The HILTI TE 30-A36 is a cordless (battery-powered) combihammer with a pneumatic hammering mechanism. It is designed for:

• Drilling in concrete, masonry, wood, and metal.

• Light to medium-duty chiseling on masonry and surface finishing work on concrete.

Important usage notes:

• Use only Hilti Li-ion batteries from the B 36 series with this product.

• Use only the Hilti battery chargers from the C4/36 series for these batteries.

The product is not suitable for working on hazardous materials or in a damp environment.

The HILTI TE 30-A36 is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch and an Active Torque Control (ATC) system. This system enhances drilling safety and convenience by causing a rapid shutdown if the power tool suddenly rotates around the drill bit axis. This can happen if the drill bit jams, hits a rebar, or is unintentionally tilted.

To ensure the ATC system can function correctly, always choose a working position where the body of the power tool is free to rotate in a counterclockwise direction (when running forward/clockwise). If rotational movement is not possible, the ATC system cannot react.

The HILTI TE 30-A36 has a motor protection system that monitors current input and motor temperature to prevent the tool from overheating.

If the motor is overloaded by applying excessive pressure, the tool’s performance will drop noticeably or it may stall completely. If this happens, release the pressure on the tool and let it run under no load for approximately 30 seconds to cool down.

The Li-ion battery’s state of charge and any malfunctions are shown by the LED display on the battery. To see the state of charge, press one of the two battery release buttons. Note that the state of charge cannot be displayed while the control switch is pressed and for up to 5 seconds after releasing it.

The LED indicators mean the following:

If the battery display LEDs blink, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

The noise and vibration values, determined in accordance with EN 60745, are as follows:

If you are experiencing a problem with your HILTI TE 30-A36, consult the table below. If the problem persists, contact Hilti Service.

If the HILTI TE 30-A36 is not working, check the following possible causes and actions. If the problem persists, contact Hilti Service.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow them may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

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.

Electrical safety

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• 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.

• 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 the battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

• 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 battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Personal safety

• Use the product only when it is in technically faultless condition. Never tamper with or modify the tool.

• Use the auxiliary grips supplied with the power tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall and cause injury to other persons.

• Always hold the tool securely with both hands on the insulated grips. Keep the grips clean and dry.

• You and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and respiratory protection while the tool is in use.

• Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool as it can be hot.

• Check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain woods, and concrete/masonry/stone can be harmful.

• Ensure the workplace is well ventilated and wear an appropriate respirator. Contact with or inhalation of dust may cause allergic reactions or respiratory diseases.

• Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve blood circulation in your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system.

Electrical safety

• Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes. External metal parts of the power tool can become live if you accidentally damage an electric cable.

Careful handling and use of electric tools

• Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.
