Additional safety instructions for torquing threaded fasteners
Personal safety
▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Always hold the tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and light respiratory
protection while using the power tool.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in cuts and
burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of
wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases among operators 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). Only specialists are permitted to handle material containing asbestos.
▶ Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. Exposure to
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may give you an electric shock if you damage an electric cable
accidentally.
▶ Have the supply cord and plug checked by a trained electrical specialist and replaced if necessary.
▶ If the power tool's supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with a specially-prepared and approved
supply cord available from Hilti Customer Service.
Power tool use and care
▶ Immediately switch off the power tool if the accessory tool jams. The power tool might twist off-line.
▶ Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.
