▶ Do not attempt to drive fasteners into unsuitable materials.
◁ Unsuitable materials include welded steel and cast steel, cast iron, glass, marble, plastic, bronze,
brass, copper, insulating material, hollow brick, ceramic brick, thin sheet metal (< 4 mm) and cellular
concrete. Driving a fastener into these materials may cause the fastener to break, shatter or to be
driven right through.
▶ Pull the trigger only when the tool is fully pressed against the working surface at right angles.
▶ When driving fasteners, always hold the fastening tool at right angles to the working surface in order to
prevent the fastener being deflected by the surface.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Do not use the tool in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion unless the tool is specially approved
for this type of use.
▶ Never drive fasteners into existing holes unless this is recommended by Hilti (e.g. DX-Kwik).
Workstation
▶ Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the working area.

Thermal safety rules
▶ Do not exceed the recommended maximum fastener driving rate.
▶ If the tool has overheated, allow it to cool down.
▶ Do not dismantle the tool while it is hot. Allow the tool to cool down.
▶ Allow the tool to cool down if the plastic cartridge strip begins to melt.
Risk of explosion with cartridges
▶ Use only cartridges of a type approved for use with the tool.
