1.1 Basic safety instructions

In addition to the safety precautions listed in the indi-

vidual sections of these operating instructions, the

following points must be strictly observed at all times.

1.2 Only use Hilti cartridges or cartridges of equiva-

lent quality

The use of cartridges of inferior quality in Hilti tools may

lead to build-up of unburned powder, which may explo-

de and cause severe injuries to operators and bystan-

ders. At a minimum, cartridges must either:

a) Be confirmed by their supplier to have been suc-

cessfully tested in accordance with EU standard EN

16264

NOTE:

● All Hilti cartridges for powder-actuated tools have

been tested successfully in accordance with EN 16264.

● The tests defined in the EN 16264 standard are system

tests carried out by the certification authority using

specific combinations of cartridges and tools.

The tool designation, the name of the certification aut-

hority and the system test number are printed on the

cartridge packaging.

b) Carry the CE conformity mark (mandatory in the EU

as of July 2013).

See packaging sample at:

30 seconds.

2. If the cartridge still fails to fire, withdraw the tool from

the working surface, taking care that it is not pointed

towards your body or bystanders.

3. Manually advance the cartridge strip one cartridge.

Use up the remaining cartridges on the strip. Remove

the used cartridge strip and dispose of it in such a

way that it can be neither reused nor misused.

● If 2–3 cartridge firing with reduced driving power

occur in succession (without clearly audible noise of the

cartridge firing and the fastener being driven with sig-

nificantly less power), proceed as follows:

1. Stop using the tool immediately.

2. Unload and disassemble the tool (see 8.3).

3. Check that the correct combination of fastener guide,

piston and fastener are used (see 6.2).

3. Description

The tool is designed for professional use in fastening

applications where nails, threaded studs and compo site

fasteners are driven into concrete, steel and sand-lime

block masonry.

The tool works on the well-proven piston principle and

is therefore not related to high-velocity tools. The pis-

ton principle provides an optimum of working and fas-

tening safety. The tool works with cartridges of 6.8/11

caliber.

The piston is returned to the starting position and the

cartridges are fed to the firing chamber automatically

by gas pressure from the fired cartridge. This permits

fastenings to be made very quickly and economically

with nails and threaded studs. The use of a nail maga-

zine greatly increases the speed and convenience of fas-

tening with the tool, above all when making large num-

bers of identical fastenings of all kinds.

As with all powder-actuated tools, the tool, magazine,

fastener program and cartridge program form a “tech-

nical unit”. This means that optimal fastening with this

system can only be assured if the fasteners and car-

tridges are specially manufactured for it, or products of

equivalent quality, are used. The fastening and applica-

tion recommendations given by Hilti are only applicable

if these conditions are observed.

The tool features 5-way safety – for the safety of the

operator and bystanders.

The piston principle

The energy from the propellant charge is transferred to

a piston, the accelerated mass of which drives the fastener

into the base material. As approximately 95 % of the

kinetic energy is absorbed by the piston, the fastener is

driven into the base material at much reduced velocity

(less than 100 m/sec.) in a controlled manner. The dri-

ving process ends when the piston reaches the end of

its travel. This makes dangerous through-shots virtual-

ly impossible when the tool is used correctly.

The drop-firing safety device is the result of cou-

pling the firing mechanism with the cocking move-

ment. This is designed to prevent the Hilti DX tool from

firing when it is dropped onto a hard surface, no mat-

ter at which angle the impact occurs.

The trigger safety device ensures that the cartridge

cannot be fired simply by pulling the trigger only. The

tool can be fired only when pressed against the surface.

2.1 Signal words and their meaning

WARNING

The word WARNING is used to draw attention to a poten-

tially dangerous situation which could lead to severe

personal injury or death.

CAUTION

The word CAUTION is used to draw attention to a poten-

tially dangerous situation which could lead to minor per-

sonal injury or damage to the equipment or other prop-

erty.

2.2 Pictograms

 The numbers refer to the illustrations. The illustra-

tions can be found on the fold-out cover pages. Keep

these pages open while you read the operating instruc-

tions.

In these operating instructions, the designation “the

tool” always refers to the DX 460 powder-actuated tool.

Location of identification data on the tool

The type designation and the serial number are printed

on the type plate on the tool. Make a note of this infor-

mation in your operating instructions and always refer

to it when making an enquiry to your Hilti representa-

tive or service department.

Type: DX460

Serial no.:

Printed: 08.07.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5069836 / 000 / 02

The contact pressure safety device requires the tool

to be pressed against a firm surface with a significant

force. The tool can be fired only when pressed fully

against the work surface in this way.

In addition, all Hilti DX tools are equipped with an unin-

tentional firing safety device . This prevents the tool

from firing if the trigger is pulled and the tool then pressed

against the work surface. The tool can be fired only when

it is first pressed (1.) against the surface correctly and

(2.) the trigger then pulled.

8. Care and maintenance

When this type of tool is used under normal operating

conditions, dirt and residues build up inside the tool

and functionally relevant parts are also subject to wear.

Regular inspections and maintenance are thus essen-

tial in order to ensure reliable operation. We recom-

mend that the tool is cleaned and the piston and piston

brake are checked at least weekly when the tool is sub-

jected to intensive use, and at the latest after driving

10,000 fasteners.

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.

The ventilation slots must be unobstructed and kept
