Before operating the ma-
chine, please note:
When working with the machine, it must be
held with two hands. Always make sure that
you have a safe stance/foothold.
1. The mains voltage must comply with the
information on the rating plate.
2. The TE704 is double insulated and must
not be grounded/earthed.
3. Do not apply excessive pressure to the TE
704 – this will not increase its performance.
Simply position and guide the chisel.
The enclosed list of safety precautions
must be observed.
Fig. 1: Cleaning chisel connection ends
The chuck is not incorporated in the machi-
ne's lubrication system. The connection ends
of chisels and other tools must therefore be
cleaned regularly and lubricated sparingly
with Hilti grease.
Fig. 4: Side handle
Adjust the side handle as desired and lock
it in position.
Starting time at low temperatures:
The starting time (until hammering action ope-
rates) can be reduced by jolting the chisel
once against the working surface as the ma-
chine is switched on.
Operation:
Fig. 2: Inserting a chisel
Pull back the locking sleeve, insert the chisel
and rotate it until the guide grooves engage.
Push the chisel in further against the resistance
of the spring-loaded rollers and release the
locking sleeve.
To remove the chisel: Pull back the locking
sleeve and remove the chisel.
Fig. 3: Chisel adjustment
Hold the TE 704 in a horizontal position or
with the chuck pointing upwards. Pull back

the locking sleeve as far as it will go. The chi-
sel is then disengaged (1). Rotate the chi-
sel into the desired position (2), release the
locking sleeve and the chisel engages in po-
sition (3).
If the TE704 is held with the chuck poin-
ting downwards, the chisel may fall out
when the locking sleeve is pulled back.
Fig. 4:
Adjust the side handle to the optimum wor-
king position. Radial and axial adjustment is
possible.

Adjust the hammering power as required
(symbol j 100% or symbol j 50%).
Beginning work:
Operate the on/off switch. The machine is
ready for operation.
Servicing:
The TE704 is equipped with a service indi-
cator. When the indicator lights up, the ma-
chine should be serviced by Hilti. Failure to
service the machine when indicated could
result in expensive consequential dama-
ge. Electric tools must comply with the ap-
plicable safety regulations. Servicing, there-
fore, must be carried out only by qualified el-
ectrical specialists. The use of original Hilti
parts ensures optimum safety.
Chisel maintenance:
Pointed and flat chisels:
Slightly worn cutting edge: Grind the tip of
the chisel carefully, without causing tempering
colours to appear. This can be repeated se-
veral times if necessary.
Badly worn cutting edge: Reforge the chi-
sel at a temperature of approx. 900°C to 1000°C
(bright red–bright yellow red). It should then
be hardened by heating to a temperature of
1000°C to 1 100°C (bright yellow red–yellow).
Allow the chisel to cool slowly (in the air – do
not quench). Additional tempering is not ne-
cessary.
Shaped chisels – hollow/channel/wide-flat
chisels
Slightly worn cutting edge: Regrind carefully
as with pointed and flat chisel.
Badly worn cutting edge: Reforge the chi-
sel at a temperature of 850°C to 1050°C (bright
red–bright yellow red). Harden the chisel by
heating it to 850°C to 900°C (bright red) be-
fore quenching it in oil. It should then be tem-
pered at 200°C to 300°C.
