7. Preventive Maintenance

The maintenance schedule required for your tool will
vary with such factors as amount of use, storage con-
ditions, air quality, humidity, and outside temperature.
It is important for each user to establish and maintain a
schedule based upon his usage.
-CAUTION- when cleaning:
Never use grease for the maintenance/lubrication of
parts of the tool. This may lead to malfunctions. Use
only Hilti lubricant spray or a product of comparable
quality.
The residues deposited inside tools contain substances
that may be injurious to your health:
– Do not inhale any dust or dirt while cleaning.
– Keep the dust or dirt away from foodstuffs.
– Wash your hands after cleaning the tool.
7.1 Cleaning
Disassemble the tool monthly and wash away sludge
and dirt with kerosene to keep the tool operating effi-
ciently; be certain to re-lubricate the 0-rings with spe-
cial 0-ring lubricant (Hilti item no 12423) and re-oil the
tool after each clean ing. NEVER use Diesel fuel or flam-
mable cleaning solvents to clean the tool.
7.2 Daily lubrication
Follow the "Lubricate The Tool" instructions under Tool
Set-up and Operation.
