Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti TE 6-A36 Mode D'emploi

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
f)
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejec-
ted from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
5.2 Hammer safety warnings
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.

5.3 Additional safety instructions

5.3.1 Personal safety
a) Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
b) Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
c) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.

d) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotat-
ing insert tools, may lead to injury.
e) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch
in the middle position) before storing or trans-
porting the power tool.
f) When restarting after the electronic overload pro-
tection system has switched the tool off, care
must be taken to ensure that the power tool is held
securely with both hands on the grips provided.
g) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
h) The power tool is not intended for use by children,
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
i) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech
dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood
conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material
containing asbestos must only be treated by special-
ists. Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used. To achieve a high level
of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner
of the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust
and/or mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure
that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Fol-
low national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
5.3.2 Electric tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to
secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.3.3 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b) Observe the special guidelines applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
c) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and
keep them away from fire. This presents a risk of
explosion.
d) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C. This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances.
e) Use only batteries of the type approved for use
with the applicable power tool. Use of unapproved
