Hilti TE 2 Original Operating Instructions page 18

▶ Always lead the supply cord and extension cord away from the power tool to the rear while
working. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord while working.
▶ 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 a dust removal system whenever possible. To achieve a high level
of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner. When indicated, wear a respirator appropriate
for the type of dust generated. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work with.
▶ In the event of a power failure or interruption in the electric supply, switch the power tool off,
unplug the supply cord and release the switch lockbutton (if applicable). This will prevent accidental
restarting when the electric power returns.
▶ 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.
▶ Observe the nationally applicable industrial safety regulations.
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 tool may
become live, for example, when an electric power line is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious
risk of electric shock.
▶ Check the power tool's supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist
if found to be damaged. If the power tool's supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with
a specially-prepared and approved 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.
Personal safety
▶ Wear protective gloves. The rotary hammer may get hot during use. There is a risk of injury (cutting or
burning) if the accessory tool is touched while changing it.
