certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz,
minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary,
wear a respirator 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
are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially
in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood
preservative). Material containing asbestos may be handled only by
specialists.
▶ Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation
in your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can
lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers,
hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric
cables or gas and water pipes. External metal parts of the power tool
can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you accidentally
damage an electric cable.
Careful handling and use of electric tools
▶ Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.
2.4 Battery use and care
▶ Observe the special regulations and instructions applicable to the trans-
port, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them
to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact,
have been dropped from a height or show signs of damage. In this case,
always contact your Hilti Service.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. In this case, place the
product in a non-flammable location, well away from flammable materials,
where it can be kept under observation and allowed to cool down. In this
case, always contact your Hilti Service.
