What to do if the piston is stuck in the base material with my Hilti Power Tool?
If the piston is stuck in the base material when using your Hilti Power Tool, the cartridge strip might be damaged, so change the cartridge strip. Another cause could be carbon build-up; in this case, clean the cartridge strip guideway. If the tool is damaged, contact the Hilti Repair Centre.
Why is my Hilti Power Tool misfiring?
If you're experiencing misfires with your Hilti Power Tool, resulting in the nail only being partly driven into the base material, it could be due to a damaged piston. Remove the cartridge strip. Another cause might be buffer debris inside the piston return unit, so unscrew the piston return unit and push out the piston through the cartridge chamber using the pushrod provided. Also, check for a damaged buffer and piston, and change them if necessary. Finally, carbon build-up could be the culprit, so clean the tool.
What to do if the trigger cannot be pulled on my Hilti Power Tool?
If the trigger cannot be pulled on your Hilti Power Tool, it could be due to damaged piston and/or buffer, so unscrew the magazine. Another possible cause is plastic debris inside the magazine; if so, open the magazine, remove the fastener strip, and clear the plastic debris.
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.
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).
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 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.
