the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
en
b) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing
your hands and exercising your fingers during breaks
between working.

on only after bringing it into position at the workpiece.
Touching rotating parts, especially rotating insert tools, may
lead to injury.
d) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch in the
middle position) before storing or transporting the power
tool.
e) The power tool is not intended for use by children, by debil-
itated persons or those who have received no instruction
or training.
f) Children must be instructed not to play with the power tool.
g) Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood
species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with
or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and
beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood
conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material contain-
ing asbestos must only be treated by specialists. Where the
use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a suitable
vacuum cleaner of the type recommended by Hilti for wood
dust and/or mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure
that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a dust
mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work with.
5.4.2 Electric tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the
workpiece. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by
hand and both hands remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible with the
chuck system and that they are secured in the chuck
correctly.
c) Large and heavy insert tools must only be operated in first
gear. There is otherwise a risk that the tool will be damaged
when it is switched off or, under unfavorable conditions, the
chuck might be detached.
5.4.3 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or fire. This
presents a risk of explosion.
c) 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.
d) Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may cause a short
circuit resulting in a risk of burning injury or fire.
e) Use only batteries that are approved for use with the
applicable tool or appliance. Use of unapproved batteries or
use of the batteries for areas of application for which they are
not approved presents a risk of fire and explosion.
f) Observe the special instructions applicable to the trans-
port, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Check that the terminals
on the battery and in the power tool are free from foreign
objects before inserting the battery in the power tool. Short
circuiting the battery terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion
and chemical burns.
h) 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).
i) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the fastener may contact hid-
