▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that installed accessories
are secure.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) of the power tool and do not aim the beam at other
persons' faces. Risk of dazzling and you could injure the eyes.
▶ Keep the retaining strap and the tether clean and dry.
Electrical safety
▶ Before use of the crimping tool, all live cables and other equipment carrying electric voltage within the
area in which the user is working are to be switched off. If this is not possible, the corresponding safety
precautions for working in proximity to electrically live cables or equipment applicable in your country
must be implemented and observed.
▶ Before using the crimping tool, make sure there are no concealed electric cables or gas or water pipes
in the working area. External metallic or live parts can give you an electric shock if you inadvertently
damage electric cables or gas or water pipes.
▶ Do not crimp live parts, i.e. parts carrying electric voltage. The crimping tool must be considered as being
uninsulated and must therefore be used in combination with personal protective equipment (protective
gloves, protective footwear, protective clothing, etc.) of a type suitable to provide protection for yourself
and other persons in the vicinity. It is essential to ensure adequate insulation for working in the vicinity of
electrically live lines, for example by the use of solid insulating material or maintenance of an adequate
air gap. The crimping tool is, amongst others, suitable for use on electrically insulating aerial lifts or
platforms.
▶ In order to use the crimping tool in the vicinity of electrically live lines, the user must:
▶ take all different potentials (voltages) into account.
▶ make sure that all chosen measures and tools are appropriate for the application.
▶ be trained for working on electrically live lines.
▶ wear suitable personal protective equipment.
▶ wear appropriate, close-fitting clothing.
▶ remove metallic lifestyle accessories such as jewelry.
Power tool use and care
▶ After approx. 50 consecutive crimping operations, switch the power tool off and allow it to cool down for
about 15 minutes. Overheating can lead to damage to the crimping tool.
▶ Store the crimping tool in a dry place inaccessible to children and unauthorized persons.

Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height
or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. Put the battery in a place where it is clearly visible
and where there is no risk of fire, at an adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow the battery to
cool down. If it is still too hot to touch after an hour, the battery is faulty. Contact Hilti Service.
