4 Safety instructions

In addition to the information relevant to safety given
in each of the sections of these operating instructions,
the following points must be strictly observed at all
times.

4.1 General safety instructions

a) Do not render safety devices ineffective and do
not remove information and warning notices.
b) Use of the appliance is not permissible if the plug
pins are bent or damaged (do not use force when
plugging in).
c) Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not expose the appliance to rain or
snow and do not use it in damp or wet conditions.
Do not use the appliance where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
d) Use the supply cord only for connecting to the
mains supply.
e) Store appliances, when not in use, in a secure place.
When not in use, appliances must be stored in a dry,
high place or locked away out of reach of children.
f) Use the right appliance for the job. Do not use the
appliance for purposes for which it was not inten-
ded. Use it only as directed and when in faultless
condition.
g) Paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
small metal objects that could short-circuit the
electrical contacts must be kept away from bat-
teries that are not in use and away from battery
chargers. Short-circuiting the contacts on a battery
or charger may cause burning injuries or start a fire.
h) This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
i) Children must be instructed not to play with the
appliance.
Make sure that the batteries suffer no mechanical
j)
damage.
k) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
4.2 Proper organization of the work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
c) Check to ensure that the appliance and supply
cord do not present an obstacle that could lead
to a risk of tripping and personal injury.

d) Put the appliance in a secure place before begin-
ning charging.
4.3 Electrical
a) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
b) Check the appliance's supply cord at regular in-
tervals and have it replaced by a qualified special-
ist if found to be damaged. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if damage is
found. Do not touch the supply cord or extension
cord if they are damaged while working. Discon-
nect the supply cord plug from the power outlet.
Damaged supply cords present a risk of electric
shock.
c) Check to ensure that the appliance and all cords
are in good condition. Do not operate the appli-
ance or its accessories if damage is found, if the
appliance is incomplete or if its controls cannot
be operated faultlessly.
d) Have the appliance repaired only at a Hilti service
center.
e) Do not use the supply cord for purposes for which
it is not intended. Never carry the appliance by the
supply cord. Never pull the plug out of the power
outlet by pulling the supply cord.
f) Do not expose the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp
edges.
g) Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or
wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive mater-
ials) or dampness adhering to the surface of the
appliance may, under unfavorable conditions, lead
to electric shock. Dirty or dusty appliances should
thus be checked at a Hilti service center at regular
intervals, especially if used frequently for working on
conductive materials.
h) Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. A
short circuit may present a fire hazard.
i) Avoid touching the contacts.
j) Do not use batteries other than those approved for
use with the applicable tool or appliance. Use of other
batteries or use of the battery for purposes for which
it is not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.
