5. Safety precautions
5.1 Basic information concerning safety
In addition to the information relevant to safety given in
each of the sections of these operating instructions, the
following points must be strictly observed at all times.
Read all instructions! Failure to observe the following
instructions may lead to a risk of electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
5.2 Correct use
● The appliance is designed to charge Hilti batteries with
a nominal voltage of 7.2 – 36 volts (C 7/36-ACS charg-
er) or 7.2 – 24 volts (C 7/24 charger).
● Use the appliance to charge Hilti batteries listed in
these operating instructions only.
● The appliance must not be used in areas where there
is a risk of explosion.
● Manipulation or modification of the appliance is not
permissible.
● Do not render any safety devices ineffective and do
not remove any information or warning plates.
● Do not use the appliance if the plug pins are bent or
damaged (do not use force when plugging in).
● Follow the instructions concerning care and mainte-
nance.
● The appliance and its ancillary equipment may pre-
sent hazards when used incorrectly by untrained per-
sonnel or not as directed.
● The C 7/36-ACS features radio interference suppres-
sion and is thus intended for use worldwide and in EU
and EFTA countries in particular.
5.3 Take the necessary precautions to make the
workplace safe
● Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
● Keep the working area tidy. Objects which could cause
injury should be removed from the working area. Untidi-
ness at the workplace may lead to accidents.
● Keep children away from the appliance. Do not permit
other persons to touch the appliance or its extension
cord.
5.4 General safety precautions
● Use the correct appliance for the job. Do not use the
appliance for purposes for which it was not designed.
Use it only as directed and when in faultless condition.
● Take the surrounding conditions into account. Do not
expose the appliance to rain or snow and do not use
it in damp or wet areas. Do not use the appliance where
there is a risk of fire or explosion.
● Appliances should be stored in a secure place when
not in use. When not in use, the appliance should be
stored in a dry place, locked up or out of reach of chil-
dren.
5.4.1 Electrical hazards
● Protect yourself from electric shocks. Avoid body con-
tact with earthed objects, e.g. pipes and radiators.
● Check the condition of the supply cord at regular inter-
vals and have it replaced by a trained electrical spe-
cialist if found to be damaged. Check the condition of
extension cords at regular intervals and replace these
if damaged.
● Check the condition of the appliance including the sup-
ply cord and extension cord as well as the plug con-
nections. Do not operate the appliance if damage is
found, if the appliance is not complete or if its con-
trols cannot be operated faultlessly.
● Do not cover the appliance. Keep the ventilation slots
free.
● Do not touch the supply cord in the event of it suffer-
ing damage while working. Disconnect the supply cord
plug from the socket.
● The appliance should be repaired by a trained electri-
cal specialist (Hilti service center), using original Hilti
spare parts. Failure to observe this point may result
in a risk of accident to the user.
● Do not use the supply cord for purposes for which it
was not intended. Never carry the appliance by the
supply cord. Do not unplug the appliance by pulling
the supply cord.
● Do not expose the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp
edges.
● When working outdoors, use only extension cords
approved and correspondingly marked as suitable for
outdoor use.
● Avoid using extension cords with multiple sockets
and simultaneous operation of several tools or appli-
ances.
● Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or wet.
Dust or dampness on the surface of the appliance
make it difficult to hold and, under unfavorable condi-
tions, may lead to electric shocks.
● Ensure that the outer surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting the battery in the appropri-
ate charger for charging.
● Avoid short-circuiting the battery. A short circuit may
present a fire hazard.
● Avoid touching the contacts.
● Use only the batteries listed in these operating instructions.
