Safety
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.
- 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.
- 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 a 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.
- Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
- 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
- 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.
Diamond drill safety warnings
- When performing drilling that requires the use of water, route the water away from the operator’s work area or use a liquid collection device. Such precautionary measures keep the operator’s work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
- Operate power tool by insulated grasping surfaces, 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.
- Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming.
- When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece check that the bit rotates freely before starting. If the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause the diamond drill to release from the workpiece.
- 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 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.
- Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with water supply. Water entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Additional safety instructions
Personal safety- During hand-held use, always hold the machine securely with both hands on the grips provided.
- The machine and the diamond core bit are heavy. There is a risk of crushing parts of the body. Wear a hard hat, protective gloves and safety footwear.
- Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
- Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers during breaks between working.
- Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the machine on only after bringing it into position at the workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating accessory tools, may lead to injury.
- Always lead the supply cord, the extension cord and, if applicable, the suction hose away from the machine to the rear when working. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord or hose while working.
- Do not allow drilling slurry to come into contact with the skin or eyes. Wear protective gloves and protective glasses.
- Children are not permitted to play with the machine and must be instructed accordingly.
- The machine is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training. Keep the machine out of reach of children.
- The accessory tool may become hot during use or during sharpening. There is a risk of burning or cutting injuries. Wear protective gloves when touching or handling the accessory tool.
- When the machine is mounted on the drill stand, lay it down safely on the floor or ground during breaks between use.
- Never tamper with or modify the machine in any way.
- Use a dust removal system that is as effective as possible. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust and which is designed for use with this machine. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
- Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the machine.
- Ensure that the accessory tools used have a mounting system that is compatible with the drilling machine and that they are secured in the chuck correctly.
- Switch the machine off and unplug the supply cord in the event of an interruption in the electric supply in order to avoid inadvertent restarting when the power returns.
- Operate the machine only when the cooling air slots are unobstructed.
- Before beginning the work, check the working area for concealed electrical cables, gas and water pipes, e.g. using a metal detector. External metal parts of the machine may become live, for example, when an electric cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk of electric shock.
- Never operate the machine without the accompanying PRCD (machines without PRCD: Never operate the machine without an isolating transformer). Test the PRCD each time before use.
- Check the machine’s supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist if found to be damaged. If the machine’s supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with a specially-prepared and approved supply cord available from Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or extension cord if it is damaged while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
- Do not use a plug adapter.
- Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may result in damage to the health.
- Do not drill into hazardous materials (e.g. asbestos).
- Approval must be obtained from the site engineer or architect prior to beginning drilling work. Drilling work on buildings and other structures may influence the static equilibrium of the structure, especially when steel reinforcing bars or load-bearing components are cut through.
- It is recommended that rubber gloves and non-skid shoes are worn when working outdoors.
- Suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and safety footwear must be worn while the machine is in use. Other persons in the vicinity must also wear personal protective equipment.

Noise and vibration values
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one electric machine with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.The declared vibration level represents the main applications of the machine. However, if the machine is used for different applications, with different accessory tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level may vary. This may significantly increase the exposure to vibration over the total working period.
An accurate estimation of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the machine is switched off, or when it is running but not actually being used for a job. This may significantly reduce the exposure to vibration over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the machine and accessory tools, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

- Switch the machine on in sustained operating mode by pressing the control switch fully and then pressing the switch lockbutton.
- Turn the hand wheel until the diamond core bit is in contact with the working surface.
- When beginning drilling, apply only light pressure until the core bit has centered itself and then increase the pressure.
- Increase the pressure against the working surface as soon as you feel that the core bit has centered itself and is rotating smoothly.
- Regulate the contact pressure while observing the drilling performance indicator.
Drilling with a 600 mm core bit
- Start the hole by predrilling with a 300 mm core bit.
- After changing the core bit, keep the machine switched off and guide the 600 mm core bit into the predrilled hole, all the way to the base of the hole.
