▶ Adapt forward pressure to the saw blade and the material being cut. In this way you prevent the saw
blade from stalling and possibly causing kickback.
▶ Avoid overheating the tips of the saw blade teeth.
▶ The rated speed of the accessory tool must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can disintegrate and fly apart.
▶ Do not work in an environment heavily contaminated with dust.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ You and all others in the work area must always wear dust masks appropriate to the requirements of the
application.
▶ You and all others in the work area must wear suitable eye protection, hard hat, ear protection, protective
gloves and safety footwear while the power tool is in use.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Comply with national health and safety requirements.
▶ Use clamps or some other practical means to secure the workpiece and keep it in a stable position.
Attempting to stabilize the workpiece by hand or with your body is inadequate and can result in loss of
control. Do not have the workpiece held in position by a helper.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles. The power tool can kick back if the saw blade comes into contact with an obstructing object.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that installed accessories
are secure.
▶ When sawing in combination with a dust extractor, avoid touching the dust hood or the suction hose.
When a material that produces dust in large quantities is worked, there can be an elevated risk of
electrostatic shock.
▶ Make sure that the path of the saw is free of obstructions such as nails, screws and other metal objects.
▶ Use only saw blades recommended by Hilti that comply with the EN 847-1 standard.
▶ When cutting plastic, make sure that the workpiece does not become too hot and melt.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a detector) to ensure that no concealed
electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of the power tool can become
live, for example if you accidentally damage electric wiring. This causes an increased risk of electric
shock.
2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use of Li-ion batteries.
Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of fluids that are extremely
harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
▶ Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been damaged in any other way. Check
your batteries regularly for signs of damage.
▶ Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶ Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
