Hilti TE DRS6-A Original Operating Instructions page 13

▶ Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating drill bits or other accessories, may lead to injury.
▶ Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse selector switch in the middle position) when storing or
transporting the tool.
▶ The tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training. Keep
the tool out of reach of children.
▶ Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead, some wood species, concrete/masonry/stone
containing silica, and minerals as well as metal, may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos
may be handled only by specialists. Use the TE DRS­6­A(02) dust removal module whenever
possible. Alternatively, a suitable vacuum cleaner may be used. When indicated, wear a respirator
appropriate for the type of dust generated. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Observe
national regulations applicable to the materials you intend to work with.
▶ If the work involves breaking right through, take the appropriate safety measures on the opposite
side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down and injure other persons.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, if an electric cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
▶ In accordance with the applications for which it is designed, the tool produces a high torque. Always
use the side handle and hold the tool with both hands. The user must be prepared for sudden sticking
and stalling of the cutting tool.
▶ Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the tool.
▶ Wear protective gloves. The product can get hot during operation. There is a risk of injury (cutting or
burning) if the accessory tool is touched while changing it.
▶ The work you are doing may cause flying fragments. Wear eye protection, protective gloves and, if
you are not using a dust removal system, wear light respiratory protection. Flying fragments present
a risk of injury to the eyes and body.
▶ Observe the nationally applicable industrial safety regulations.
▶ To reduce the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and accessory tools.
Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, the direct heat of the sun, and keep them away
from fire. There is a risk of explosion.
▶ Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C (176°F). This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances.
▶ Never continue to use or attempt to charge damaged batteries, e.g. batteries with cracks, broken
parts, bent or pushed-in / pulled-out contacts).
▶ Do not use the battery as a power source for other unspecified appliances.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. In this case, place the power tool in a non-
flammable location, well away from flammable materials, where it can be kept under observation
and allowed to cool down. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has cooled down.
