Frequently Asked Questions - TE 30-C-AVR HILTI

How do I change the chisel position on the TE 30-C-AVR?

To adjust the chisel, turn the mode selector to the chiseling position (hammer with arrow). Rotate the chisel to the desired angle, then turn the selector back to lock.

What is the AVR feature and how does it help?

AVR (Active Vibration Reduction) is a system that minimizes vibration transmitted to the user, reducing fatigue and improving comfort during prolonged use.

Can I use this drill for mixing mortar?

No, the TE 30-C-AVR is a rotary hammer designed for drilling and chiseling. Using it for mixing may overload the motor and damage the tool.

How often should I replace the carbon brushes?

Carbon brushes should be inspected every 50–100 hours of use. Replace them when the length is less than 6 mm to prevent damage to the commutator.

What type of lubricant should I use for the SDS chuck?

Use Hilti SDS lubricant or a high-quality lithium grease. Apply a small amount to the chuck shank every few months to ensure smooth operation.

Why does the drill stop suddenly during operation?

The tool is equipped with a safety clutch. If the bit jams, the clutch disengages to prevent injury. Release the trigger, remove the obstruction, and restart.

How do I clean the dust extraction system?

Remove the dust attachment and tap it gently to empty debris. Clean the filter and vents with a soft brush. Never use water or solvents.

Is this drill suitable for overhead drilling?

Yes, but use the auxiliary handle and wear protective gear. The AVR system helps reduce fatigue when working overhead.

What is the maximum bit diameter for concrete?

The maximum recommended drilling diameter in concrete is 30 mm with a solid bit. For larger diameters, use a core bit with a dedicated adapter.

Can I use the drill in hammer mode without rotation?

Yes, set the mode selector to the chisel symbol (hammer only). This locks the rotation and enables chiseling or light demolition work.

NOTE

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment

of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

a)

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instruction to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1.1 Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat- s. a power tool. Distractions can cause you to control.

5.1.2 Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never battery modify the plug in any way. Do not use any an apter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never atter modify the plug in any way. Do not use any a apter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet tions. Water entering a power tool will increase risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges moving parts. Damaged orentangled cords increase theriskofelectricshock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loc unavoidable, use a residual current device protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces of electric shock.

5.1.3 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and common sense when operating a power to not use a power tool while you are tired the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicat moment of inattention while operating power may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always eye protection. Protective equipment such as mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or protection used for appropriate conditions will personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the s is in the off-position before connecting to source and/or battery pack, picking up or the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin switch or energising power tools that have on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench befoing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power too in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing an ance at all times. This enables better cont power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and glow away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jev or long hair can be caught in moving part
g) If devices are provided for the connection extraction and collection facilities, ensure t are connected and properly used. Use of collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.1.4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the co-power tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch turn it on and off. Any power tool that controlled with the switch is dangerous and repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
