Why is 1 LED blinking on my Hilti TE 30-A36?
If 1 LED blinks on your Hilti Power Tool, the battery might be discharged. Try changing the battery and charging the empty battery. It could also mean the battery is too hot or too cold, so bring it to the recommended working temperature.
How to release the insert tool on my Hilti TE 30-A36 Power Tool?
If the insert tool can’t be released from your Hilti Power Tool, the chuck might not be pulled back fully. Ensure you pull the chuck back as far as it will go and then remove the accessory tool.
What to do if the Hilti Drill drive spindle doesn't rotate?
If the Hilti Drill's drive spindle doesn't rotate, first allow the combihammer to cool down, as the permissible operating temperature of the electronics might have been exceeded. If that doesn't solve the issue, the battery may be discharged. In this case, change the battery and charge the empty one.
Why no LEDs light on my Hilti Drill?
If no LEDs light up on your Hilti Drill, make sure the battery is fully inserted until it engages with a click. If that doesn't solve the problem, the battery might be discharged, so replace it with a charged one. Also, the battery may be too hot or too cold, so bring the battery to the recommended working temperature.
What to do if my Hilti Drill switches off automatically?
If your Hilti combihammer switches off automatically, the overload cut-out may have been activated. Release the control switch, allow the combihammer to cool down, and then press the control switch again. Also, reduce the load on the tool.
What to do if the battery doesn’t engage with an audible click on my Hilti TE 30-A36 Power Tool?
If the battery doesn’t engage with an audible click on your Hilti Power Tool, the retaining lugs on the battery might be dirty. Clean the retaining lugs and then refit the battery.
Why are 4 LEDs blinking on my Hilti Power Tool?
If 4 LEDs blink on your Hilti Power Tool, it could indicate that the combihammer has been briefly overloaded. Release the control switch and then press it again. Alternatively, the overheating prevention cut-out may have been activated, so allow the combihammer to cool down and clean the air vents.
How to unlock the control switch on my Hilti TE 30-A36?
If the control switch on your Hilti Power Tool can’t be pressed because it's locked, it's likely that the forward/reverse switch is in the middle position. To unlock it, push the forward/reverse switch to the right or left.
What to do if Hilti Drill battery doesn’t engage with a click?
If the battery doesn’t engage with an audible click in your Hilti Drill, the retaining lugs on the battery might be dirty. Clean the retaining lugs and refit the battery.
Why does my Hilti Drill bit make no progress?
If the drill bit on your Hilti Drill makes no progress, ensure that the combihammer is set to run in forward rotation. Move the forward / reverse selector switch to the “Forward” position.

The Hilti TE 30-A36 is a cordless combihammer designed for professional use, offering versatility in drilling and chiseling applications. Its pneumatic hammering mechanism allows for efficient work in concrete, masonry, metal, and wood. The tool is specifically engineered for light to medium-duty chiseling tasks on masonry and for surface finishing on concrete, making it a robust solution for various construction environments.
The TE 30-A36 operates with a powerful Li-ion battery, ensuring cordless freedom and portability. It features a TE-C (SDS plus) chuck, which allows for quick and secure insertion of various drill bits and chisels. The function selector switch provides multiple operating modes: drilling without hammering, hammer drilling, chisel adjustment (12 positions for optimal working angles), and chiseling. This range of functions makes the tool adaptable to different material types and task requirements.
A speed control switch enables smooth starting, giving the operator precise control over the tool's initial operation. The forward/reverse switch allows for easy selection of the drive spindle's rotation direction, which is interlocked to prevent accidental switching while the motor is running. For enhanced safety and control, the tool is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch and Active Torque Control (ATC). The ATC system provides additional comfort by rapidly shutting down the tool upon sudden rotation about the drill bit axis, such as when hitting rebar or tilting unintentionally. This feature helps prevent loss of control and potential injury.
The tool also incorporates a battery charge status LED display, which provides visual feedback on the remaining charge. This helps users monitor battery levels and plan for recharging, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.
The TE 30-A36 is designed with user comfort and safety in mind. It includes a pivotable side grip with a depth gauge, allowing for precise drilling depth adjustments and improved handling. The grip is vibration-absorbing, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged use. For optimal safety, it is crucial to always use the tool with the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both hands, especially during operations where the drill bit might stick, triggering the slip clutch.
When fitting insert tools, the chuck sleeve is pulled forward and held securely, allowing the tool to be pushed in and rotated until it engages. The connection end of the insert tool should be clean and lightly greased to ensure proper function and longevity. Similarly, the dust shield's sealing lip must be clean and in good condition to prevent dust ingress.
The chisel adjustment feature allows the operator to set flat and shaped chisels to 12 different positions (in 30° increments), ensuring the optimum working position for various chiseling tasks. This flexibility enhances efficiency and accuracy.
For dust removal, the TE DRS-S dust removal system can be fitted to the depth gauge of the side handle. This system, when connected to a vacuum cleaner, helps to remove drilling dust and fragments, contributing to a cleaner and safer working environment.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the TE 30-A36. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the battery must be removed to prevent unintentional starting.
Insert tools should be kept clean from dirt and dust deposits and protected from corrosion by wiping them with an oil-soaked rag periodically. The power tool itself, particularly its grip surfaces, should be kept clean and free from oil and grease. Silicone-containing cleaning agents should be avoided.
The outer casing, made of impact-resistant plastic, and synthetic rubber grip sections are designed for durability. The ventilation slots must be kept clear and cleaned with a dry brush to prevent overheating. Foreign objects should not enter the tool's interior. The exterior should be cleaned regularly with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding sprays, steam pressure cleaning equipment, or running water, which could compromise electrical safety.
The dust shield on the chuck requires regular cleaning with a dry, clean cloth. The sealing lip should be wiped carefully and re-greased with Hilti grease. If the sealing lip is damaged, the dust shield must be replaced to maintain effective dust protection.
Li-ion batteries should be charged fully before first use and stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. They should not be exposed to high temperatures, fire, or be disassembled, squashed, or incinerated. It is important to stop discharging the battery as soon as a significant drop in performance is noticed to maximize battery life. Only Hilti chargers approved for Li-ion batteries should be used. The charging process can be interrupted without negative effects on battery life, and Li-ion batteries do not suffer from a memory effect.
All external parts of the power tool should be checked for damage at regular intervals, and all controls should operate faultlessly. Any repairs to the electrical section must be carried out by trained electrical specialists.
