6.1
Tool inspection
● Ensure that there is no cartridge strip in the tool. If
there is a cartridge strip in the tool, remove it by hand
from the tool.
● Check all external parts of the tool for damage at reg-
ular intervals and check that all controls operate prop-
erly. Do not operate the tool when parts are damaged or
when the controls do not operate properly. If necessary,
have the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre.
● Check the buffer and piston for wear (see "8. Care
and maintenance").
6.2 Choosing the right fastener guide / piston / fas-
tener combination
Use of the wrong combination may present a risk of
injury. Damage to the tool may also result or fastening
quality may be negatively affected (see table on last page
of these instructions).
