Operation; Using The Tool - Hilti DX 860-HSN Mode D'emploi

7. Operation

Driving the fastener may cause
●
flying fragments.
Flying fragments may injure parts
●
of the body or the eyes.
The operator and bystanders must
●
wear goggles and a hard hat.
The fastener is driven by the energy
●
released when a cartridge is fired.
An excessively high noise level may
●
damage the hearing.
The operator and bystanders must
●
wear ear protectors.
Making the tool ready to fire by
●
pressing it against a part of the
body (e.g. the foot) is not permissi-
ble.
This could cause a fastener to be
●
driven into a part of the body.
Never press the tool against a part
●
of the body.

7.1 Using the tool

7.1.1 Selecting the fastener
– Recommendations for selection of fasteners and car-
tridges can be found in the fastener selection diagram.
– The fasteners and cartridge colors are shown in the
fields in the fastener selection diagram. The substructure
thickness is shown in the scale beneath the fields and
the tensile strength of the steel is shown in the scale
beside the fields.
– The final choice of fastener, cartridge and correct power
setting must be determined on the jobsite by making
test fastenings.
-NOTE-
When fastening to materials with a thickness of greater
than 9.5 mm ( / "), please use X-ENP fasteners and the

7.1.3 Loading a strip of Hilti 6.8/11M40
(=.27 CAL Short) cartridges
1. Slide the cartridge strip into the cartridge loading
channel from above.
2. Press the cartridge strip into the cartridge loading
channel until flush with the top edge of the cartridge
loading channel.
7.1.4 Setting fastener driving power
Set the required fastener driving power by turning the
power regulation wheel on the tool.
Position 1 = minimum driving power
Position 4 = maximum driving power
1. Set the power regulation wheel to position 1.
2. Make a series of test fastenings.
3. Use the power adjustment gauge (supplied with fas-
teners or spare sets) to check fastener standoff from
deck surface.
4. If the fastener projects by more than 9.5 mm (
fastener driving power must be increased by turning
the power regulation wheel. Steps 2 and 3 must then
be repeated until fastener projection is within the rec-
ommended range 5–9.5 mm (
-NOTE-
If the necessary fastener head stand-off cannot be achieved
by adjusting the power setting, it may be necessary to
use cartridges of a higher power level.
-NOTE-
Wear parts of the tool will be subjected to excessive
stress if excessively high fastener driving power is used.
7.1.5 Driving fasteners
-NOTE-
The tool must be loaded with at least 15 fasteners.
-CAUTION-
Never attempt to redrive a fastener that has already been
driven.
Use the tool only in an upright position with the tool
nosepiece (fastener exit aperture) pointing downwards.
-WARNING-
Never point the tool toward other persons.
1. Press the tool against the work surface at right angles.
2. Drive the fastener by pressing the firing mechanism
(trigger) on the hand grip.
