repeat this procedure until the hammering mechanism
begins to operate.
7.2.2 Forward / reverse
NOTE
The forward / reverse switch is used to select the direction
of rotation of the drive spindle. An interlock prevents
switching while the motor is running. The control switch
is locked when the forward / reverse switch is in the
middle position.
For forward rotation, push the forward / reverse switch
on the side of the power tool toward the chuck in the
direction of the arrow.
For reverse rotation, push the forward / reverse switch on
the side of the power tool toward the grip in the direction
of the arrow.
Bring the forward / reverse switch into the desired posi-
tion.
7.2.3 Drilling without hammering 10
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the "forward"
position before beginning drilling.
2. Turn the function selector switch until it engages in
the "Drilling without hammering" position. Do not
operate the function selector switch while the motor
is running.
3. Bring the side handle into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
4. Fit the battery.
5. Position the power tool and drill bit at the point
where the hole is to be drilled.
6. Press the control switch slowly (drill at a low speed
until the drill bit centers itself in the hole).
7. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling with
full power.
8. Adjust the pressure applied to the power tool ac-
cording to the material you are working on. This will
ensure the optimum rate of drilling progress.

8 Care and maintenance

CAUTION
Before beginning cleaning, remove the battery in or-
der to prevent the electric tool starting unintentionally.
8.1 Care of insert tools
Check that the connection end of the insert tool is clean
and lightly greased. Clean it and grease it if necessary.
8.2 Care of the power tool
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces,
clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use clean-
ing agents which contain silicone.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation slots
are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
7.2.4 Hammer drilling 11
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the "forward"
position before beginning drilling.
2. Turn the function selector switch until it engages in
the "Hammer drilling" position. Do not operate the
function selector switch while the motor is running.
3. Bring the side handle into the desired position and
check that it is fitted correctly and secured.
4. Fit the battery.
5. Position the power tool and drill bit at the point
where the hole is to be drilled.
6. Press the control switch slowly (drill at a low speed
until the drill bit centers itself in the hole).
7. Press the control switch fully to continue drilling with
full power.
8. Adjust the pressure applied to the power tool ac-
cording to the material you are working on. This will
ensure the optimum rate of drilling progress.
9. Reduce drilling speed shortly before breaking
through in order to avoid spalling.
7.2.5 Reading the charge state LED display on
Li‑ion batteries 12
NOTE
The charge state cannot be indicated while the power
tool is in operation. Indication is given (LED 1 blinks)
when the battery is fully discharged or when it is too hot.
The battery must then be inserted in the charger. If all 4
LEDs blink, this indicates that the power tool has been
overloaded or has overheated.
The Li-ion battery features a state of charge LED display.
The charge state is indicated by the LEDs on the battery
during charging (please refer to the operating instructions
for the charger). When the battery is not in use, pressing
one of the battery release buttons or inserting the battery
into the power tool causes the battery charge state to be
displayed by the four LEDs for three seconds.
See section: 2.9 Li‑ion battery charge state
interior of the power tool. Clean the outside of the power
tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do
not use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or
running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the power tool.
8.3 Cleaning or replacing the dust shield
Clean the dust shield on the chuck with a dry, clean
cloth at regular intervals. Clean the sealing lip by wiping it
carefully and then grease it again lightly with Hilti grease.
It is essential that the dust shield is replaced if the sealing
lip is found to be damaged. Push the tip of a screwdriver
under the edge of the dust shield and prise it out toward
the front. Clean the area of the chuck in contact with dust
shield and then fit a new dust shield. Press it in firmly
until it engages.
