b) Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
c) Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
d) Do not operate the power tool without the pro-
tective devices that belong to it.
e) Operate the power tool only as intended and
when it is in faultless condition.
f) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
g) Switch the power tool on only after bringing it
into position at the workpiece.
h) Remove the battery before storing or transport-
ing the power tool.
i) Always guide the power tool away from your
body when working with it.
j) Do not work with the power tool overhead.
k) Do not attempt to brake the speed of the saw
blade by pressing it to the side.
l) Do not touch the clamping flange or the clamp-
ing screw while the power tool is running.
m) The kerf must be free of obstructions. Do not
saw into screws and nails etc.
n) Never press the drive spindle lock button while
the saw blade is rotating.
o) Never direct the power tool toward persons.
p) Adjust the pressure applied to the saw blade
and the material being cut so that the blade
does not stall, possibly causing the power tool
to kick back.
q) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
r) The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
s) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such
as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos
must only be treated by specialists. Where the
use of a dust extraction device is possible it
shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust
collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the
type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that
the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials
you want to work with.
5.3.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.3.3 Electrical safety
Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
5.3.4 Battery use and care
a) Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter-
ies.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-
teries and do not subject them to temperatures
over 80°C.
A risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
d) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
e) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
f) If the battery gets too hot to touch, this may in-
dicate that it is faulty. Place the tool at a location
where there is no risk of causing a fire (at least 3
