Personal safety
▶ Comply with the country-specific standards and safety instructions for operation of crimping / pressing
tools and all work on, with or in proximity to electrically live equipment and lines.
▶ Persons who work in the vicinity of live lines must receive regular instruction and training.
▶ Use the crimping / pressing tool only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the crimping / pressing tool in any way.
▶ If you notice oil escaping, cease working with the tool and consult Hilti Service. Immediately remove the
leaked oil.
▶ Check that the locking pin is pushed in all the way and securely engaged.
▶ Throughout the crimping / pressing operation, take great care to keep your hands and fingers well clear
of the crimping / pressing head.
▶ Switch the crimping / pressing tool on only after bringing it to the working position.
▶ Be extra-careful when working on lines that are under mechanical tension.
▶ Always hold the crimping / pressing tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided for the purpose.
▶ Before each use, inspect the black coating on the tool head for indications of damage or aging. If you
find such damage, the red coating is visible and/or the crush-hazard or electric-shock hazard symbol is
no longer legible, do not use the crimping / pressing tool and contact Hilti Service.
▶ Do not secure a belt hook to this power tool.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that installed accessories
are secure.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) of the power tool and do not aim the beam at other
persons' faces. Risk of dazzling and you could injure the eyes.
▶ Keep the retaining strap and the tether clean and dry.
Electrical safety
▶ Before use of the crimping / pressing tool, all live cables and other equipment carrying electric voltage
within the area in which the user is working are to be switched off. If this is not possible, the corresponding
safety precautions for working in proximity to electrically live cables or equipment applicable in your
country must be implemented and observed.
▶ Before using the crimping / pressing tool, make sure there are no concealed electric cables or gas or
water pipes in the working area. External, metallic or electrically live parts can give you an electric shock
if you inadvertently damage electric cables or gas or water pipes.
▶ Do not crimp / press live parts, i.e. parts carrying electric voltage. The crimping / pressing tool must
be considered as being uninsulated and must therefore be used in combination with personal protective
equipment (protective gloves, protective footwear, protective clothing, etc.) of a type suitable to provide
protection for yourself and other persons in the vicinity. It is essential to ensure adequate insulation
for working in the vicinity of electrically live lines, for example by the use of solid insulating material or
maintenance of an adequate air gap. Among other uses, the crimping / pressing tool is suitable for use
on electrically insulating aerial lifts or platforms.
▶ In order to use the crimping / pressing tool in the vicinity of electrically live lines, the user must:
▶ take all different potentials (voltages) into account.
▶ make sure that all chosen measures and tools are appropriate for the application.
▶ be trained for working on electrically live lines.
▶ wear fit-for-purpose personal protective equipment.
▶ wear appropriate, close-fitting clothing.
▶ remove metallic lifestyle accessories such as jewelry.
Power tool use and care
▶ After approx. 50 consecutive crimping / pressing operations, switch the power tool off and allow it to
cool down for about 15 minutes. Overheating can lead to damage to the pressing tool.
▶ Store the pressing tool in a dry place inaccessible to children and unauthorized persons.
2.3
Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height
or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
