controls do not function faultlessly. If necessary, the tool
should be repaired by Hilti Service.

power settings. Use of the wrong cartridges or use of
excessively high power settings may lead to premature

may be hazardous to your health. Do not inhale dust /
or dirt from cleaning. Keep the dust or dirt away from

8.2.1 Checking the piston, changing the piston /
piston stopper
WARNING
All cartridges must be removed from the tool. All
nails must be removed from the nail magazine or the
fastener guide.
CAUTION
After the tool has been in use, the parts to be handled
may be very hot. It is essential that gloves are worn
if the following maintenance operations have to be
carried out before the tool has been allowed to cool
down.
NOTE
Firing the tool repeatedly without driving a fastener
stresses the piston and piston stopper and causes these
parts to wear. If the piston shows signs of chipping and /
or the synthetic rubber part of the piston stopper is badly
worn, then these parts have reached the end of their life.
NOTE
The condition of the piston and piston stopper must be
checked at regular intervals and at least daily.

fastener magazine or fastener guide requires to be un-
screwed. It is not necessary to remove the piston guide.

magazine).
2. Pull the piston out of the piston guide.
3. Check the piston for damage. If signs of damage

pistons and do not attempt to manipulate or modify
the piston.
4. If the piston has to be replaced, remove the piston
stopper from the fastener guide.
