8.1 Care of the fastening tool
For cleaning, use only the cleaning accessories supplied by Hilti, or material of equivalent quality. Do not,
under any circumstances, use spray cleaning equipment, compressed air, high-pressure cleaning equipment,
solvents or water for cleaning.

fastening tool when a cartridge is fired.
