What to do if the Hilti Power Tool uses a fastener without a washer?
To address the issue of a fastener without a washer when using the Hilti Power Tool, use a fastener with a washer for wood applications.
Why does the nail bend when using the Hilti Power Tool?
If the nail bends when using the Hilti Power Tool, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure you are using the correct type of fastener with a length suitable for the insulation material. Next, check the fastener driving power setting and adjust it accordingly. If the concrete contains hard or large aggregates, try using a different cartridge power level.
What to do if the nail does not penetrate the surface with my Hilti Power Tool?
If the nail does not penetrate the surface when using the Hilti Power Tool, it could be due to low driving power. Try a higher power setting or a heavier cartridge. If the application limit has been exceeded because of a very hard surface, use a shorter nail. Alternatively, try using a stronger nail (X-...-H).
Why is the base material spalling when using the Hilti Power Tool?
If the base material is spalling when using the Hilti Power Tool, and you're working with high-strength concrete in a stud application, use a spall stop: X-SS.... If it is a nail application, use a shorter nail. Alternatively, consider using DX-Kwik (predrill).
Why am I getting varying depths of penetration with my Hilti Power Tool?
If you're experiencing varying depths of penetration with your Hilti Power Tool, it could be due to an incorrect piston position. Remove the cartridge strip and use the enclosed pushrod to push the piston fully back. Another possible cause is a bad cartridge, so try changing the cartridge strip, possibly using a new or dry package.
How to fix a fastener that is too short for my Hilti Power Tool?
To solve the issue of a fastener being too short for your Hilti Power Tool, use a longer fastener.
What causes a damaged nail head when using the Hilti Power Tool?
To resolve a damaged nail head with your Hilti Power Tool: reduce the power setting, use a lighter cartridge, check the nail/piston combination, or change the piston.
How to reduce driving power on a Hilti Power Tool?
To correct the issue of driving power being too high on your Hilti Power Tool, reduce the power setting or lower the cartridge power level.
Why won't the cartridge fire in my Hilti Power Tool?
If the cartridge cannot be fired in your Hilti Power Tool, it could be because the tool is compressed for too long while fastening. Compress the tool less long while fastening. If the fastening frequency is too high, remove the cartridge strip. For fast cooling and to avoid possible damage, disassemble the tool. If the problem persists, contact the Hilti Repair Centre.
What to do if the cartridge strip melts on my Hilti Power Tool?
If the cartridge strip melts when using the Hilti Power Tool, immediately discontinue using the tool and let it cool down. Remove the cartridge strip and allow the tool to cool down completely. Clean the tool and remove any loose cartridges. If the problem persists, contact the Hilti Repair Centre.

The Hilti DX 460 is a powder-actuated tool designed for professional fastening applications. It utilizes the well-proven piston principle to drive nails, threaded studs, and composite fasteners into concrete, steel, and sand-lime block masonry. This principle ensures optimal working and fastening safety, as approximately 95% of the kinetic energy is absorbed by the piston, driving fasteners at a much reduced velocity (less than 100 m/sec) in a controlled manner, making dangerous through-shots virtually impossible when used correctly.
The tool operates by transferring energy from a propellant charge to a piston, which then drives the fastener into the base material. After firing, gas pressure from the used cartridge automatically returns the piston to its starting position and feeds the next cartridge into the firing chamber. This automatic process allows for quick and economical fastenings. The DX 460 is compatible with 6.8/11 caliber cartridges. The use of a nail magazine significantly enhances the speed and convenience of fastening, particularly for large numbers of identical fastenings.
The DX 460 incorporates a 5-way safety system for the protection of both the operator and bystanders. Key safety features include:
The DX 460 is part of a "technical unit" system, meaning optimal fastening is achieved when using Hilti fasteners, cartridges, and accessories, or products of equivalent quality. The tool bears the PTB approval mark (S 812), guaranteeing compliance with approved types.
