Check all external parts of the tool for damage and
check that all controls operate faultlessly. Do not
operate the tool when parts are damaged or when the
controls do not function correctly. If necessary, have
the tool repaired at an authorized Hilti service center.
Check the piston and piston brake for wear and ensure
that the parts have been fitted correctly.