- Continue drilling.
Switching the machine off
- Switch the machine off when the desired drilling depth is reached or when the through-hole has been completed. If you are using the switch lock, release the lock by pressing the on/off switch.
- Withdraw the core bit from the hole as the machine slows down, but before it stops.
- The water supply (water on/off) is controlled automatically by the machine’s on/off switch.
- The water supply (water on/off) is controlled automatically by the machine’s on/off switch.
Removing and emptying the core bit
- Unplug the supply cord from the power outlet.
- Open the chuck. To do this, pull the chuck locking lever up as far as it will go.
- Rotate the core bit as far as it will go.
- Pull the core bit out of the chuck.
- Tilt the core bit slightly away from the imaginary extension of the chuck axis.
- Pull the core bit out of the water collector.
- Hold the core bit securely and shake it until the core falls out through the connection end towards the rear. If parts of the core remain stuck in the core bit, tap the end of core bit vertically downwards against a soft object (wood or plastic) or use a thin rod (e.g. the depth gauge) to push out the core.
- Close the chuck locking lever.
Removing the core from the hole
- While rotating it slightly, push the core breaking tool into the hole as far as it will go.
- Break the core by applying slight lateral pressure to the core breaking tool.
- Pull the broken core out of the hole with the core breaking tool.
- Use a rule to measure the hole depth actually reached.
Disposal of drilling slurry
- Collect the drilling slurry (e.g. using a wet/dry industrial vacuum cleaner).
- Allow the drilling slurry to settle and dispose of the solid material at a construction waste disposal site.
- The remaining drilling water (alkaline, pH value > 7) must be neutralized by the addition of an acidic neutralizing agent or diluted with a large volume of water before it is allowed to flow into the sewerage system.
Care and maintenance
Care- Carefully remove any dirt that may be adhering to surfaces.
- Clean the cooling air slots carefully with a dry brush.
- Use only a slightly damp cloth to clean the casing. Do not use cleaning agents containing silicone as these may attack the plastic parts.
- Remove any dirt that may be adhering to the item.
- Protect the surfaces of accessory tools and the chuck from corrosion by rubbing these items with an oily cloth from time to time.
- Always keep the connection end clean and lightly oiled.
- Check all visible parts and controls for signs of damage at regular intervals and make sure that they all function correctly.
- Do not operate the machine if damaged or if its parts malfunction. Have the machine repaired by Hilti Service immediately.
- On versions with a replaceable supply cord, the supply cord may be replaced by a trained electrical specialist.
- After cleaning and maintenance, fit all guards or protective devices and check that they function correctly.
Replacing the carbon brushes
- Unplug the supply cord from the power outlet.
- Open the carbon brush covers on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the motor.
- Take note of how the carbon brushes are fitted and how the conductors are positioned. Remove the worn carbon brushes from the diamond core drilling machine.
- Fit the new carbon brushes, positioning them exactly the same as the old ones fitted previously.
- Screw on the carbon brush covers on the left- and right-hand side of the motor.
- Run in the carbon brushes by letting the machine run under no load for at least 1 minute without interruption.
- The indicator lamp will go out after a running time of approx. 1 minute with the new carbon brushes.
- The indicator lamp will go out after a running time of approx. 1 minute with the new carbon brushes.
Cleaning the water flow sight glass
- Use a Torx TX 15 screwdriver to remove the two screws at the sight glass.
- Lift the glass away.
- Remove the water flow rate impeller, complete with axle.
- Remove any dirt particles by flushing under running water.
- Before fitting the parts, check the sight glass seal for damage and replace it if necessary.
- Make sure that the seal is positioned exactly in its seat. The seal may otherwise be pinched between the plastic parts when the sight glass is fitted, thereby damaging the seal and resulting in leakage.
- Refit the impeller complete with its axle.
- Press the sight glass back into place.
- Insert the sight glass retaining screws (Torx screws) and tighten them securely.
