Hilti NPR 019 IE-A22 Original Operating Instructions page 18

▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
▶ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
▶ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶ Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
▶ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
▶ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
▶ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
▶ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
▶ 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.
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.
2.2 Additional safety instructions for crimping tools
Personal safety
▶ Use the product only if it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Never carry out crimping work on parts of a gas supply network unless express approval has been given
by the system supplier for use of this tool in conjunction with specially tested and approved fittings.
▶ Check that the locking pin is pushed in all the way and securely engaged.
▶ To prevent unintentional operation of the tool, always remove the battery before changing the crimping
dies.
▶ Take care to ensure that there are no foreign objects (e.g. plaster, grit particles, metal cuttings, etc.) in
the crimping jaws and no parts are damaged. Do not continue to use damaged or distorted crimping
jaws.
▶ Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing. Loose clothing or jewelry could get
caught in the moving parts of the tool.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment, always including protective glasses and protective gloves.
▶ Avoid unusual body positions. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Electrical safety
▶ Before use of the power tool, all live cables or other items carrying electric voltage within the area in which
the user is working are to be switched off. If this is not possible, the corresponding safety precautions
for working in the proximity of live cables or equipment must be implemented and observed.
▶ Do not crimp live parts. The tool must be considered to be uninsulated and must therefore be used
in conjunction with personal protective equipment (protective gloves, protective footwear, protective
clothing, etc.) of a type suitable to provide protection for yourself and other persons in the vicinity.
