you are working beforehand (e.g. using a metal
detector). External metal parts of the tool or machine
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally.
k) Only hold the tool by its insulated gripping sur-
faces if carrying out work where the insert tool
may come into contact with concealed wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
5.1.5 Thermal hazards
a) If the tool overheats, remove the gas can and
allow the tool to cool down. Do not exceed the
recommended fastener driving rate.
b) Always wear gloves if the tool has to be dis-
mantled for cleaning or maintenance before it
has been allowed to cool down.
5.1.6 Gases
a) Liquid gas under pressure: The gas is extremely flam-
mable (contains: 1-butene, propene). Observe the
hazard warnings and first-aid instructions printed
on the gas can and in the instructions for use.
Refilling the gas can is not permissible.
b) Do not use damaged gas cans.
c) Do not attempt to force the gas can open. Do not
incinerate or crush the can and do not attempt to
reuse it for any other purpose.
d) Never spray the gas toward persons or other living
beings.
e) Keep the gas away from all sources of ignition
such as naked flames, sparks, pilot lights, static
discharge and very warm surfaces.
f)
Do not smoke while using the tool.
5.1.6.1 Storage
a) Do not store gas cans in inhabited rooms or in
rooms connected to inhabited rooms.
b) Store the gas cans in a dry, well-ventilated place.
c) Store the gas cans out of reach of children.
d) Do not expose gas cans to direct sunlight or
temperatures above 50°C (122°F).
e) Recommended storage temperature: 5°C to 25°C
(41°F to 77°F).
5.1.6.2 First aid
Read the material safety data sheet for information
about use, care and maintenance and first-aid meas-
ures.
a) Direct skin contact with the liquid gas may cause
frostbite or a serious freezing injury similar to a
burn.
b) In case of inhalation of the gas: The person af-
fected should be taken into the open air and
brought into a comfortable position.
c) In case of unconsciousness: Bring the person af-
fected into a secure recovery position. Should the
person stop breathing, apply artificial respiration
and supply oxygen if necessary.
d) In case of gas contact with the eyes: Rinse the
open eyes under running water for one minute.
e) In case of gas contact with the skin: Wash the
contact surface carefully with warm water and
soap. Subsequently apply a skin cream.
f)
Consult a doctor if necessary.
5.1.7 Protective device
Never use the tool if the applicable safety devices
have been damaged or removed.
5.1.8 Battery use and care
a) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable tool or appliance. Use
of other batteries or use of the battery for purposes
for which it is not intended presents a risk of fire and
explosion.
b) Only charge the batteries in chargers recommen-
ded by the manufacturer. The use of a charger with
batteries other than the specific type(s) for which it is
designed poses a risk of fire.
c) If used improperly, liquid can leak from the bat-
tery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
d) Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
e) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury through con-
tact with caustic substances may otherwise result.
f)
When not in use, keep the battery and the charger
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could cause a
short circuit at the battery terminals or the char-
ging contacts. A short circuit at the battery terminals
or charging contacts could result in personal injury
(burns) or fire.
g) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
h) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
i)
If the battery gets too hot to touch, this may indicate
that it is faulty. Place the tool in a location where
it can be kept under observation, well away from
flammable materials, and allow it to cool down.
Contact Hilti Service after the battery has been
allowed to cool.
