Hilti SF 6-A22 Original Operating Instructions page 8

▶ 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 Drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
▶ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque and without properly
bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory or fasteners 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.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
▶ Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
▶ Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
▶ Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Safety instructions for using mixing paddles or stirrers
▶ Switch the power tool on or off only when the mixing paddle is immersed in the material for mixing.
Failure to do so can cause a loss of control with resultant risk of injury.
2.3 Drill/driver safety warnings
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.4 Additional safety precautions for screwdrivers
Personal safety
▶ Only use the product if it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Use the auxiliary grip supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ 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 an operation where the accessory
tool may come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live
wire, metal parts of the power tool may also become live, causing the operator to receive an electric
shock.
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and light respiratory
protection while using the tool.
