2 Safety
2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
▶Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
▶Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
▶Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
▶Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
▶Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
▶Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
*2243130* 2243130 English 3
▶Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
▶When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
▶Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
▶Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
▶Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
▶Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
▶Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
▶Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
▶Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
▶Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
▶Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
▶Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
▶Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
▶Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
▶Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
▶Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2 Additional safety instructions for saws with reciprocating saw blade
▶Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the
accessory tool might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into
contact with a live wire, metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
4 English 2243130 *2243130*
▶Use clamps or some other suitable means to firmly secure the workpiece to a stable supporting
surface. Holding the workpiece only by hand or against your body leaves it unstable, which can lead to
loss of control.
2.3 Additional safety instructions for saws
Personal safety
▶Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the front gripping
area or the motor housing. When both hands are on the saw they cannot be injured by the saw while it is
in use.
▶Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of
wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, if necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Only specialists are permitted to handle
material containing asbestos.
▶Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
▶Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands on the handles provided for the purpose and position
your arms to absorb kickback forces.
▶Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶Position yourself off to one side of the blade, never bring the blade into line with your body. The saw can
jump backward toward you if kickback occurs.
▶If the saw blade binds or when you interrupt work for any reason, switch off the saw and hold it motionless
in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the
workpiece or pull the saw back while the blade is in motion, as otherwise the saw could kick back.
▶When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not in engagement with the workpiece.
▶Use extra caution when sawing into walls or other blind areas. As it enters the material the blade might
encounter a hidden obstruction, resulting in kickback.
▶Before starting the saw, hold it so that it cannot be triggered and grip and pull the saw blade to check
that it is securely engaged in the chuck. A saw blade flung out by the saw is extremely dangerous.
Electrical safety
▶Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you
accidentally damage an electric cable.
▶Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the accessory
tool might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live
wire, metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
▶Check the machine’s supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist if
found to be damaged. If the machine’s supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with a specially
prepared and approved supply cord available from Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords at
regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or extension
cord if it is damaged while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged
supply cords or extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
Power tool use and care
▶Do not use dull or damaged blades. These cause increased friction and present a high risk of the saw
blade binding or kicking back.
▶Comply with the manufacturer's instructions for handling and storing saw blades.
▶The product must be pressed against the workpiece until the contact shoe makes firm contact. This
ensures optimum and safe progress as you work.
▶Wear suitable protective clothing as protection against hot particles of material.
