Using and handling the cordless power tool
▶ Recharge the batteries only with the chargers specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for a certain type of battery may present a risk of fire when used with other types of battery.
▶ Use only the specified batteries in power tools. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of injury
and fire.
▶ When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
small metal objects that could cause bridging between the terminals. A short circuit between the
battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
▶ Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with the liquid. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid contacts the eyes, also seek medical attention.
Liquid escaping from the battery can cause skin irritation or burns.
▶ Do not use damaged or modified batteries. Damaged or modified batteries may behave unpredictably
and lead to fires, explosions or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose batteries to fire or excessive temperatures. Fires or temperatures over 130 °C (265
°F) may cause an explosion.
▶ Follow all instructions on battery charging and never charge the battery or the battery-powered
tool outside the temperature range stated in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or
charging outside the approved temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
2.2 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use of Li-ion batteries.
Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of fluids that are extremely
harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
▶ Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been damaged in any other way. Check
your batteries regularly for signs of damage.
▶ Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶ Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
▶ Never expose batteries to the direct rays of the sun, elevated temperature, sparking, or open flame. This
can lead to explosions.
▶ Do not touch the battery poles with your fingers, tools, jewelry, or other electrically conductive objects.
This can damage the battery and also cause material damage and personal injury.
▶ Keep batteries away from rain, moisture and liquids. Penetrating moisture can cause short circuits,
electric shock, burns, fire and explosions.
▶ Use only chargers and power tools approved for the specific battery type. Read and follow the relevant
operating instructions.
▶ Do not use or store the battery in explosive environments.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch, it may be defective. Put the battery in a place where it is clearly visible
and where there is no risk of fire, at an adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow the battery to
cool down. If it is still too hot to touch after an hour, the battery is faulty. Consult Hilti Service or read the
document entitled "Instructions on safety and use for Hilti Li-ion batteries".
Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
