Safety

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.
  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).
  Battery use and care

• Observe the special regulations and instructions applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.

• Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.

• Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.

• Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact,
  have been dropped from a height or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.

• If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. In this case, place the product in a non-flammable location, well away from flammable materials,

where it can be kept under observation and allowed to cool down. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
