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 lectric 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) ower 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.
Battery tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
▶ 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.
▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
▶ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶ 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
warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving or
abrasive cutting-off operations:
▶ This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush,
polisher, carving or cut-off tool. 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.
▶ Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
▶ The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
▶ The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately controlled.
▶ The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
▶ Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be
fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held
and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become
loose and be ejected at high velocity.
▶ Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such
as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
▶ Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or
of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
▶ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
▶ Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The
reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
▶ Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a
small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while
being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
▶ Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control. ▶ After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make
sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of
control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
▶ Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
▶ Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards. ▶ Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
▶ Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding
band, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation. For example,
if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
▶ Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
▶ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
▶ Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
▶ Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting
edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips
are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge
of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this
feed.
▶ When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab
if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off
wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed
cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you
could lose control of the tool.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:
▶ Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for
recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
▶ For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with
an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper
mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
▶ Do not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
▶ Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When
the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
▶ When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 wheel pinching or snagging.
▶ Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
▶ Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
▶ Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:
▶ Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
▶ Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using
them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush.
Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
▶ Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small
particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during
the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
2.3 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.
2.4 Additional safety instructions
▶ When using the product, hold it in such a way that grinding dust, flying
sparks and possible flying fragments of the accessory tool or workpiece cannot
hit you.
▶ When changing the accessory tool, use only neatly fitting and undamaged
wrenches.
▶ Accessory tools must run perfectly round. Do not use accessory tools that
are out of round.
▶ Do not attempt to remove chips or splinters of material while the product is
still running. Switch the product off.
▶ Switch the power tool on only after it is in position at the workpiece.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing accessory tools, because the accessory
tool and the chuck get hot during use.
▶ 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.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a
respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated.
▶ Clean the shank of the accessory tool before inserting it. Make sure that
the shank of the accessory tool is always inserted at least 20 mm into the
collet. After inserting the accessory tool, always securely tighten the
clamping nut. An inadequately secured accessory tool could work loose during
operation and fly away from the product.
