Hilti DX 5 Manual De Instrucciones página 12

▶ Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
▶ Transport and store the tool in a secured toolbox.
▶ Always unload the tool (remove cartridges and fasteners) before cleaning, maintenance, changing the
fastener guide, before work breaks and before storing the tool.
▶ When not in use, the tool should be unloaded and stored in a locked, dry place where it is inaccessible
to children.
▶ Check the tool and the accessories for any damage. Check that moving parts function faultlessly, without
sticking, and that no parts are damaged.
▶ All parts must be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary for correct operation of the tool.
Damaged parts must be properly repaired or replaced by Hilti Service unless otherwise stated in the
operating instructions.
▶ Before driving fasteners, check that there is no electrical wiring behind the surface into which you want
to drive them.
▶ Do not attempt to drive fasteners into unsuitable materials.
▶ Unsuitable materials include welded steel and cast steel, cast iron, glass, marble, plastic, bronze,
brass, copper, insulating material, hollow brick, ceramic brick, thin sheet metal (< 4 mm) and cellular
concrete. Driving a fastener into these materials may cause the fastener to break, shatter or to be
driven right through.
▶ Pull the trigger only when the tool is fully pressed against the working surface at right angles.
▶ When driving fasteners, always hold the fastening tool at right angles to the working surface in order to
prevent the fastener being deflected by the surface.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Do not use the tool in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion unless the tool is specially approved
for this type of use.
▶ Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this is recommended by Hilti (e.g. DX-Kwik).
Workstation
▶ Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the working area.
▶ Untidiness in the working area can lead to accidents.
▶ Make sure that the working area is well lit and well ventilated.
Mechanical safety rules
▶ Do not tamper with or modify the tool or parts of it, especially the piston.
▶ Use only fasteners of a type approved for use with the tool.
Thermal safety rules
▶ Do not exceed the recommended maximum fastener driving rate.
▶ If the tool has overheated, allow it to cool down.
▶ Do not dismantle the tool while it is hot. Allow the tool to cool down.
▶ Allow the tool to cool down if the plastic cartridge strip begins to melt.
Risk of explosion with cartridges
▶ Use only cartridges of a type approved for use with the tool.
▶ Remove the cartridge strip from the tool when you have completed the work or before transporting the
tool.
▶ Never attempt to forcibly remove cartridges from the magazine strip or tool.
▶ Store unused cartridges in a secure place where they are not exposed to dampness or excessively high
temperatures.
