c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cut-
ting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accor-
dance with these instructions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the pow-
er tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
1.5 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 hear-
ing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
c) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
d) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool is
used without a dust removal system for work that
creates dust.
e) To avoid tripping and falling when working, always
lead the sypply cord, extension cord and dust extrac-
tion hose away tho the rear.
f) The tool is not intended for use by children, by debil-
itated persons or those who have received no instruc-
tion or training.
g)Children must be instructed not to play with the tool.
h) 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 aller-
gic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the oper-
ator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classi-
fied as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust espe-
cially in conjunction with additives for wood condi-
tioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material con-
taining asbestos must only be treated by specialists.

Where the use of a dust extraction device is possi-
ble it shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust
collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the type
recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or miner-
al dust together with this tool. Ensure that the work-
place is well ventilated. The use of a dust mask of
filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work with.
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 .
c) In the event of a power faillure, switch the tool off
and unplug the supply cord. This prevents inadver-
tent starting when the power returns.

2.3 Electrical safety

a) Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g.
with a metal detector) to ensure that no concealed
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.
b) Check the condition of the supply cord and its plug
connections and have it replaced by a qualified elec-
trician if damage is found. Check the condition of
the extension cord and replace it if damage is found.
Do not touch the supply in the event of it suffering
damage while working. Disconnect the supply cord
plug from the socket . Damaged supply cords and
extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty electric tools should thus be checked
at a Hilti service center at regular intervals, espe-
cially if used frequently for working on conductive
materials. Dust (especially dust from conductive
materials) or dampness adhering to the surface of
the tool may, under unfavorable conditions, present
a 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, ear protection and protective
gloves when the tool is in use. Breathing protection must
be worn if no dust removal system is used.
