▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ 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
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
▶ 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.
▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶ 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.
▶ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Additional safety instructions for crimping tools
Personal safety
▶ Use the product only if it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Never carry out crimping work on parts of a gas supply network unless express approval has been given
by the system supplier for use of this tool in conjunction with specially tested and approved fittings.
▶ Check that the locking pin is pushed in all the way and securely engaged.
▶ Take care to ensure that there are no foreign objects (e.g. plaster, grit particles, metal cuttings, etc.) in
the crimping jaws and no parts are damaged. Do not continue to use damaged or distorted crimping
jaws.
▶ Before starting work, check the crimping tool and the NPR PM crimping jaws in accordance with
the instructions. Inadequately tested tools and jaws can lead to substandard crimpings and are a
potential safety risk for the operator. Crimping tools must undergo inspection by Hilti service at the latest
every 15,000 crimping operations and at least once a year. Crimping jaws must undergo servicing by
Hilti service at least once a year.
▶ After crimping, pressure-test the tubing system to ensure that it is free of leaks (resulting from misuse of
the tool, for example).
Electrical safety
▶ Before use of the power tool, all live cables or other items carrying electric voltage within the area in which
the user is working are to be switched off. If this is not possible, the corresponding safety precautions
for working in the proximity of live cables or equipment must be implemented and observed.
▶ Do not crimp live parts. The tool must be considered to be uninsulated and must therefore be used
in conjunction with personal protective equipment (protective gloves, protective footwear, protective
clothing, etc.) of a type suitable to provide protection for yourself and other persons in the vicinity.
Power tool use and care
▶ After approx. 50 consecutive crimping operations, switch the power tool off and allow it to cool down for
about 15 minutes. Overheating can lead to damage to the power tool.
