especially dust from conductive materials, may lead
to damage to the tool.
2.7.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
a) Observe the special guidelines applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
en
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and
keep them away from fire. This presents a risk of
explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C (176°F). This presents a risk of fire, explosion
or injury through contact with caustic substances.
d) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
3 Description
3.1 Use of the product as directed
The power tool is designed for cutting, grinding and brushing metals and mineral materials.
Do not use the battery as a power source for other unspecified appliances.
Working with metals: Only using synthetic resin-bonded, fiber-reinforced grinding or cutting discs.
Working with mineral materials: Cutting and slitting using the corresponding guard (DC-EX 125/5"-C), grinding using
the corresponding guard (DG-EX 125/5").
The power tool may be used only for dry cutting or grinding.
It is recommended that a dust removal system consisting of matched components, i.e. dust removal hood and a
suitable Hilti vacuum cleaner, are used for working on mineral materials such as concrete or stone. These serve to
protect the operator and increase the life of the power tool and disc used.
Working on materials hazardous to the health (e.g. asbestos) is not permissible.
Observe the national health and safety requirements.
To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and insert tools.
The power tool is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained,
authorized personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The power
tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not
as directed.

e) If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective.
Place the tool in a location where it can be kept
under observation, well away from flammable ma-
terials, and allow it to cool down. Contact Hilti
Service after the battery has cooled down.
2.7.5 Work area safety
a) If the work involves breaking right through, take
the appropriate safety measures at the opposite
side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall
down and injure other persons.
b) Slits cut in loadbearing walls of buildings or other
structures may influence the statics of the structure,
especially when steel reinforcing bars or load-bearing
components are cut through. Consult the structural
engineer, architect, or person in charge of the
building project before beginning the work.
