6.2 Care of the lithiumion batteries
▶ Keep the battery clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Clean the outer surfaces of the tool with a slightly damp cloth at regular intervals. Do not use cleaning
agents containing silicone.
▶ To achieve maximum battery lifetime, stop drawing power from the battery as soon as a significant drop
in the performance of the power tool is noticed.
▶ Charge the batteries using the Hilti chargers approved for use with Li-ion batteries.
6.3 Transport and storage
WARNING
Risk of fire! Risk of short circuiting
▶ Never store or transport Liion batteries in loose, bulk form.
CAUTION
Risk of damage Metal chips / cuttings may find their way into the power tool, battery or charger,
thereby presenting a risk of damage or malfunction.
▶ Empty the chip collector and clean the product before putting it away in the toolbox or other
container for storage or transport.
▶ Remove the battery from the product before transport or storage.
▶ Observe the nationally and internationally applicable transport regulations when shipping batteries by
road, rail, sea or air.
Note
Ideally, the battery should be stored in a fully-charged state in a dry place that is as cool as
possible. Storing the battery in places subject to high ambient temperatures (e.g. at a window) has
an adverse effect on battery lifetime 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 still possible to work with this battery. You should, however, soon replace the battery with a
new one.
6.4 Cleaning the safety guard
1. Remove the saw blade before cleaning the safety guard parts.
2. Clean the safety guard parts carefully with a dry brush.

After cleaning or maintenance, check that all safety devices are fitted and that they function faultlessly.
▶ To check the pivoting guard, open the guard fully by moving the guard operating lever.
◁ The pivoting guard must close quickly and completely when the guard operating lever is released.
