Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the pow-
er tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust col-
lection can reduce dust-related hazards.
1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's oper-
ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.

2 Additional safety precautions
2.1 Personal safety
a) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasten-
ers contacting a 'live' wire may make exposed met-
al parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the
operator an electric shock.
b) Wear ear protection. Excessive noise may lead to a
loss of hearing.
c)To avoid tripping and falling when working, always
lead the sypply cord, extension cord and dust extrac-
tion hose away tho the rear.
d) The tool is not intended for use by children, by debil-
itated persons or those who have received no instruc-
tion or training.
e) Children must be instructed not to play with the tool.
f) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be harm-
ful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are clas-
sified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust
especially in conjunction with additives for wood con-
ditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material
containing asbestos must only be treated by spe-
cialists. Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used. To achieve a high level of
dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of
the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that the
workplace is well ventilated. The use of a dust mask
of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work
with.
2.2 Power tool use and care
a) In the event of a power faillure, switch the tool off
and unplug the supply cord. This prevents inadver-
tent starting when the power returns.
2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. with a metal detector) to ensure that no con-
cealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are
present. External metal parts of the tool may become
live if, for example, an electric cable is damaged
inadvertenly. This presents a serious risk of elec-
tric shock.
b) Check the condition of the supply cord and its plug
connections and have it replaced by a qualified
electrician if damage is found. Check the condi-
tion of the extension cord and replace it if dam-
age is found. Do not touch the supply in the event
of it suffering damage while working. Disconnect
the supply cord plug from the socket . Damaged
supply cords and extension cords present a risk of
electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty electric tools should thus be checked
at a Hilti service center at regular intervals, espe-
