2.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
▶ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
▶ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
▶ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

*2149876*
2149876 English 3
Electrical safety
▶ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
▶ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
▶ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
▶ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
▶ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off‐position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
▶ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
▶ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
▶ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
▶ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
▶ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
▶ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2 Cut-off machine safety warnings
▶ The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
Printed: 23.10.2018 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5459296 / 000 / 00
4 English 2149876
*2149876*
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
▶ Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
▶ The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
▶ Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
▶ Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
▶ Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
▶ The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
▶ The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and
flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
▶ Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and
installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally
break apart during this test time.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
▶ Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
▶ Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
▶ Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
▶ Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
▶ Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
▶ Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
▶ Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result
in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the wheel's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel´s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
▶ Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
Printed: 23.10.2018 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5459296 / 000 / 00
*2149876*
2149876 English 5
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
▶ Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
▶ Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
▶ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
▶ Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
▶ Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
▶ When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
▶ Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
▶ Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
▶ Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶ When working, always guide the supply cord and the extension cable to the rear and away from the
power tool. This reduces the risk of tripping over cables while work is in progress.
▶ 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.
▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Wear protective gloves, especially when changing discs, when adjusting the guard and when installing
the depth gauge.
▶ Use a dust removal system and suitable mobile dust extractor whenever possible. 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.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, if necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. 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.
▶ Wear light respiratory protection when using the power tool for dry cutting without a vacuum dust removal
system. Close the cap over the dust removal hose connector.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury! Switch the power tool on only after it is in position at the
workpiece.
▶ Take breaks between working and do relaxation and finger exercises to improve the blood circulation in
your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels
and nervous system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no concealed
electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts on the power tool can become
live, for example if you inadvertently damage electric wiring.

6 English 2149876
*2149876*
▶ Do not touch the supply cord or extension cord if it is damaged while working. Unplug the supply cord
from the power outlet.
▶ Check the power tool’s supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist if
found to be damaged.
▶ Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged.
Using and handling the power tool
▶ Make sure that sparks created during use do not present a hazard. Adjust the guard to the appropriate
position.
▶ Before use, make sure that the cutting disc is correctly installed and secured and run the cutting disc for
30 seconds under no load in a safe position. Switch off the power tool immediately if significant vibration
occurs or some other fault is perceived. Under these circumstances, check the entire system to ascertain
the cause.
▶ Do not use the power tool if it starts sharply or jerkily. The electronics might be defective. Have the
power tool repaired by Hilti Service.
▶ Close the cap over the dust removal hose connector for cutting metals.
Slits cut into load-bearing walls or other structures can influence the statics of the structure, especially when
reinforcing bars or load-bearing components are cut.
▶ Consult the responsible structural engineer, architect or person in charge of the building project before
starting work.
▶ Guide the power tool carefully and make straight cuts in order to keep the cutting disc from jamming. Do
not attempt to make curved cuts.
▶ Guide the power tool smoothly and do not apply lateral pressure to the cutting disc. Always bring the
power tool into contact with the workpiece at right angles. Do not attempt to change the line of cut by
applying lateral pressure or by bending the cutting disc while cutting is in progress. This could damage
the cutting disc and cause it to break.
▶ Never use the power tool without the guard.

5.13 Working safely with the cutter
Conditions: Working on mineral materials
There is a risk of kickback if the cutting disc comes
into contact with the working surface in the area
indicated.
▶ Avoid bringing the cutting disc into contact with the working surface in the area indicated.
▶ Always bring the guide wheels into contact with the working surface / workpiece before starting the
cut.
▶ Allow the power tool to reach full speed before beginning cutting.
▶ Apply pressure to the power tool so that the cutting disc is pressed into the material slowly.
▶ Apply moderate pressure, adjusting the rate of advance to suit the material being cut.
A decrease in the rate of cutting progress may be an indication of blunt/dull (“polished”)
diamond segments. The diamond segments can be resharpened by making a few cuts in an
abrasive material (Hilti sharpening plate or sand-lime block).
▶ Guide the power tool smoothly and do not apply lateral pressure to the cutting disc.
The diamond disc may overheat and suffer damage when cutting very hard mineral materials, e.g.
concrete with a high hard pebble content. A trail of sparks right round the circumference of the diamond
cutting disc is a sure indication of this.
▶ Should this occur, stop cutting and cool the diamond cutting disc by allowing the power tool to run
under no load.
Dust can be kept to a minimum when working by using a suitable vacuum cleaner. Use of a vacuum
cleaner also helps to cool the segments on the disc and thus reduces segment wear.
▶ The vacuum cleaner should be equipped with an antistatic suction hose in order to avoid electrostatic
effects.
