Operation - Hilti TE 6-A36 Operating Instructions Manual

For information about charging, read the operating in-
structions for the battery charger and section 2.10 "Li-ion

Li-ion batteries are ready for use at any time, even when
only partly charged. Charging progress is indicated by
the LED display (see charger operating instructions).
6.3 Fitting the battery 2
CAUTION
Before fitting the battery, check that the power tool
is switched off and that the safety lock is engaged
(forward/reverse switch in the middle position).
1. Push the battery into the power tool from the rear
until it is heard to engage with a double click.

7 Operation

CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both
hands so that the resulting opposing force causes
the slip clutch to release in the event of the drill bit
sticking. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece
securely.
7.1 Preparing for use
7.1.1 Fitting the insert tool 5
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when changing the insert tool.
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the middle posi-
tion or remove the battery from the power tool.
2. Check that the connection end of the insert tool is
clean and lightly greased. Clean it and grease it if
necessary.
3. Check that the sealing lip of the dust shield is clean
and in good condition. Clean the dust shield if ne-
cessary or replace it if the sealing lip is found to be
damaged (please refer to the "Care and mainten-
ance" section).
2. Pull the battery out of the power tool toward the
rear.
6.5 Transport and storage of batteries
Pull the battery out of the locked position (working posi-
tion) and move it into the first latching position (transport
position).

when shipping batteries (transportation by road, rail, sea
or air).
6.6 Fitting the side handle 4
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the middle posi-
tion or remove the battery from the power tool.
2. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle counterclockwise.

order to avoid injury.
4. Slide the side handle clamping band over the chuck
and onto the cylindrical section at the front end of
the power tool.
5. Pivot the side handle into the desired position.
6. Fit the depth gauge and secure the side handle in
the desired position by turning the grip firmly until
tight.
4. Push the insert tool into the chuck and rotate it while
applying slight pressure until it engages in the guide
grooves.
5. Push the insert tool further into the chuck until it is
heard to engage.
