▶ When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasteners to the workpiece, ensure that the
anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine during use. If the workpiece is
weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to release from the workpiece.
▶ When securing the drill stand with a vacuum pad to the workpiece, install the pad on a smooth,
clean, non-porous surface. Do not secure to laminated surfaces such as tiles and composite
coating. If the workpiece is not smooth, flat or well affixed, the pad may pull away from the workpiece.
▶ Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during drilling. If the vacuum is insufficient, the pad
may release from the workpiece.
▶ Never perform drilling with the machine secured by the vacuum pad only, except when drilling
downwards. If the vacuum is lost, the pad will release from the workpiece.
▶ When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to protect persons and the work area on the other
side. The bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the other side.
▶ When drilling overhead, always use the liquid collection device specified in the instructions. Do
not allow water to flow into the tool. Water entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
2.4 Additional safety precautions
Personal safety
▶ Do not tamper with or attempt to make alterations to the product.
▶ The product is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
▶ Check that the side handle is fitted correctly and tightened securely. Always hold the tool with both
hands on the grips provided. In accordance with the applications for which it is designed, the product
produces a high torque. Grip the side handle as far to the outside as possible.
▶ Never use continuous running lock in handheld operation!
▶ Always support the power tool firmly in preparation for use. This power tool produces high torque. If the
power tool is not securely supported at all times during operation loss of control can result and lead to
injuries.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts. Switch the product on only after it is in position at the workpiece. Touching
rotating parts, especially rotating accessory tools, can result in injury.
▶ Avoid skin contact with drilling slurry.
▶ Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone
containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust such as oakwood and beechwood dust are classified as carcinogenic, especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Only specialists are
permitted to handle material containing asbestos. Use a dust removal system that is as effective
as possible. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum extractor of the type
recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust and which is designed for use with this power
tool. Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated. It is advisable to wear a respirator appropriate
for the type of dust generated. Comply with national regulations applicable to the materials you will be
working with.
▶ The diamond core drilling machine and the diamond core bit are heavy. There is a risk of crushing parts
of the body. The user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear of the product while the power
tool is suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and safety footwear while the
machine is in use.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers during
breaks between working.
▶ If work involves break-through, always secure the area on the side opposite where the work is carried
out. Pieces of debris could drop out and/or fall down and injure other persons.
▶ Wear eye protection, protective gloves and, if you are not using a dust removal system, wear light
respiratory protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
Power tool use and care
▶ Make sure that the product is correctly and securely mounted on the drill stand.
▶ Always make sure that an end stop is installed on the drill stand as otherwise the safety-relevant end-stop
function is not implemented.
▶ Make sure that the accessory tools used have a mounting system suitable for use with the to the product
and they are secured in the chuck correctly.
▶ The supply cord, the extension cord and the suction hose away to the rear of the product always. This
