2. Description

• The tool is intended for use in the construction indus-
try and associated trades for driving fasteners into
steel.
• The tool is for stand up use only.
• Modification of the tool is not permissible.
en
• The tool may not be used in an explosive or flamma-
ble atmosphere unless it has been approved for use
under these conditions.
• To avoid the risk of injury use only genuine Hilti fas-
teners, cartridges, accessories and spare parts or those
of equivalent quality.
• Observe the information printed in the operating instruc-
tions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
• The tool and its ancillary equipment may present haz-
ards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or
when used not as directed.
• The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired only
by trained personnel. This personnel must be informed
of any special hazards that may be encountered.
• As with all powder-actuated fastening tools, the tool,
magazine, cartridges and fasteners form a technical
unit. This means that trouble-free fastening with this
system can be assured only if the Hilti fasteners and
cartridges specially manufactured for it, or products
of equivalent quality, are used. The fastening and appli-
cation recommendations given by Hilti apply only when
these conditions are observed.
• For optimum results and maximum reliability we rec-
ommend use of Hilti cartridges or products of equiv-
alent quality.
• The following also applies in EU and EFTA countries:
For maximum safety with this tool, the cartridges must
comply with the requirements of the applicable C.I.P.
tests (source: Comprehensive edition of adopted C.I.P.
decisions, Liège, Belgium, 2005) as well as the car-
tridge tests described at www.hilti.com/cartridgetest.
• The tool features a 5-way safety system for the safety
of the user and all bystanders.
2.2 Piston principle
The energy from the propellant charge is transferred to
a piston, the accelerated mass of which drives the fas-
tener into the base material. Due to use of this piston
principle, the tool is classified as a low velocity tool.

Approximately 95 % of the kinetic energy is taken up by
the piston when the tool is fired. As the piston is always
stopped as it reaches the end of its travel, excess energy
is absorbed by the tool. Accordingly, when the tool is
used correctly, dangerous through-shots with a fastener
exit velocity in excess of 100 m/sec therefore become
virtually impossible.
2.3 Drop-firing safety device
The drop-firing safety device is the result of coupling
the firing mechanism with the cocking movement. This
prevents the tool from firing when dropped onto a hard
surface, no matter at which angle the impact occurs.
2.4 Trigger safety device
The trigger safety device ensures that a fastener cannot
be driven simply by pulling the trigger only. The tool
must be pressed against a firm surface before a fastener
can be released.
2.5 Contact pressure safety device
The tool can be fired only when pressed fully against a
firm surface with a force of at least 50 N.
2.6 Unintentional firing safety device
The tools is also equipped with an unintentional firing
safety device. This prevents the tool from firing if the
trigger is first pulled and the tool then pressed against
the work surface. The tool can be fired only when it is
first pressed correctly against the work surface and the
trigger subsequently pulled.
