5 Safety instructions

5.1 Basic information concerning safety
In addition to the information relevant to safety given
in each of the sections of these operating instructions,
the following points must be strictly observed at all
times.

5.1.1 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a direct fastening
tool. Do not use a tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Avoid unfavorable body positions. Make sure you
work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all
times.
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.
5.1.2 Fastening tool use and care
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) Remove the gas can from the tool before trans-
porting the tool.
e) Always unload the tool (remove the gas can and
fasteners) before cleaning, before carrying out
care and maintenance, before work breaks and
before storing the tool.
f) When not in use, tools must be unloaded and
stored in a dry place, locked up or out of reach of
children.
g) Check the tool or machine and its accessories for
damage and ensure that they function faultlessly

and as intended. Check that moving parts function
correctly without sticking and that no parts are
damaged. All parts must be fitted correctly and
fulfill all conditions necessary for correct opera-
tion of the tool. Damaged guards, safety devices
and other parts must be repaired or replaced
properly at a Hilti service center unless otherwise
indicated in the operating instructions.
h) Keep the arms slightly bent while operating the
tool (do not straighten the arms).
i) Pull the trigger only when the tool is pressed
against the working surface at right angles.
Always hold the tool securely and at right angles
j)
to the working surface when driving a fastener.
This will help to prevent fasteners being deflected
by the working surface.
k) Never redrive a fastener. This may cause the
fastener to break and the tool may jam.
l) Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless
this is recommended by Hilti.
m) 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.
wood and drywall panel (gypsum board). Materials
that are too brittle, e.g. glass and ceramic tiles.
Driving a fastener into these materials may cause
the fastener to break, shatter or to be driven right
through.
d) Before driving fasteners, check that no one is
present immediately behind or below the working
surface.
