Hilti DX 6 Manual De Instrucciones página 28

▶ Before driving fasteners, check that there is no electrical wiring, water piping or gas piping behind the
surface into which you want to drive them. For detailed information, request a copy of the 'Direct
Fastening Technology Manual' and the 'Technical Guide' from the local Hilti Store.
▶ Before driving fasteners, check behind the object to make sure that no-one is present in line with the
fasteners to be driven. Danger of fasteners penetrating right through!
▶ Make sure that the nosepiece of the fastening tool is never pointed toward yourself or other persons.
▶ Always use the splinter guard (accessory) for tasks that can produce flying splinters.
▶ Hold the fastening tool only by the grip surfaces provided for the purpose.
▶ Keep the grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Pull the trigger only when the fastening tool is at right angles to and pressed fully against the work
surface.
▶ Before starting work, check the selected energy setting.
▶ Carry out a test by driving 2 fasteners into the base material you are working on → page 28.
▶ When driving fasteners, always hold the fastening tool at right angles to the work surface. This reduces
the risk of a fastener being deflected by the base material.
▶ Do not drive fasteners into existing holes unless this is recommended by Hilti (e.g. DX-Kwik).
▶ Do not re-use a fastener that was used beforehand - risk of injury! Use a new fastener.
▶ Do not attempt to re-drive a fastener that was not driven in deeply enough! The fastener could break.
▶ Never leave a loaded fastening tool unattended.
▶ Always unload the fastening tool (remove cartridges and fasteners) before cleaning, maintenance,
changing the fastener guide, before work breaks and before storing the tool.
▶ Transport and store the fastening tool in the Hilti case intended for the purpose.
▶ Store fastening tools that are not in use in a dry, secure place where they are inaccessible to children.
▶ Always position the nosepiece of the fastening tool on smooth, flat surfaces free of obstructions and fully
supported by the sub-structure.
▶ Comply with the specifications for edge distances and center-to-center distances (see the section
headed 'Minimum distances and edge distances → page 25').
Thermal safety rules
▶ Do not exceed the maximum fastener driving rate recommended in the section headed "Technical data".
▶ If the fastening tool overheats or if the cartridge strip deforms or melts, remove the cartridge strip and
allow the fastening tool to cool down.
▶ Do not dismantle the fastening tool while it is hot. Allow the fastening tool to cool down.
Risk of explosion with cartridges
▶ Use only cartridges that are suitable and approved for use with the fastening tool.
▶ Remove the cartridge strip when you are going to take a break and when you have finished the job, and
before you transport the fastening tool.
▶ Do not use force to remove fasteners and/or cartridges from the magazine strip or the fastening tool.
▶ Store unused cartridges in accordance with the storage specifications for PAT cartridges (e.g. dry,
temperature between 5 °C and 25 °C) in a locked storage facility. Follow the instructions for storage in
the safety data sheet of the cartridges.
▶ Do not leave unused or partly used cartridge strips lying around. Collect the used cartridge strips and
store the cartridge strips at a suitable location (see also 'Storage of unused cartridges').
