Before Use; Fitting The Side Handle; Use Of Extension Cords - Hilti TE16 Manual De Instrucciones

6. Before use

6.1 Fitting the side handle

1. Unplug the tool from the mains socket.
2. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle in a counter-clockwise direction.
3. Fit the side handle clamping band over the chuck
and onto the cylindrical section at the front end of
the tool.
4. Pivot the side handle into the desired position.
5. Tighten the side handle securely to prevent inad-
vertent movement.

6.2 Use of extension cords

Use only extension cords of a type approved for the
application and with conductors of adequate cross sec-
tion. Failure to observe this point may cause the tool
to lose power and the extension cord may overheat.
Check the extension cord for damage at regular inter-
vals. Replace damaged extension cords.
Recommended minimum conductor cross section and
max. extension cord lengths:
Mains voltage Conductor cross section
1.5 mm 2 2.0 mm
100 V – 30 m
110–120 V 20 m 30 m
220–240 V 50 m –
Do not use extension cords with 1.25 mm
tions.
Use of extension cords outdoors
When working outdoors use only extension cords that
are correspondingly marked and approved for outdoor
use.

6.3 Use of a generator or transformer
This tool may be powered by a generator or transformer
which fulfils the following conditions:
– AC voltage, output power at least 2600 W.
– The operating voltage must be within +5 % and
–15 % of the rated voltage at all times.
– Frequency range 50–60 Hz, never above 65 Hz.
– Automatic voltage regulation with starting boost.
Never operate other tools or appliances from the gen-
erator or transformer at the same time. Switching other
tools or appliances on and off may cause undervolt-
age and/or overvoltage peaks, resulting in damage to
the electric tool.
