Care of the Liion batteries
•
Never use a battery with clogged ventilation slots. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using a dry, soft
brush.
•
Avoid unnecessary exposure of the battery to dust and dirt. Never expose the battery to high levels of
moisture (e.g. by being dipped in water or left in the rain).
If a battery has been soaked by moisture, treat it as a damaged battery. Isolate it in a non-flammable
container and consult Hilti Service.

Keep the battery free of oil and grease. Do not permit dust or dirt to accumulate unnecessarily on the
battery. Clean the battery with a dry, soft brush or a clean, dry rag.
Do not use cleaning agents containing silicone as these can attack the plastic parts.
•
Use only a slightly damp cloth to clean the casing. Do not use cleaning agents containing silicone as
these can attack the plastic parts.
