▶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.
Battery tool use and care
▶Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
▶Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
▶When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
▶Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
▶Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
▶Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Additional safety instructions for crimping and cutting tools
Personal safety
▶Use the product only if it is in perfect working order.
▶Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶Check that the locking pin is pushed in all the way and securely engaged.
Electrical safety
▶Before use of the power tool, all live cables or other items carrying electric voltage within the area in which
the user is working are to be switched off. If this is not possible, the corresponding safety precautions
for working in proximity to live cables or equipment must be implemented and observed.
▶Do not crimp or cut through live cables, i.e. cables carrying electricity. The tool must be considered to
be uninsulated and must therefore be used in conjunction with personal protective equipment (protective
gloves, protective footwear, protective clothing, etc.) of a type suitable to provide protection for yourself
and other persons in the vicinity. The power tool is suitable for use on insulated platforms.
Power tool use and care
▶After approx. 50 consecutive crimping or cutting operations, switch the power tool off and allow it to
cool down for about 15 minutes. Overheating can lead to damage to the power tool.
▶Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that installed accessories
are secure.
2.3 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
▶Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height
or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
▶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. Contact Hilti Service.
