Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti SSH 6­A22 Manual De Usario

Battery tool use and care
▶ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
▶ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
▶ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Battery use and care
▶ Observe the special regulations and instructions applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion
batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height
or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. In this case, place the product in a non-flammable
location, well away from flammable materials, where it can be kept under observation and allowed to
cool down. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.

Additional safety instructions

Personal safety
▶ Wear protective gloves. The cut edges and metal swarf are sharp-edged and there is a risk of cut injuries.
The product and the workpiece become hot in the working process and there is a risk of burn injuries.
▶ Touch the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only, when carrying out work in which the
accessory tool can come into contact with concealed wiring.
▶ Take breaks between working and do relaxation and finger exercises to improve the blood circulation in
your fingers.
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Electrical safety
▶ Have dirtied or dusty power tools that are used frequently for working on conductive materials checked
at regular intervals by Hilti Service. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or dampness on the
surface of the power tool can, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock.
▶ Clean the ventilation slots on the power tool at regular intervals. The motor's fan draws dust into the
housing and a build-up of metallic dust can cause electrical hazards.
▶ 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. External metal parts of the machine can become live,
for example if you inadvertently damage electric wiring.
▶ Do not attempt to cut workpieces that could be electrically live.
