Safety instructions
Requirements to be met by users
▶ The tool is intended for professional use.
▶ The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired only by authorized, trained personnel. This personnel
must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered.
Personal safety
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a direct fastening tool. Do
not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Take a break
if you experience pain or feel unwell. A moment of inattention while operating tools may result in serious
personal injury.
▶ Avoid unfavorable body positions. Make sure you work from a safe stance and stay in balance at all
times.
▶ Wear non-skid shoes.
▶ Never point the tool toward yourself or other persons.
▶ Never press the nose of the tool against your hand or other part of your body, or against another
person. Do not, under any circumstances, position your hand or other part of your body in the vicinity
of the nosepiece. Pressing the nosepiece against a part of the body can lead to severe injury, due to
unintentional actuation and firing of the fastener.
▶ Do not place your free hand directly behind the material being fastened.
▶ Do not position your free hand in the vicinity of the nosepiece.
▶ Keep other people away from the working area, especially children.
▶ Keep the arms slightly bent while operating the tool (do not straighten the arms).
▶ Both the user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable personal protective equipment
including adequate eye protection, ear protectors and a hard hat.
Careful handling and use of direct fastening tools.
▶ Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
▶ Remove the gas can from the tool before transporting the tool.
▶ Always unload the tool (remove the battery, gas can and nails) before cleaning, servicing, and repair
work, before a break in your work, and for storing the tool.
▶ Store unused gas cans and tools that are not currently being used in a dry place where they are not
exposed to moisture and excessive temperatures.
▶ To ensure that the tool functions faultlessly and as intended, always check the tool and accessories for
possible damage before use. Check that moving parts function faultlessly, without sticking, and that
no parts are damaged. All parts must be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary for correct
operation of the tool. Damaged protective devices and parts that are not included in the service package
available as an accessory (see the section headed "Care of the tool") must be properly repaired or
replaced by Hilti Service unless otherwise stated in the operating instructions.
▶ Always hold the tool firmly when making a fastening. This will reduce the possibility of the fastener being
deflected by the material into which it is driven.
▶ Never attempt to re-drive a fastener. Never drive a fastener on top of another previously-driven fastener.
This may lead to fastener breakage and jamming.
▶ Always observe the application guidelines. For more information, consult the Hilit Fastening Technology
Manual.
▶ Do not pull the nosepiece back with your hand or with an object. Under certain circumstances, this
could make the tool ready to fire. When the tool is ready to fire, fasteners or the piston could be driven
inadvertently into parts of the body.
Workplace
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well lit.
