en
DANGER
Use only the Hilti batteries and Hilti chargers listed
under "Accessories".
6.2.1 Charging a new battery for the first time
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first time.
6.2.2 Charging a previously used battery
Ensure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean
and dry before inserting it in the corresponding charger.
For information about the charging process, read the
operating instructions for the charger and section 2.10
Charge status of the Li-ion battery in these operating
instructions.
Li-ion batteries are ready for use at any time, even when
only partly charged. Charging progress is indicated by
the LED display (see charger operating instructions).
6.3 Fitting the battery 2
CAUTION
Before fitting the battery, check that the power tool
is switched off and that the safety lock is engaged
(forward/reverse switch in the middle position). Use
only the Hilti batteries approved for use with this
power tool.
1. Push the battery into the power tool from the rear
until it is heard to engage with a double click.

7 Operation

CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both hands
so that the resulting opposing force causes the slip clutch
to release in the event of the drill bit sticking. Use clamps
or a vice to hold the workpiece securely.

rear.
6.5 Transport and storage of battery packs
Pull the battery pack out of the locked position (working
position) and move it into the first click-stop position
(transport position).
If you disconnect a battery pack from the power tool
for transport or storage, make sure that the contacts of
the battery pack are not short-circuited. Remove loose
metal parts such as screws, nails, clamps, loose screw
bits, wires or metal swarf from the case, toolbox or
transport container, or prevent these parts from coming
into contact with the battery packs.
Observe national and international transport regulations
when shipping battery packs (transportation by road, rail,
sea or air).

order to avoid injury.
4. Slide the side handle clamping band over the chuck
and onto the shaft.
5. Pivot the side handle into the desired position.
6. Fit the depth gauge and secure the side handle in
the desired position by turning the grip firmly until
tight.
