7 METHOD OF EXECUTION
7.1
General
This chapter explains the importance of knowing pertinent data of the tool to be used for the
installation of floorings, walkways and other related safety amenities at C2 FD.
The application will also covers the other sites i.e. FC, FB, FA, etc. of the ACC
It is essential that operating instructions are read and comprehended before the tool is
operated for the first time and during the duration of installation period.
It is also essential to know where the fasteners and its combination will be applied in the ACC.
Procedures on the installation of plates using the special tool are also described herein.
This is also established in order to assure that all works are carried out without flaws before
execution of works and start up.
7.2
7.2.1
Piston Principle
o Piston principle: the energy from the propellant is transferred to the piston, accelerated mass
of which drives the fastener into the base material. Due to use of this principle, the tool is
classified as "low velocity tool". Approximately 95% of kinetic energy is taken up by the piston
when the tool is fired. As the piston is always stopped as it reaches the end of its travel,
excess energy is absorbed by the tool. Accordingly, when the tool is used correctly,
dangerous through-shots with a fasteners exit velocity in excess of 100 m/sec therefore
become virtually impossible.
o Drop-firing safety device: the drop-firing safety device is the result of coupling the firing
mechanism with the cocking movement. This prevents the tool from firing when dropped onto
a hard surface, no matter at which angle the impact occurs.
o Trigger safety device: the trigger safety device ensures that the fastener cannot be driven
simply by pulling the trigger only. The tool must be pressed against a firm surface before a
fastener can be released.
o Contact pressure safety device: the tool can be fired when pressed fully against a firm surface
with a force of 50 N
o Unintentional firing safety device: the tool is equipped with an unintentional firing safety
device. This prevents the tool from firing if the trigger is first pulled and the tool is pressed
against the work surface. The tool can be fired only when it is pressed correctly against the
work surface and the trigger subsequently pulled.
7.2.2
o The tool is powder actuated fastening with magazine and for hand held only
o It is completely independent from external power sources
o It is a "low velocity tool" due to Hilti proven piston principle as explained in 7.2.1

o The tool is intended for the use in the construction industry and associated trades for driving
fasteners of various types (nail, threaded studs and composite fasteners) mainly into steel. In
our case; flooring sheets and checkered plates will be fastened to the steel structures to form
walkways and safe access for people to work at the ACC.
o The tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when incorrectly used by untrained
personnel or not as directed; hence the consequences will be analyzed thoroughly.
o To operate: press the tool against the work surface at right angle and squeeze the trigger.
Driving the next fastener, push the cycling grip back toward the rear of the tool and then
forward position, and so onTool is equipped with power regulation from 1 to 4 (minimum to
maximum), adjustment control of the penetration will be done as required.
o Maintenance will be carried out only by people with sufficient knowledge of the tool or its
manufacturer/vendor
o When not in use, store in a dry place and locked up

Ensure that the working area is well lit.
The tool is for hand-held use only.
Keep other persons, children in particular, away from
the working area.
Before driving fasteners, check that no one is present
immediately behind or below the work surface.
Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause
injury should be removed from the working area.
Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
Keep the grips of the tool clean, dry and free form oil
and grease.
Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for
purposes for which it was not intended. Use the tool
only as directed and when it is in faultless condition.
Use the spall guard when the application permits.
Press the tool against the work surface at right angles.
Never leave a loaded tool unattended.
Always remove all cartridges and fasteners from the
tool before carrying out cleaning, servicing or maintenance and before storing the tool.
Never pull the magazine back with the hand. Under
certain circumstances, this could cock the tool, making it ready to fire. When the tool is ready to fire, a fastener could be driven inadvertently into a part of the
body.
When not in use, the tool must be unloaded and stored
in a dry place where it is locked up or out of reach of
children.
Check that moving parts function correctly without
sticking and that no parts are damaged. All parts must
be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary
for correct operation of the tool.
Check the tool for possible damage. Protective devices
and any parts that may have suffered slight damage
should be checked for correct operation and functionality before further use. Damaged safety devices
or other damaged parts must be replaced or repaired
properly by an authorized repair workshop unless otherwise indicated in the operating instructions.
Always hold the tool securely and at right angles to
the working surface. This will reduce the risk of the
fastener being deflected by the working surface.

Select the correct fastener guide, piston and fastener
combination for the job on hand. Failure to use the
correct combination of these items may result in damage to the tool and/or unsatisfactory fastening quality.
Never use worn or damaged pistons and do not attempt
to manipulate or modify the piston.
Use only fasteners of a type approved for use with the
tool.

7.7.2 Inserting the cartridge strip
1. Push the cartridge strip into the cartridge strip guideway on the side of the tool as far as it will go.
7.7.3 Driving the fastener with the single-fastening
tool
1. Press the tool at right angles against the working surface.
2. Drive the fastener by pulling the trigger.
3. Check the depth of penetration by using the gauge to
measure fastener stand-off.
4. Screw on the retaining flange (torque = 5 to 8 Nm).
5. Prepare the tool for driving the next fastener by pushing the cycling grip back toward the rear of the tool
and then forward to its original position.
-WARNINGDo not attempt to drive fasteners in existing holes unless
this is recommended by Hilti for a particular application
(e.g. DX-Kwik). Do not attempt to redrive a fastener.
Do not exceed the recommended maximum fastener
driving rate.
7.7.4 Power regulation
Adjust the power setting by turning the power regulation wheel on the tool.
Setting 1 = minimum
Setting 4 = maximum
1. Check the fastener stand-off.
2. If a fastener is not driven deeply enough, driving power
must be increased. Adjust the power regulation wheel
to the next higher setting. If a fastener is driven too
deeply, driving power must be decreased. Adjust the
power regulation wheel to the next lower setting.
3. Drive a fastener.
4. Check the stand-off.
5. If the fastener is still not driven deeply enough or,
respectively, is driven too deeply, steps 2 to 4 must
be repeated until the correct depth is achieved. If necessary, use a cartridge with a higher or lower power
rating.

8.2 Maintenance
Check all external parts of the tool for damage at regular intervals and check that all controls operate properly.
Do not operate the tool when parts are damaged or when
the controls do not operate properly. If necessary, have
the tool repaired at a Hilti service centre.
Use the tool only with the recommended cartridges and
power settings. Use of the wrong cartridges or use of
excessively high power settings may lead to premature
failure of parts of the tool.
The residues deposited inside DX tools contain substances that may be injurious to your health:
Do not inhale any dust or dirt while cleaning.
Keep the dust or dirt away from foodstuffs.
Wash your hands after cleaning the tool.
