f) Operate the power tool only as intended and
when it is in faultless condition.
g) Wear protective gloves when changing insert
tools as the insert tools get hot during use.
h) Switch the power tool on only after bringing it
into the working position.
i) Avoid unintentional starting. Never carry the
power tool with your finger on the on/off switch.
Remove the battery from the power tool during
work breaks, before carrying out maintenance,
before changing cutting tools and before trans-
porting the power tool.
j) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such
as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos
must only be treated by specialists. Where the
use of a dust extraction device is possible it
shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust
collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the
type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that
the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials
you want to work with.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.2.3 Special safety instructions for
reciprocating saws
a) Always guide the power tool away from your
body when working with it.
b) Never position your hands ahead of or on the
saw blade.
c) Never cut into unknown materials and keep the
line of cut above and below the workpiece free
of obstacles. If the saw blade strikes an object it
may cause the power tool to kick back.
d) Apply moderate pressure and set the power tool
to a suitable stroke rate when using the pipe‐cut-
ting adapter (accessory), especially when cutting
large‐diameter pipes. This will help to prevent the
power tool overheating.
e) The power tool must be pressed against the
workpiece until the contact shoe makes firm
contact. This helps ensure maximum safety and
good performance.
f) Wear suitable protective clothing to protect you
from hot cuttings.
g) Never use the power tool without the hand guard
fitted.
h) Before beginning the work, check the hazard
classification of the dust that will be produced.
Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an offi-
cially approved protection classification in com-
pliance with locally applicable dust protection
regulations.
i) WARNING! When cutting through pipes, e.g.
when carrying out demolition or installation
work, check to ensure that the pipes no longer
contain liquids and empty them if necessary.
When cutting through pipes, hold the power
tool above the level of the pipe you are cutting
through. The power tool incorporates no protect-
ive measures to prevent ingress of water or damp-
ness. Liquids running out of pipes may cause a
short circuit in the power tool.
j) Do not use the power tool to cut bricks, concrete,
cellular concrete, natural stone or tiles.
k) Do not attempt to cut material thicker than the
specified max. thickness for which the saw is
designed and do not use unsuitable saw blades
(reciprocating saw blades of the wrong size or
not equipped with a ¹⁄₂" connection end).
5.2.4 Battery tool use and care
a) Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li‐ion batteries.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Batteries must not be opened or dismantled,
squashed, heated to temperatures over 100°C
or incinerated. A risk of fire, explosion or in-
jury through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
d) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
