▶ Do not use the fastening tool where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
▶ Take influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not expose the fastening tool to rain or snow
and do not use it in damp or wet conditions.
▶ Use the fastening tool only in well-ventilated working areas.
▶ Select the correct combination of fastener guide and fastener. The wrong combination may result in
damage to the tool and in reduced fastening quality.
▶ Do not overload the tool. Use the correct tool for the job. The correct tool will do the job better and more
safely within the performance range for which it is designed.
▶ Always observe the application guidelines.
Hazards presented by electricity
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present.
▶ Hold the fastening tool only by the insulated grip when working in areas where fasteners may be driven
inadvertently into concealed electric cables. Contact with a live electric cable may cause metal parts of
the fastening tool also to become live, leading to a risk of electric shock.
▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, stoves and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Use and care of battery-powered tools
▶ Avoid accidental starting. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that are already switched on invites accidents.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, the direct heat of the sun, and keep them away
from fire. There is a risk of explosion.
▶ Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C. This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances.
▶ Avoid ingress of moisture. Ingress of moisture may cause a short circuit, resulting in burning injuries or
fire.
▶ Use only batteries of the type approved for use with the applicable tool. Use of other batteries or
use of the batteries for purposes for which they are not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
▶ Remove the battery from the tool before transport or storage.
▶ When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
small metal objects that could cause bridging between the terminals. A short circuit between the
battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
▶ Do not attempt to charge or continue to use damaged batteries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken
parts, bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
▶ A battery that is too hot to touch may be defective. Allow the battery to cool down in a place where there
is no risk of causing a fire. Check that there are no flammable materials nearby. Contact Hilti Service.
▶ Misuse can result in liquid escaping from the battery. Avoid contact with the liquid. If contact accidentally
occurs, rinse with water. Seek medical attention if the liquid comes into contact with the eyes. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause skin irritation or burns.
Instructions for handling the propellant gas
▶ Observe the safety instructions printed on the gas can and in the accompanying information.
▶ The gas is highly flammable. Keep the gas can away from open flames and other sources of ignition.
▶ Escaping gas is harmful to the lungs, skin and eyes and can cause cold injuries and burns. Keep your
face and eyes away from the metering valve and the gas can compartment for up to approximately 10
seconds after removing the gas can.
▶ Never attempt to remove or manually operate the metering valve of a gas can that has been prepared
for use or is in use. Considerable quantities of pressurized liquefied gas could escape, endangering you
and other persons.
▶ If a person has inhaled gas, take the person into the open air or into a well-ventilated area and place the
person in a comfortable position. Consult a physician if necessary.
▶ Call a doctor if the person is unconscious. Bring the person into a well-ventilated area and place the
person in the stable recovery position (i.e. lying on the side). If the person is not breathing, administer
artificial respiration and, if necessary, supply oxygen.
▶ After eye contact with gas, rinse the open eyes thoroughly under running water for several minutes.
▶ After skin contact with gas, wash the contact area carefully with soap and warm water. Subsequently
apply a skin cream.
