▶
When chiseling into ceilings, walls and floors, always make sure that you have a safe and firm
stance. A sudden break-through can affect your balance!
▶
Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves
breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down causing injury to other
persons.
▶
You and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear
protection, protective gloves and respiratory protection while the tool is in use.
▶
Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result
in cuts and burns.
▶
Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶
Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural
stone and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and
chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of
the operator and bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked.
Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a
dust collection system or by the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures
for reducing exposure include:
▶
working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶
avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶
directing dust away from the face and body,
▶
wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶
Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
High vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous
system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶
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.
Power tool use and care
▶
Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶
Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it down.
Careful handling and use of batteries
▶
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶
Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80
°C (176 °F).
▶
Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a
height or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
▶
If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. Put the battery in a place where it is clearly
visible and where there is no risk of fire, at an adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow
the battery to cool down. If it is still too hot to touch after an hour, the battery is faulty. Contact
Hilti Service.
