c) Never point the tool toward yourself or other per-
sons.
d) Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your
hand or against any other part of your body (or other
person's hand or part of their body).
e) Keep other persons, especially children, away from
the area in which the work is being carried out.
f) Keep the arms slightly bent while operating the tool
en
(do not straighten the arms).
5.1.2 Use and care of powder-actuated fastening
tools
a) Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for
purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only
as directed and when in faultless condition.
b) Press the tool against the working surface at right
angles.
c) Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
d) Always unload the tool (remove cartridges and fas-
teners) before cleaning, before maintenance, before
work breaks and before storing the tool.
e) When not in use, tools must be unloaded and stored
in a dry place, locked up or out of reach of children.
f) Check the tool or machine and its accessories for
any damage. Guards, safety devices and any slightly
damaged parts must be checked carefully to ensure
that they function faultlessly and as intended. Check
that moving parts function correctly without stick-
ing and that no parts are damaged. All parts must
be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions neces-
sary for correct operation of the tool or machine.
Damaged guards, safety devices and other parts
must be repaired or replaced properly at a Hilti ser-
vice center unless otherwise indicated in the oper-
ating instructions.
g) Pull the trigger only when the tool is fully pressed
against the working surface at right angles.
h) Always hold the tool securely and at right angles to
the working surface when driving in fasteners. This
will help to prevent fasteners being deflected by
the working surface.
i) Never redrive a fastener. This may cause the fas-
tener to break and the tool may jam.
j) Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this
is recommended by Hilti.
k) Always observe the application guidelines.

5.1.3 Work area safety

a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Operate the tool only in well-ventilated working
areas.
c) Do not attempt to drive fasteners into unsuitable
materials: Materials that are too hard, e.g. welded
steel and cast iron. Materials that are too soft, e.g.

Printed: 08.07.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5069855 / 000 / 01
wood and drywall panel (gypsum board). Materials
that are too brittle, e.g. glass and ceramic tiles. Dri-
ving a fastener into these materials may cause the
fastener to break, shatter or to be driven right through.
d) Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials such
as glass, marble, plastic, bronze, brass, copper,
rock, insulation material, hollow brick, ceramic
brick, thin sheet metal (< 3 mm), cast iron or cel-
lular concrete.
e) Before driving fasteners, check that no one is pre-
sent immediately behind or below the working sur-
face.
f) Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause
injury should be removed from the working area.
Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
g) Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
h) Wear non-skid shoes.
i) Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not expose the tool to rain or snow and
do not use it in damp or wet conditions. Do not use
the tool where there is a risk of fire or explosion.

5.1.4 Mechanical hazards

a) Never use worn or damaged pistons and do not tam-
per with or modify the piston.
b) Use only fasteners of a type approved for use with
the tool.

5.1.5 Thermal hazards

a) If the tool has overheated, allow it to cool down. Do
not exceed the recommended fastener driving rate.
b) Always wear gloves if the tool has to be dismantled
for cleaning or maintenance before it has been
allowed to cool down.
c) The tool must be allowed to cool down if the plas-
tic cartridge strip begins to melt.
d) Do not dismantle the tool while it is still hot. If this
cannot be avoided, wear protective gloves when dis-
mantling the tool.
e) Do not exceed the recommended fastener driving rate.
The tool may otherwise overheat.

5.1.6 Danger of explosion

a) Use only cartridges of a type approved for use with
the tool.
