Hilti GX 2 Original Operating Instructions page 21

Instructions for handling the propellant gas
▶ Observe the instructions printed on the gas can and in the accompanying information.
▶ Escaping gas is harmful to the lungs, skin and eyes. Keep your face and eyes away from the gas can
compartment for up to about 10 seconds after removing the gas can.
▶ Do not operate the gas can valve manually.
▶ If a person has inhaled gas, take the person into the open air or into a well-ventilated area and place the
person in a comfortable position. Consult a doctor if necessary.
▶ Call a doctor if the person is unconscious. Bring the person into a well-ventilated area and place the
person in the stable recovery position (i.e. lying on the side). If the person is not breathing, administer
artificial respiration and, if necessary, supply oxygen.
▶ After eye contact with gas, rinse the open eyes thoroughly under running water for several minutes.
▶ After skin contact with gas, wash the contact area carefully with soap and warm water. Subsequently
apply a skin cream.
General instructions concerning personal safety
▶ Take care to adopt an ergonomic body position. Work from a safe stance and take care to stay in balance
at all times. This will allow you to control the fastening tool better, even in unexpected situations.
▶ Keep other people away from the working area, especially children.
