7.2 Operation
WARNING
If the power tool starts without pressing the on/off
switch when the supply cord is plugged back in after
unplugging, the power tool must be brought to Hilti
Service immediately.
WARNING
Unplug the supply cord if the on/off switch is found
to be faulty.
CAUTION
Working on the material may cause it to splinter. Use
eye protection, protective gloves, safety shoes and
a lightweight breathing mask. Flying fragments may
cause injury to the eyes or other parts of the body.
CAUTION
The work generates noise. Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
7.2.1 TPS theft protection system (optional)
NOTE
The power tool may be equipped with the optional
theft protection system. If the power tool is equipped
with this feature, it can be unlocked and made ready
for operation only through use of the corresponding
TPS key.
7.2.1.1 Unlocking the power tool 5
1.
Plug the supply cord into the power outlet. The
yellow theft protection indicator LED flashes. The
power tool is now ready to receive the signal from
the TPS key.
2.
Hold the TPS key or the TPS watch strap buckle
against the lock symbol. The power tool is un-
locked as soon as the yellow theft protection
indicator LED is no longer lit.
NOTE If, for example, the electric supply is
briefly interrupted due to a power failure or dis-
connected when moving to a different workplace,
the power tool remains ready for operation for
approx. 20 minutes. In the event of a longer
interruption, the TPS key must be used again to
unlock the power tool.
7.2.1.2 Activation of the theft protection system
for the power tool
NOTE
Further detailed information on activation and use
of the theft protection system can be found in the
operating instructions for the theft protection system.
7.2.2 Chiseling
7.2.2.1 Working at low temperatures
NOTE
The power tool must reach a minimum operating tem-
perature before the hammering mechanism begins to
operate.
Bring the power tool to the minimum operating tem-
perature by switching it on and allowing it to run and
warm up. Bring the tip of the chisel into contact with
the work surface at regular intervals (approx. every 30
sec.) to check whether the hammering mechanism
has begun to operate. Repeat the procedure if the
hammering mechanism does not begin to operate.
NOTE
As starting is electronically controlled, the power
tool's starting characteristics may be different in cold
conditions.
7.2.2.2 Switching on
1.
Plug the mains plug of the supply cord into the
power outlet.
2.
Press the on / off switch.
7.2.2.3 Adjusting chiseling power 6
Chiseling power can be reduced to approx. 70% by
pressing the power level selector switch. The power
level LED then lights up, indicating reduced power.
NOTE
Chiseling power can be adjusted only when the power
tool is switched on and ready for use. To reselect
full chiseling power, press the chiseling power level
selector switch again. Switching off and then on again
also causes the power tool to return to full chiseling
power.
7.2.2.4 Switching off
1.
Press the on / off switch.
2.
Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet.
