Hilti TE 60-A36 Original Operating Instructions page 23

▶ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
▶ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Hammer safety warnings
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.3 Additional safety instructions for rotary hammer
Personal safety
▶ Use the product only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Use the auxiliary grips supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves breaking
through. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the accessory
tool might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live
wire, metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear defenders, protective gloves and light respiratory
protection while using the power tool.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ 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 class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of
wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust such as oakwood
and beechwood dust are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for wood
conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Only specialists are permitted to handle material containing
asbestos.
▶ Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. Exposure to
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables, gas pipes and water
pipes. External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you
accidentally damage an electric cable.
