind frequently cause kickback or loss of control of the power tool.

• Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make excessively deep cuts. Overstressing the wheel increases loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

• When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
  Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of the wheel binding.

• Do not switch the power tool on again while the accessory tool is in the cut. Let the cut-off wheel reach full speed and carefully re-insert it into the cut. The wheel can bind, walk up or kick back if the power tool is restarted with the wheel in the workpiece.

• Support panels or large workpieces to minimize the risk of wheel bind and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece on both sides of the cut-off wheel, both close to the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece.

• Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. Kickback can occur if the cut-off wheel slices into gas or water pipes, electric wiring or other objects as it plunge-cuts.

2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety

• If work involves break-through, always secure the area on the side opposite where the work is carried out. Pieces of debris could drop out and/or fall down and injure other persons.
• Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
• Do not use the product while standing on ladders (unless you are wearing adequate fall-arrest protective equipment).
•  Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way. Use only spare parts and accessories recommended by Hilti.
• Wear protective gloves when using the power tool and when changing accessory tools.
• Take breaks between working and do relaxation and finger exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
• Do not use the cut-off saw to cut flammable materials such as wood or magnesium, or hazardous materials such as materials containing asbestos.
• Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated. Large quantities of dust in poorly ventilated work zones can be harmful to health. Dust from materials such as paint containing lead, some types of wood and also metal can be harmful to health. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Only specialists are permitted to handle material containing asbestos.
• Cutting into unknown materials can release dust and vapors of unknown chemical composition that can be harmful to health. Before starting work, obtain detailed information about the composition of the material to be cut. You and others in the work zone must always wear dust masks approved for the composition of the material to be cut.
• Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
• working in an area that is well ventilated,
• avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
• directing dust away from the face and body,
• wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
• Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and installed accessories are secure.

Electrical safety

• Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a detector) to ensure that no concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of the power tool can become live, for example if you accidentally damage electric wiring.
• Always clean the power tool and the Li-ion batteries separately; do not use a high-pressure cleaner and do not attempt to spray them clean with a garden hose, for example.
• Always dry cut-off saw and Li-ion battery separately from each other if they are wetted.

Using and handling the power tool

• Always hold the power tool securely with both hands firmly on the defined grips.

• Do not touch rotating parts; rotating accessory tools in particular can lead to injuries if touched.

• Do not switch the power tool on until you are at the workplace and are holding the power tool firmly with both hands.

• Before use, check that the accessory tool has been installed correctly and is secure, then run the power tool under no load for one minute in safe conditions. Switch off the power tool immediately if significant vibration occurs or some other fault is perceived. Under these circumstances, check the entire system to ascertain the cause.

• Do not use the power tool if it starts sharply or jerkily. The electronics might be defective. Have the power tool repaired by Hilti Service.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use the power tool without the guard correctly installed.

• Always adjust the guard to the optimum position to protect yourself from sparks and flying fragments of material.

• Make sure that the water supply does not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 6 bar.

• When it is hot, do not set down the power tool near flammable liquids or surfaces.
  Slits cut in load-bearing walls of buildings or other structures may influence the statics of the structure, especially when steel reinforcing bars or load- bearing components are cut through.

• Consult the responsible structural engineer, architect or person in charge of the building project before beginning the work.

• Guide the power tool carefully and make straight cuts in order to keep the accessory tool from jamming. Do not attempt to make curved cuts.

• Guide the power tool smoothly, without applying lateral pressure to the accessory tool. Always bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece at right angles. Do not attempt to change the line of cut by applying lateral pressure or by bending the accessory tool while cutting is in progress. This could damage the accessory tool and cause it to break.

• Never use the power tool without the spray guard.

Safety for applications with saw trolley

• Do not carry the saw trolley and the product together.
• Fit the filled water tank only after the saw has been mounted on the saw trolley. This precaution enables you to keep the saw trolley from tipping over.
• Remove the filled water tank before transporting the saw trolley or removing the cut-off saw from the saw trolley.
• Do not stand the product and the saw trolley on an inclined surface. Apply the wheel brake when you leave the power tool with saw trolley standing.
• If the throttle cable of the saw trolley sticks, immediately remove the batteries from the power tool.

2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries

Operation

Unless otherwise stated, the descriptions below are applicable for DSH 600-22 and DSH 700-22.
6.1 Cutting techniques
Avoiding kickback
There is a risk of kickback if the cut-off saw comes into contact with the working surface in the area indicated.

• Avoid bringing the cut-off saw into contact with the working surface in the area indicated.
• Always bring the cut-off wheel into contact with the workpiece from above. Allow the cut-off wheel to contact the workpiece only at a point below its rotational axis.
• Take special care when inserting the cut-off wheel in an existing kerf.

Avoiding stalling

CAUTION
Risk of cut-off wheel breakage or kickback. Application of excessive pressure causes distortion of the cut-off wheel. Sticking or stalling of the cut-off wheel increases the probability of kickback or cut-off wheelbreakage.

• Avoid applying excessive pressure when cutting and don’t allow the cut-off wheel to stick and stall.

• Don’t attempt to make an excessively deep cut.

• When cutting a thick workpiece, increase the depth of the kerf in steps. Avoid excessively deep cuts.

• Allow the cut-off saw to reach full speed before starting the cut.

• Bring the cut-off wheel into contact with the workpiece at right angles and below the axis of rotation.

• Ease the cut-off wheel slowly into the workpiece in a back-and-forth movement, without applying excessive pressure.

• Apply moderate pressure, adjusting the rate of advance to suit the material being cut.
  A decrease in the rate of cutting progress may be an indication of blunt/dull (“polished”) diamond segments. The diamond segments can be resharpened by making a few cuts in an abrasive material (Hilti sharpening plate or sand-lime block).

• Guide the cut-off saw smoothly and without applying lateral pressure to the cut-off wheel.

• Always hold the cut-off saw firmly with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• Make sure there is no-one in the working area and, in particular, in the direction in which the cut is to be made. Keep everyone approx. 15 m away from your workplace.

Positioning workpiece

• Support slabs or large workpieces so that the kerf remains open during and after the cutting operation.

6.2 Switching on and off

 The cut-off saw has a transport lock. The transport lock prevents inadvertent starting of the cut-off saw when it is carried with the batteries still inserted.
Comply with the instructions for use of the transport lock in the section headed Transport lock of the cut-off saw

1. Hold the cut-off saw by the grips provided for the purpose.

2. Press and hold down the safety switch.

3. Press the control switch.
   ▶ The cut-off saw runs.

4. To switch the cut-off saw off, release the control switch and the safety switch.

6.3 Working with dust extraction module (accessory) 6
When dry-cutting with a dust extraction module, always wear a dust mask as an additional precaution!
Additionally, comply with and follow the national dust control regulations.

Used in combination with an industrial vacuum cleaner, the dust extraction module reduces the amount of dust created by dry-cutting operations. Use the dust extraction module only for dry-cutting in mineral materials. The severe heat produced by cutting in metals or use for wet cutting will destroy the dust extraction module.
Dust extraction is most effective when the cut-off saw cuts in the pull direction. A residual amount of dust can escape nevertheless, for example when the wheel bites into a fold or edge of a workpiece.

1. Install the dust extraction module (accessory). → page 14

2. Bring the cut-off saw with dust extraction module into contact with the workpiece.
   ▶ The rear edge of the dust extraction module contacts the workpiece.

3. Switch the cut-off saw on. → page 16

4. Ease the cut-off wheel into the workpiece.

5. Execute the cut in accordance with the selected direction of cutting.
   ▶ While cutting is in progress, keep the dust extraction module as close as possible to the workpiece.
