Fastening tool use and care
▶ Danger of fasteners penetrating right through! Before driving fasteners, check to make sure that no one
is present behind or below the object into which the fastener is to be driven.
▶ Use the right product for the job. Do not use the product for purposes for which it was not intended. Use
it only as directed and when in faultless condition.
▶ Never leave a loaded product unattended.
▶ Always unload the product (remove fasteners) before cleaning, maintenance, changing the fastener
guide, before work breaks and before storing the product.
▶ When not in use, the product must be unloaded and stored in a locked, dry place where it is inaccessible
to children.
▶ Check the product and its accessories for damage. Check that moving parts function faultlessly, without
sticking, and that no parts are damaged.
▶ All parts must be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary for correct operation of the
product. Damaged parts must be properly repaired or replaced by Hilti Service unless otherwise
stated in the operating instructions.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you
accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
▶ Do not attempt to drive fasteners into unsuitable materials.
▶ Unsuitable materials include welded steel and cast steel, cast iron, glass, marble, plastic, bronze,
brass, copper, insulating material, hollow brick, ceramic brick, thin sheet metal (< 4 mm) and cellular
concrete. Driving a fastener into these materials may cause the fastener to break, shatter or to be
driven right through.
▶ Pull the trigger only when the product is fully pressed against the working surface at right angles.
▶ When driving fasteners, always hold the product at right angles to the working surface in order to prevent
the fastener from being deflected by the material.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Never drop the product.
▶ Do not use the magazine as a grip.
▶ Do not use the product in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion, unless the product is specially
approved for this type of use.
▶ Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this is recommended by Hilti (e.g. DX-Kwik).
Mechanical safety rules
▶ Do not tamper with or modify the product or accessories, especially the piston.
▶ Use only fasteners of a type approved for use with the product.
Thermal safety rules
▶ Do not exceed the recommended maximum fastener driving rate.
▶ If the product has overheated, allow it to cool down.
▶ Do not dismantle the product while it is hot. Allow the product to cool down.

Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use of Li-ion batteries.
Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of fluids that are extremely
harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
▶ Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been damaged in any other way. Check
your batteries regularly for signs of damage.
▶ Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶ Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
▶ Never expose batteries to the direct rays of the sun, elevated temperature, sparking, or open flame. This
can lead to explosions.
▶ Do not touch the battery poles with your fingers, tools, jewelry, or other electrically conductive objects.
This can damage the battery and also cause material damage and personal injury.
