▶ If the fastening tool overheats, remove the gas can and allow the tool to cool down. Do not exceed the
specified maximum fastener driving rate.
▶ Driving fasteners may cause flying fragments or result in parts of the nail strip material being forcibly
ejected from the tool. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes. Wear eye
protection, ear protection and a hard hat. Depending on the application and type of fastening tool in
use, wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety footwear, hard hat and
ear protection reduces the risk of injury. Other persons in the vicinity must also wear eye protection and
a hard hat.
▶ Wear suitable ear protection ( see noise information in the technical data section). Fasteners are driven
through ignition of a gas/air mixture. The resulting noise exposure may cause damage to the hearing.
Other persons in the vicinity should also wear suitable hearing protection.
▶ When driving a fastener, always hold the fastening tool securely and at right angles to the supporting
material. This helps to avoid deflection of the fastener by the supporting material.
▶ Never drive a second fastener at the same location. This may lead to breakage or jamming of fasteners.
▶ Always remove the gas can ( → page 21) and battery ( → page 20) and empty the magazine ( → page 21)
before changing the magazine or before cleaning, servicing or maintenance work on the tool, before
storage or transport and before leaving the fastening tool unattended.
▶ To ensure that the fastening tool functions faultlessly and as intended, always check the tool and
accessories for possible damage before use. Check that moving parts function faultlessly, without
sticking, and that no parts are damaged. In order to ensure faultless operation of the fastening tool, all
parts must be fitted correctly and must meet the necessary requirements. Damaged protective devices
or other parts must be properly repaired or replaced by Hilti Service unless otherwise stated in the
operating instructions.
▶ Have the fastening tool repaired only by trained and qualified specialists using genuine Hilti spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the fastening tool is maintained.
▶ Tampering with or modification of the fastening tool is not permissible.
▶ Do not use the fastening tool where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
▶ Take influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not expose the fastening tool to rain or snow
and do not use it in damp or wet conditions.
▶ Use the fastening tool only in well-ventilated working areas.
▶ Select the correct combination of fastener guide and fastener. The wrong combination may result in
damage to the tool and in reduced fastening quality.
▶ Always observe the application guidelines .
Hazards presented by electricity
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present.
▶ Hold the fastening tool only by the insulated grip when working in areas where fasteners may be driven
inadvertently into concealed electric cables. Contact with a live electric cable may cause metal parts of
the fastening tool also to become live, leading to a risk of electric shock.
Use and care of battery-powered tools
▶ Check that the tool is switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into an electric
tool that is switched on can lead to accidents.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, the direct heat of the sun, and keep them away
from fire. There is a risk of explosion.
▶ Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C. This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances.
▶ Avoid ingress of moisture. Ingress of moisture may cause a short circuit, resulting in burning injuries or
fire.
▶ Use only batteries of the type approved for use with the applicable tool. Use of other batteries or
use of the batteries for purposes for which they are not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
▶ Remove the battery from the tool before transport or storage.
▶ Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Check that the contacts on the battery and on the tool
are free from foreign objects before inserting the battery into the tool. Short circuiting the battery
terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion and chemical burns.
▶ Do not continue to use or attempt to charge damaged batteries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken
parts, bent or pushed-in / pulled-out contacts).
▶ A battery that is too hot to hold may be defective. Allow the battery to cool down in a place where there
is no risk of causing a fire. Check that there are no flammable materials nearby. Contact Hilti Service.
