1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
2 Additional safety precautions
2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
c) Always hold the tool securely with both hands on
the grips provided. Keep the grips clean, dry and
free from oil and grease.
d) Adjust the side handle to the desired position and
check that it is fitted and secured correctly.
e) Avoid contact with rotating parts. Switch the tool
on only once it has been brought into the work-
ing position close to the workpiece.
f) Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool
with your finger on the on/off switch. The forwards
/ reverse / transport lock switch should be brought
into the transport lock position (middle position)
when the tool is not in use, e.g. during pauses
between work, before maintenance, when chang-
ing insert tools and during transport.
g) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool
is used without a dust removal system for work
that creates dust.
h) Operate the tool only as directed and only when
it is in faultless condition.
i) Exercise your fingers during pauses between work
to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
j) Children must be instructed not to play with the
appliance.
k) The appliance is not intended for use by children,
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
l) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator 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 must only be treated
by specialists. Where the use of a dust extraction
device is possible it shall be used. To achieve a
high level of dust collection, use a suitable vac-
uum cleaner of the type recommended by Hilti for
wood dust and/or mineral dust together with this
tool. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilat-
ed. The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended. Follow national requirements for
the materials you want to work with.
m) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the workpiece in place. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the tool.
b) Ensure that the insert tools used are equipped with
the appropriate connection end system and that
they are properly fitted and secured in the chuck.
2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. with a metal detector) to ensure that no con-
cealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are
present. External metal parts of the tool may become
live if, for example, an electric cable is damaged
inadvertenly. This presents a serious risk of electric
shock.
2.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.Poor-
ly ventilated workplaces may be injurious to the
health due to exposeure to dust.
2.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection
and protective gloves when the tool is in use. Breath-
ing protection must be worn if no dust removal sys-
tem is used.

2.6 Battery tool use and care
a)Ensure that the outer surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting the battery in the appro-
priate charger for charging.
b)Check that the battery is securely attached to the
tool. A falling battery could injure you or other per-
sons.
c)Batteries that have reached the end of their life
must be disposed of safely (see „Disposal").
d)Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
e)Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or fire
(danger of explosion).
f) Batteries must not be opened or dismantled, squashed,
heated to temperatures over 100°C or incinerated.
Failure to observe this point may result in fire, explo-
sion or injury through contact with caustic sub-
stances.
