The tool is designed for professional use in fastening applications where nails, threaded studs and composite fasteners
are driven into concrete, steel and sand-lime block masonry.
The tool is for hand-held use only.
Modification of the tool is not permitted.
The tool may not be used in an explosive or flammable atmosphere unless it has been approved for use under these
conditions.
To reduce the risk of injury use only genuine Hilti fasteners, cartridges, accessories and spare parts or those of
equivalent quality.
Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.
The tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used
not as directed.
The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired only by trained personnel. This personnel must be informed of any
special hazards that may be encountered.
As with all powder-actuated fastening tools, the tool, cartridges and fasteners form a technical unit. This means that
trouble-free fastening with this system can be assured only if the Hilti fasteners and cartridges specially manufactured
for it, or products of equivalent quality, are used. The fastening and application recommendations given by Hilti apply
only when these conditions are observed.
