Care And Maintenance - Hilti HIT-ED 3500-A Manual De Instrucciones

The Li-ion battery features a charge status LED dis-
play. The charge status is indicated by the LEDs on the
battery during charging (please refer to the operating
instructions for the charger). When the battery is not
in use, pressing one of the battery release buttons
or inserting the battery into the power tool causes

8. Care and maintenance

CAUTION
Before beginning cleaning, remove the battery from
the power tool or appliance in order to prevent
unintentional starting.
8.1 Care of the tool
CAUTION
Keep the appliance, especially its grip surfaces,
clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use
cleaning agents which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the tool is made from impact-
resistant plastic.
Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior
of the tool. Clean the outside of the tool at regular
intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use a
spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or running
water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the tool.
Oil the piston rods at regular intervals. Mortar adher-
ing to the tool or the foil pack holder must be cleaned
off with a cloth before it hardens. Hardened mortar
can be removed only by mechanical means. Take care
to ensure that the tool is not damaged by cleaning.
Check that the piston moves freely in the foil pack
holder.
8.2 Care of the Li-ion battery
Avoid entrance of moisture.
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first
time.
In order to achieve maximum battery life, stop using
the battery as soon as a significant drop in perform-
ance is noticed.
NOTE
If use of the power tool or appliance continues, battery
discharge is stopped automatically (indicated by LED
1 blinking) before the battery cells suffer damage.

the battery charge status to be displayed by the four
LEDs for three seconds.
7.8 Transport and storage 11
1. The selector switch should be in the "off" position
during transport and storage.
2. Remove the battery from the tool before transport
and storage.
Charge the battery with the Hilti charger approved for
use with Li-ion batteries.
NOTE
- A conditioning charge (as is required with NiCd or
NiMH batteries) is not necessary.
- Interruption of the charging procedure has no neg-
ative effect on battery life.
- Charging can be started at any time, irrespective of
battery charge status, without any negative effect on
battery life. There is no memory effect (as with NiCd
or NiMH batteries).
- For best results, batteries should be stored fully
charged in a cool dry place. Avoid storing the battery
in places subject to high ambient temperatures (e.g.
at a window) as this has an adverse effect on battery
life and increases the rate of self-discharge.
- If the battery no longer reaches full charge, it may
have lost capacity due to aging or overstressing. It
is possible to continue working with a battery in this
condition but it should be replaced in good time.
8.3 Maintenance
WARNING
Repairs to the electrical section of the appliance
may be carried out only by trained electrical spe-
cialists.
Check all external parts of the appliance for damage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the appliance if parts
are damaged or when the controls do not function
faultlessly. If necessary, the appliance should be
repaired by Hilti Service.
