Before Use - Hilti TE 60 Operating Instructions Manual

5.3.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
en
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
b) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified spe-
cialist if found to be damaged. If the power tool's
supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with
a specially-prepared supply cord available from
Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if found to
be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or
extension cord if it is damaged while working.
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords
present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been used
frequently for work on conductive materials
should be checked at regular intervals at a Hilti
Service Center. Under unfavorable circumstances,
dampness or dust adhering to the surface of
the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.

6 Before use

6.1 Fitting and adjusting the side handle 2
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle counterclockwise.
3. Slide the side handle clamping band over the chuck
and onto the cylindrical section at the front end of
the power tool.
4. Pivot the side handle into the desired position.
5. CAUTION Check that the clamping band is en-
gaged in the groove provided on the power tool.
Secure the side handle by turning the grip clockwise.

d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD
residual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.
5.3.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Ex-
posure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may
result in damage to the health.
b) If the work involves breaking right through, take
the appropriate safety measures at the opposite
side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall
down and injure other persons.
5.3.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protec-
tion, protective gloves and breathing protection while
the tool is in use.
6.2 Fitting the depth gauge (optional)
1. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle counterclockwise.
2. Push the depth gauge into the two guide holes in
the side handle clamp.
3. Tighten the side handle securely by turning the
grip section. This also clamps the depth gauge in
position.
6.3 Unlocking the power tool
Please refer to the section "Operation / TPS theft protec-
tion system (ATC)".
6.4 Use of extension cords and generators or
transformers
See section "Description / use of extension cords".
