Personal Protective Equipment; Before Use - Hilti UH 700 Mode D'emploi

Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords
present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been used
frequently for work on conductive materials
should be checked at regular intervals at a Hilti
Service Center. Under unfavorable circumstances,
dampness or dust adhering to the surface of
the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA is
recommended.
5.3.4 Work area safety
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Ex-
posure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may
result in damage to the health.
c) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sand-
ing, cutting and drilling contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility or other
reproductive harm; or serious and permanent res-
piratory or other injury. Some examples of these
chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crys-

6 Before use

6.1 Fitting and adjusting the side handle 2
CAUTION
Remove the depth gauge from the side handle and
the insert tool from the chuck in order to avoid injury.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle counterclockwise.
3. CAUTION With the UH 700 it is essential to ensure
that the sleeve is fitted in the grip section of the
side handle.
Slip the side handle (clamping band) over the chuck
and push it onto the collar around the gearing sec-
tion as far as it will go.
talline silica from bricks, concrete and other masonry
products and natural stone, arsenic and chromium
from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce exposure to these
chemicals, the operator and bystanders should
work in a well-ventilated area, work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such as respiratory pro-
tection appropriate for the type of dust generated,
and designed to filter out microscopic particles
and direct dust away from the face and body.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust. Wear protec-
tive clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote absorp-
tion of harmful chemicals.

5.3.5 Personal protective equipment

The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, a hard
hat, ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the machine is in use.
4. CAUTION Check that the ribs on the clamping
band engage in the grooves in the collar around
the gearing section.
CAUTION If the side handle slips in the event of
the drill bit sticking while drilling, check that the
ribs on the side handle clamping band engage
securely with the collar on the power tool.Have
any damaged parts replaced. The side handle
will otherwise be unable to take up the torque
generated by the electric tool.
Pivot the side handle into the desired position (it
engages at a number of set positions).
5. Secure the side handle by turning the grip clockwise.
6.2 Use of extension cords and generators or
transformers
