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 insert tools
en
Clean off dirt and dust deposits adhering to the insert tools and protect
them from corrosion by wiping the insert tools from time to time with an
oil-soaked rag.
8.2 Care of the appliance
Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the appliance. Clean
the outside of the appliance at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth.
Do not use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or running water
for cleaning. This will negatively affect the electrical safety of the appliance.
Always keep the grip surfaces of the appliance free from oil and grease. Do
not use cleaning agents which contain silicone.
8.3 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 performance 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.
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 negative 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
