▶ Avoid awkward postures. Make sure you work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all times.
▶ Wear non-skid shoes.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Never pull the fastener guide or fastener back with your hand.
▶ Under certain circumstances, the product could be made ready to fire by pulling the fastener guide
or the fastener back by hand. When the tool is ready to fire, fasteners or the piston could accidentally
be driven into parts of the body.
▶ Switch the product on only after bringing it to the working position.
▶ Keep your arms slightly bent while operating the product (do not straighten your arms).
▶ Keep other people away from the working area, especially children.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and installed
accessories are secure.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) of the power tool and do not aim the beam at other
persons' faces. Risk of dazzling or eye damage.
Fastening tool use and care
▶ Danger of fasteners penetrating right through! Before driving fasteners, check to make sure that no one
is present behind or below the object into which the fastener is to be driven.
▶ Use the right product for the job. Do not use the product for purposes for which it was not intended. Use
it only as directed and when in faultless condition.
▶ Never leave a loaded product unattended.
▶ Always unload the product (remove fasteners) before cleaning, maintenance, changing the fastener
guide, before work breaks and before storing the product.
▶ When not in use, the product must be unloaded and stored in a locked, dry place where it is inaccessible
to children.
▶ Check the product and its accessories for 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
product. 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, water piping or gas piping behind the
surface into which you want to drive them. External metal parts of the appliance or machine may become
live, for example, when an electric cable is damaged accidentally.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not use the product to work on hazardous materials (e.g. asbestos).
▶ Pull the trigger only when the product is fully pressed against the working surface at right angles.
▶ When driving fasteners, always hold the product at right angles to the working surface in order to prevent
the fastener from being deflected by the material.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Never drop the product.
▶ Do not use the magazine as a grip.
▶ Do not use the product in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion, unless the product is specially
approved for this type of use.
▶ 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 classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a dust mask 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, such as oak and
beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for treating wood
(chromate, wood preservative). Only specialists are permitted to handle material containing asbestos.
