Hilti TE 30-A36 Original Operating Instructions page 25

f) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch
in the middle position) before storing or trans-
porting the power tool.
g) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
h) The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
i) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
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
must only be treated by specialists. Where the
use of a dust extraction device is possible it
shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust
collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the
type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that
the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials
you want to work with.
5.3.2 Careful use of the power tool
a) 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 power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.3.3 Careful use of the cordless tool
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b) Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter-
ies.
c) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
d) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-
teries and do not subject them to temperatures
over 80°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
f) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
g) Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Check that the
terminals on the battery and in the power tool
are free from foreign objects before inserting
the battery in the power tool. Short circuiting the
battery terminals presents a risk of fire, explosion
and chemical burns.
h) Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may
cause a short circuit resulting in a risk of burning
injury or fire.
5.3.4 Electrical safety
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, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
5.3.5 Work area safety
a) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure 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.
