outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords
present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been used
frequently for work on conductive materials
should be checked at regular intervals at a Hilti
Service Center. Under unfavorable circumstances,
dampness or dust adhering to the surface of
the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD
residual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.

5.6.4 Work area

a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Ex-
posure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may
result in damage to the health.

6 Before use

DANGER
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
WARNING
Never use the power tool without the guard.

6.1 Fitting the side handle

WARNING
The side handle must be fitted for all types of work.
The side handle may be screwed onto the power tool on
the right or left.
6.2 Guard
CAUTION
Wear gloves when fitting or removing parts, when
making adjustments or when remedying malfunc-
tions.
CAUTION
Adjust the position of the guard to suit the require-
ments of the work being done.
c) If the work involves breaking right through, take
the appropriate safety measures at the opposite
side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall
down and injure other persons.
d) Slits cut in loadbearing walls of buildings or other
structures may influence the statics of the structure,
especially when steel reinforcing bars or load-bearing
components are cut through. Consult the structural
engineer, architect, or person in charge of the
building project before beginning the work.

5.6.5 Personal protective equipment

The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protec-
tion, protective gloves and breathing protection while
the tool is in use.
CAUTION
The closed side of the guard must always face the
operator.
6.2.1 Fitting and removing the guard or guard with
cover plate 3
NOTE
The guard is already set to the correct tension by way
of the adjusting screw. If the tension is too low when
the guard is fitted, the adjusting screw can be tightened
slightly to increase the tension.
NOTE
The keyed locating lug on the guard ensures that only
a guard designed for use with the power tool can be
fitted. The keyed locating lug also prevents the guard
from coming into contact with the disc.
1. Release the clamping lever.
2. Fit the guard onto the spindle collar so that the
keyed locating lug engages in the recess provided.
3. Rotate the guard to the required position.
CAUTION The closed side of the guard must
4.
always face the operator.
Secure the guard by closing the clamping lever.
5. To remove the guard from the power tool, follow the
instructions for fitting the guard but carry out the
steps in the reverse order.
