Hilti GX-IE Operating Instructions Manual page 9

Instructions for handling the propellant gas
▶ Observe the safety instructions printed on the gas can and in the accompanying information.
▶ The gas is highly flammable. Keep the gas can away from open flames and other sources of ignition.
▶ Escaping gas is harmful to the lungs, skin and eyes and can cause cold injuries and burns. Keep your
face and eyes away from the metering valve and the gas can compartment for up to approximately 10
seconds after removing the gas can.
▶ Never attempt to remove or manually operate the metering valve of a gas can that has been prepared
for use or is in use. Considerable quantities of pressurized liquefied gas could escape, endangering you
and other persons.
▶ 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 physician 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.
