Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use
▶
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with
locally applicable dust protection regulations.
Comply with national health and safety requirements.
▶
Use clamps or some other practical means to secure the workpiece and keep it in a stable position.
▶
Attempting to stabilize the workpiece by hand or with your body is inadequate and can result in
loss of control. Do not have the workpiece held in position by a helper.
Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) incorporated in the power tool and do not direct
▶
the light at other persons' faces.
Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that installed
▶
accessories are secure.
Make sure that the path of the saw is free of obstructions such as nails, screws and other metal
▶
objects.
Use only saw blades recommended by Hilti that comply with the EN 847-1 standard.
▶
When cutting plastic, make sure that the workpiece does not become too hot and melt.
▶
Electrical safety
Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a detector) to ensure that no concealed
▶
electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of the power tool can
become live, for example if you accidentally damage electric wiring. This causes an increased risk
of electric shock.
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.
Keep batteries away from rain, moisture and liquids. Penetrating moisture can cause short circuits,
▶
electric shock, burns, fire and explosions.
Use only chargers and power tools approved for the specific battery type. Read and follow the
▶
relevant operating instructions.
Do not use or store the battery in explosive environments.
