prox. 90° as the chisel penetrates.

8.4 Cleaning or replacing the dust shield
Clean the dust shield on the chuck with a dry, clean
cloth at regular intervals. Clean the sealing lip by wiping it
carefully and then grease it again lightly with Hilti grease.
It is essential that the dust shield is replaced if the sealing
lip is found to be damaged. Push the tip of a screwdriver
under the edge of the dust shield and prise it out toward
the front. Clean the area of the chuck in contact with dust
shield and then fit a new dust shield. Press it in firmly
until it engages.

7.3.5 Chiseling depth 11
The polygon chisel design ensures that material is broken
up even when the chisel penetrates to great depths.
7.3.6 Contact pressure
If inadequate pressure is applied, the chisel will jump
around uncontrollably.
Application of excessive pressure will result in a loss of
chiseling performance.
The outer casing of the power tool is made from impact-
resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a
synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation slots
are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the power tool. Clean the outside of the power
tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do
not use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or
running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the power tool.

Blinking red light
Wait approx. 1 minute to allow dissipation of residual
voltage before dismantling the power tool and removing
the electronics unit.
Check all external parts of the power tool for damage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the power tool if parts are
damaged or when the controls do not function faultlessly.
Have the appliance repaired by Hilti Service.
8.6 Checking the power tool after care and
maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance work on the
power tool, check that all protective and safety devices
are fitted and that they function faultlessly.
