2.1 Safety instructions
This documentation contains important instructions on how to use the fastening tool safely and correctly.
You can avoid residual hazards through observance and practical implementation of the safety instructions
found in this documentation and on the product.
2.1.1 Basic safety precautions
In addition to the safety instructions given in the various sections of these operating instructions, the following
points must be strictly observed at all times.
Using cartridges
Use of cartridges of inferior quality in Hilti tools may lead to a build-up of unburned powder, which may
suddenly explode and cause severe injuries to operators and bystanders. The cartridges must be either
verifiably tested by the manufacturer in accordance with EU standard EN 16264 or they must bear the CE
conformity marking.
▶ Use only Hilti cartridges or cartridges of equivalent quality of a type approved for use with this tool.
Requirements to be met by users
The tool is intended for professional use.
The tool may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained, authorized personnel who have received
special instruction regarding the hazards that may be encountered.
▶ Use the tool for the first time only after you have been trained by a Hilti specialist on how to use it safely.
Personal safety
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only
as directed and when in technically faultless condition.
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the
tool if you are not concentrating.
▶ To reduce the risk of injury use only genuine Hilti accessories and spare parts or those of equivalent
quality.
▶ Use only fasteners of a type approved for use with the tool.
▶ Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
▶ Never point the tool toward yourself or other persons.
▶ Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your hand or against any other part of your body (or other
person's hand or part of their body).
▶ Drive the fasteners only into structural steel members. Do not attempt to drive fasteners into other
materials or into hardened or brittle steel, cast iron or spring steel.
▶ Pull the trigger only when the nosepiece of the tool is in contact with the working surface and the tool is
fully compressed.
▶ When driving fasteners, always hold the fastening tool at right angles to the working surface in order to
prevent the fastener being deflected by the surface.
▶ Never redrive a fastener, as this may cause the fastener to break.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
▶ Always remove the cartridges before cleaning, servicing or carrying out maintenance work on the tool.
▶ Never leave the tool unattended.
▶ When not in use, the tool should be unloaded (cartridge strips removed) and stored in a locked, dry place
where it is inaccessible to children.
▶ Never compress the tool while operating the catch, as this presents a risk of injury to the operator's hand.
