NOTE
When you grip the tool with your other hand, care
must be taken to ensure that this hand does not cover
any ventilation slots or openings.
WARNING
The material may splinter or fragments of the
magazine strip may fly off when the fastener is
driven. The user of the tool and other persons in the
immediate vicinity must wear protective glasses
and a hard hat. Splintering material presents a risk
of injury to the eyes and body.
CAUTION
The fastener driving action is initiated by ignition
of a propellant charge. The user of the tool and
other persons in the immediate vicinity must wear
ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
WARNING
Making the tool ready to fire by pressing it against a
part of the body (e.g. the hand) should never be done.
This could cause a nail or the piston to be driven into
a part of the body. Never press the tool against a
part of the body.
CAUTION
Never redrive a fastener. This may cause the
fastener to break and the tool may jam.
CAUTION
Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this
is recommended by Hilti.
CAUTION
If the tool has overheated, allow it to cool down. Do
not exceed the recommended fastener driving rate.

7.1 Operation
Fastening guidelines: These guidelines must be ob-
served at all times.
NOTE
For detailed information, please ask your local Hilti
representative for a copy of the applicable technical
guidelines or national technical regulations.
7.2 Procedure if a cartridge fails to fire
If a cartridge fails to fire or misfires, always proceed
as follows:
Keep the nose of the tool pressed at right angles
against the working surface for 30 seconds.
If the cartridge still fails to fire, lift the tool away from
the working surface, taking care to avoid pointing it
at yourself or other persons.
Load the next cartridge on the strip by cycling the
tool. Use up the remaining cartridges on the strip and
remove the used cartridge strip from the tool. The
(partly) used cartridge strip must then be disposed of
suitably in order to prevent further use or misuse of
any unfired cartridges.
7.2.1 Loading fastener strips in the magazine 2
Push the fastener strip into the magazine from above
until the washer of the final fastener engages in the
magazine.
7.2.2 Selecting the cartridge 3
1. Determine the thickness of the material to be
fastened and the grade of the supporting steel.

please refer to the applicable approvals or the
Hilti Fastening Technology Manual.
