Procedure If A Cartridge Fails To Fire - Hilti DX 36 Manual De Instrucciones

CAUTION
The fastener driving action is initiated by ignition
of a propellant charge. The user of the tool and
other persons in the immediate vicinity must wear
ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
WARNING
Never make the tool ready to fire by pressing it against
a part of the body (e.g. the hand). This could cause a
nail or the piston to be driven into a part of the body.
Never press the tool against a part of the body.
WARNING
Never redrive a fastener. This may cause the
fastener to break and the tool may jam.
WARNING
Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this
is recommended by Hilti (e.g. DX Kwik).
CAUTION
Do not exceed the recommended fastener driving
rate (number of fasteners driven per hour).

8.1 Procedure if a cartridge fails to fire

If a cartridge fails to fire or misfires, always proceed
as follows:
Keep the nose of the tool pressed at right angles
against the working surface for 30 seconds.
If the cartridge still fails to fire, withdraw the tool from
the working surface, taking care to avoid pointing it
toward your body or toward bystanders.
Load the next cartridge on the strip by cycling the
tool. Use up the remaining cartridges on the strip and
remove the used cartridge strip from the tool. The
(partly) used cartridge strip must then be disposed of
appropriately to prevent further use or misuse of any
unfired cartridges.
8.2 Loading the tool 3
1. Push the nail, head first, into the nose of the tool
from the front until it is held in place in the tool
by the washer on the nail.
2. Push the cartridge strip, narrow end first, into
the grip of the tool from below until the full length
of the cartridge strip is inside the grip.
3. If you wish to use a partly-used cartridge strip,
pull the strip upwards by hand out of the tool
slightly until the first unused cartridge is in place
in the cartridge chamber.

8.3 Setting the power level 4
1. Select a cartridge power level and power setting
to suit the application.
2. If you cannot estimate this on the basis of pre-
vious experience, always begin with the lowest
power. Select a cartridge of the lowest power
level (color code) and turn the power regulating
wheel to 1.
3. Drive a nail.
If the nail doesn't penetrate deeply enough, in-
crease the driving power by turning the power
regulating wheel. If necessary, use a more
powerful cartridge.
8.4 Driving a fastener 5
DANGER
Always observe the safety rules listed in the oper-
ating instructions.
1. Press the tool against the working surface at
right angles.
2. Drive the fastener by pulling the trigger.
8.5 Cycling the tool 6
NOTE
If the cycling action is stiff (i.e. pulling out, pushing
back in), this indicates that the tool needs to be
cleaned. Service the tool! (see section 9.3).
1. After driving a fastener, grip the collar at the nose
of the tool between the thumb and forefinger.
2. Pull the nose unit forward in the main axis of the
tool as far as it will go.
3. Then move the nose unit all the way back to its
original position.
This movement brings the piston back to its
starting position and advances the cartridge strip
to the next cartridge.
The tool is then ready to drive the next fastener.
8.6 Unloading the tool 7
Check that there is no cartridge strip or fastener in
the tool.
If there is a cartridge strip or fastener in the tool, pull
the cartridge strip up out of the tool by hand from
above and remove the fastener from the fastener
guide.
