Remedying Faults; Care And Maintenance - Hilti DX 860-HSN Mode D'emploi

7.2 Remedying faults

7.2.1 If the tool misfires or a cartridge fails to fire,
proceed as follows:
1. Keep the tool pressed against the work surface for 30
seconds.
en
2. If the cartridge still fails to fire, lift the tool away from
the work surface. Do not point the tool toward your-
self or other persons.
3. At the cartridge loading side, advance the cartridge
strip by one cartridge by pushing the strip further into
the tool or, alternatively, by pulling the strip through
the tool by hand (by one cartridge) at the cartridge
strip exit aperture.
4. Use up the remaining cartridges on the strip. Remove
the used cartridge strip and dispose of it correctly to
prevent possible misuse.
7.2.2 If the tool jams, proceed as follows
-WARNING-
Do not attempt to forcibly remove cartridges from the
cartridge strip or from the tool.
1. Compress the tool a few millimeters and turn the rotat-
ing sleeve through 90° (use the accessory scraper if
necessary).
2. Pull the cartridge strip out of the tool at the cartridge
strip exit aperture.
-NOTE-
Turning the rotating sleeve releases the catch. It jumps
open automatically and allows the tool to be opened.
3. Carry out the steps described at 8.2.1 or 8.2.2.
4. Subsequently, turn the rotating sleeve back through
90° to its original position.

8. Care and maintenance

When this type of tool is used under normal operating
conditions, dirt and residues build up inside it and func-
tionally relevant parts are subject to wear. Regular inspec-
tions and maintenance are thus essential in order to
ensure reliable operation:
The operating controls and the condition of the pis-
●
ton and piston brake must be checked daily, or, at
the latest, after 5,000 fasteners have been driven since
the piston and piston brake were previously replaced
(see section 8.2.1).
The maintenance procedures described at section
●
8.2 must be carried out after every 15,000 fastenings
or, at the latest, if operation of the tool becomes stiff.
-WARNING-
All cartridges must be unloaded from the tool before
carrying out care and maintenance.

7.3 After finishing work with the tool
7.3.1 Unloading the tool
-WARNING-
Do not attempt to forcibly remove cartridges from the
cartridge strip or from the tool.
1. Push the cartridge strip into the tool as far as possi-
ble at the cartridge loading side (in the cartridge strip
advance direction).
2. Pull the cartridge strip out of the tool at the cartridge
strip exit aperture.
7.3.2 Removing fastener strips from the tool
-NOTE-
It is not absolutely essential to remove fastener strips
form the tool.
-WARNING-
Check that no cartridges are present in the tool. If nec-
essary, unload the tool as described at section 7.3.1.
1. Stand the tool upright on the grip (upside down).
2. Use the scraper (supplied with the tool) to push the
fastener strips back through the loading channel.
3. Press the red button above the magazine and allow
the fastener strips to slide out of the magazine.
The tool may become hot during
●
operation.
You could burn your hands.
●
Wear protecive gloves before
●
carrying out care and maintenance.
8.1 Care of the tool
The outer casing of the tool is manufactured from impact
resistant plastic. The grip comprises a synthetic rubber
section. Never operate the tool when the ventilation slots
are unobstructed. Do not permit foreign objects to enter
the interior of the tool. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean
the outside of the tool at regular intervals. Do not use a
spray or steam-cleaning system for cleaning.
