Remember before starting
to work
When working with the machine, it must
be held two hands. Always make sure that
you have a safe stance / foothold.
1. The electric supply must be the same as
given on the TE25 nameplate.
2. The TE25 is double insulated and must
not, therefore, be grounded (earthed).
3. Applying excessive pressure will not in-
crease the TE25's performance. Just posi-
tion the bit and guide it into the hole.
4. Check that you have set the right speed.
Please refer to the enclosed safety pre-
cautions.
Clean the drill bit: The chucks is not in-
corporated in the lubricating system of the
TE 25. Drill bit connection ends must there-
fore be cleaned regularly and sprayed spar-
ingly with Hilti lubricant.
Shorten the start-up time at low tem-
pertures by jolting the drill bit briefly against
the work surface when starting the TE 25.

Operation
Fig. 1: Insertion of TE-T-drill bit/tool
Insert connection end in any position, turn
it until the grooves engage and it can be in-
serted further.
Pull back sleeve (1) and push tool as far as
it will go. Release sleeve (1).
To remove tool, pull back sleeve (1) and
take out tool.
Fig. 2: Rotary hammer drilling
To hammer drill into concrete, masonry
and stone, shift setting lever to indicated
rotary hammer drilling position (symbol
).
Fig. 3: Rotary drilling only
Shift setting lever to indicated rotary drilling
only position (symbol
). At this set-
ting, only the rotary action is transmitted
to the drill bit.
Fig. 4: Changing the chuck
Turn sleeve (1) to right (symbol ( )) and
take off complete chuck. When attaching
chuck, press on until it touches striker. Turn
sleeve (1) to left (symbol ( )) and lock.
Always make sure the chuck is locked prop-
erly.
Fig. 5: Selecting the correct speed
If the wrong speed is selected, the life of
the TE25 and drill bit/tool will be shortened.
Select the correct speed, as shown in the
following table: 1 = low r.p.m., 2 = high
r.p.m.
Don't change speeds while the TE 25 is
under load.

Rotary drilling:
The TE25 can also be used for rotary drilling
using an additonal quick-release chuck
from Hilti. Change procedure: a) put quick-
release chuck onto striker; b) turn chuck
until it snaps into the double spline; c) lock
as shown by photo 4.
Servicing:
Electric tools comply with respective safe-
ty regulations. Servicing must, therefore,
be carried out only by qualified electrical
specialists. For your safety, only use orig-
inal Hilti spare parts.
Disposal
Most of the materials from
which Hilti power tools are man-
ufactured can be recycled. The
materials must be correctly separated
before they can be recycled. In many
countries, Hilti has already made arrange-
ments for taking back your old electric
tools for recycling. Please ask your Hilti
customer service department or Hilti
sales representative for further informa-
tion.
Only for EU countries
Disposal of electric tools together with
household waste is not permissible!
In observance of European Directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment and its implementation
in accordance with national law, electric
tools that have reached the end of their
life must be collected separately and
returned to an environmentally compati-
ble recycling facility.
