Care And Maintenance - Hilti TE 1000-AVR Operating Instructions Manual

NOTE
As starting is electronically controlled, the power
tool's starting characteristics may be different in cold
conditions.
7.2.2.2 Switching on
1. Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
2. Press the on / off switch.
7.2.2.3 Adjusting chiseling power 6
Chiseling power can be reduced to approx. 70%
by pressing the power selector switch (only
TE 1000 AVR). The power selector LED then lights
indicating reduced power.
NOTE
Chiseling power can be adjusted only when the power
tool is switched on and ready for use. To reselect full
chiseling power, press the chiseling power selector
switch again. Switching off and then on again also
causes the power tool to return to full chiseling power.
7.2.2.4 Switching off
1. Press the on / off switch.
2. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.

8. Care and maintenance

CAUTION
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
8.1 Care of insert tools
Clean off dirt and dust deposits adhering to the insert
tools and protect them from corrosion by wiping the
insert tools from time to time with an oil-soaked rag.
8.2 Care of the power tool
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces,
clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use
cleaning agents which contain silicone.
7.3 Chiseling tips
7.3.1 Starting chiseling 7
Position the tip of the chisel approx. 80-100 mm from
the edge of the workpiece.
7.3.2 Reinforcing bars 8
Always guide the tip of the chisel toward the edge of
the workpiece, not toward reinforcing bars.
7.3.3 Chiseling direction 9
1. Begin with the chisel positioned at an angle of 70°
to 80° to the concrete surface, with the tip of the
chisel pointing toward the edge of the workpiece.
2. Break material away by increasing the angle to
approx. 90° as the chisel penetrates.
7.3.4 Self-sharpening process 10
The chisel should be rotated at regular intervals as
even wear assists the self-sharpening process.
7.3.5 Chiseling depth 11
The polygon chisel design ensures that material is
broken up even when the chisel penetrates to great
depths.
7.3.6 Contact pressure
If inadequate pressure is applied, the chisel will jump
around uncontrollably.
Application of excessive pressure will result in a loss
of chiseling performance.
The outer casing of the power tool is made from
impact-resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made
from a synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation
slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully
using a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to
enter the interior of the power tool. Clean the outside
of the power tool at regular intervals with a slightly
damp cloth. Do not use a spray, steam pressure
cleaning equipment or running water for cleaning.
This may negatively affect the electrical safety of the
power tool.
