    2. Description

    2.1 PurposeThe PS 200 Ferroscan System is intended for the local-isation, depth determination and diameter estimation ofreinforcing bars.

    2.2 OverviewThe tool can be used for various concrete reinforcementdetection applications. The scanning mode used dependson the application. These fall broadly into the followingcategories:

    Application Measuring ModeHelping avoid reinforce- Quickscan Detection,ment hits when drilling Imagescan or Blockscanor coringPosition and diameter Imagescan

    determination for loadchecksCoverage determination Quickscan Recordingover large areas

    2.3 FunctionsThe System functions by running the Scanner directlyover the structure surface. The data collected is storedin the Scanner until it can be transferred to the Monitor.The Monitor is used for storing large amounts of data,viewing the scans and also can be used for evaluation.

    The data can also be downloaded into the PC. The PC-software offers advanced evaluation options, the pos-sibility to quickly print out complete reports and alsodata archiving.

    2.3.1 Quickscan DetectionThe Scanner is run over the surface perpendicular to thereinforcing bars. The position and depth of the rein-forcing bars can be determined and marked on the sur-face.

    2.3.2 Quickscan Recording

    The Scanner is used as in 2.3.1 Quickscan Detection.The data however is recorded as the Scanner movesover the surface. This data is then transferred to the

    Monitor where it can be evaluated and the average cov-er determined. If the data is downloaded to the PC, thisinformation can be evaluated, archived and a report print-ed. Enhanced evaluation options enable Quickscans tobe imported and evaluated automatically.

    2.3.3 ImagescanA reference grid is fixed to the area of interest using theadhesive tape supplied. After selecting the Imagescanmode in the Scanner, the rows and columns of the gridare scanned, following the prompts on the display. Thedata is transferred to the Monitor where the image canbe viewed and evaluated. The position of the reinforc-ing bars can be referenced to the surface. Additionally,the depth and diameter can be determined at any point.

    If the data is downloaded to the PC-software, this infor-mation can be evaluated as in the Monitor, with the addi-tional feature that a series of points can be recordedalong with associated depth and diameter, archived anda report printed.

    2.3.4 BlockscanA reference grid is attached to the area of interest usingthe adhesive tape supplied. After selecting Blockscanmode, the user is prompted to select the first area toscan. Thereafter, an Imagescan is made. After complet-ing the Imagescan, the user is prompted to select the

    next area to scan. This should be adjacent to the previ-ous area. Move the grid and then scan as before. Repeatup to a maximum of 3x3 Imagescans. The data is trans-ferred to the Monitor. The Imagescans are automatical-ly stitched together to form a larger image. The rein-forcement layout over the whole area can be viewed.Individual Imagescans can be selected in order to "zoomin” and evaluate the image.

    If the data is downloaded to the PC-software, this infor-mation can be evaluated as in the Monitor, with the addi-tional feature that a series of points can be recordedalong with associated depth and diameter, archived anda report printed.

    -WARNING-If any one or more of these conditions are not fulfilled,accuracy and precision may be compromised.

    The ratio bar spacing:coverage (s:c) is often a limitingfactor in resolving individual bars.

    This is defined as:

    4.2.1 Detection and Measurement Range andAccuracy

    Minimum bar spacing of 36 mm (1.4 inch) to resolveindividual bars or bar spacing:coverage(s:c) 2 :1 whichev-er is greater. A minimum depth of 10 mm (0.4 inch) isrequired for a depth reading.

    The starting point for measuring (e.g. from the edge ofthe reference grid) should be at least 30 mm (1.2 inch)from the nearest bar.

    7. Operation

    7.1 Carrying and using the systemThe system can be used either with the Monitor leftbehind when the user is scanning or the Monitor beingcarried in the PSA 61 Soft Pouch on the PSA 60 CarryBelt.The first carrying option is advantageous when work-ing in areas that are difficult to access and maximum

    mobility is required such as on a scaffold or ladder. Whenthe Scanner memory is full (9 Imagescans made, 1complete Blockscan or 30 m of Quickscan have beenrecorded), the user must return to the Monitor to down-load the data. The Monitor can be kept nearby. (E.g. atthe bottom of the scaffold, in a vehicle, in the site officeetc). When the user intends to make more scans thancan fit in the Scanner memory and wishes to avoid repeat-ed journeys to the Monitor, it can be carried on the beltor using the strap supplied over the shoulder.

    -CAUTION-The temperature inside a vehicle that is left in sunlightcan easily exceed the maximum storage temperaturefor the PS 200. Damage to one or more components ofthe PS 200 may occur if it is stored in temperaturesexceeding 60°C or 158°F.

    7.2.4.4 Delete DataDeletes all data contained in the Scanner and can onlybe accessed if data is contained in the memory. This isintended for use in emergency when there is redundantdata in the Scanner, that you are sure is not needed andwhen you are not able to download it to the Monitor.

    If data is contained in the memory, the bar that appearsnext to the diskette symbol is filled. If not, the bar isshown empty.

    -WARNING-This may result in permanent data loss. Data that hasnot been transferred to the Monitor will be permanent-ly deleted.

    Press the Down Arrow followed by Confirm to delete orCancel to return to settings menu.

    7.2.5 QuickscanQuickscan can be used to quickly detect bar positionsand depths that are then subsequently marked on thesurface. This is termed Quickscan Detection.

    Alternatively, the data can be recorded and evaluated inthe Monitor or PC-software. Thereby the average cov-

    er over the reinforcement over large stretches of the sur-face can be easily determined. This is termed QuickscanRecording.

    -CAUTION-The Scanner only detects reinforcing bars that lie per-pendicular to the direction of travel. Bars that lie paral-lel to the direction of travel will not be detected. There-fore ensure that the object is scanned in both the hori-

    zontal and vertical direction. An incorrect depth may becalculated for bars that lie diagonal to the direction oftravel.

    Switch on the Scanner. The Quickscan icon is automat-ically the first selected.

    Select Quickscan from the Main Menu. You are askedto calibrate the Scanner.

    The bar is positioned along the centre line of the Scan-ner and may be marked on the surface using a PUA 70Marker. The depth accuracy can be improved by enter-ing the reinforcing bar diameter if this is known. Referto section 7.2.5.3.

    This symbol may appear when the Scanner is beingmoved over the surface. It indicates that the Scanner isbeing moved too fast to be able to process all the sig-nals being created. The maximum speed is 0.5m/s or20inch/s. If the symbol appears during Quickscan Detec-tion press Confirm and measure again. During QuickscanRecording press Confirm. You will need to begin theRecording operation again from the original start pointor from where the last marker was set.

    7.2.5.2 Quickscan RecordingTo record the position and depth of all reinforcing barsdetected, place the Scanner on the surface and pressRecord.A diskette symbol appears in the display, indicating that theScanner is recording data. Mark the start point on the sur-face using a PUA 70 Marker. Move the Scanner over thesurface. Reinforcing bars that lie perpendicular to the direc-tion of travel will be detected and automatically recorded.Ensure that the Settings are correctly set before begin-ning recording.

    -WARNING-Always carry out an Imagescan prior to Quickscan record-ing in order to:– establish the direction of the uppermost layer of rein-

    forcement.– Minimise the risk of measuring on a spliced bar.– Immediately see if there are any ferrous materials in

    the concrete that may affect the accuracy of the result.

    -CAUTION-Do not press Record before placing the Scanner at thepoint where the scanning should begin. Failure to dothis may result in incorrect or misleading measurements.Up to 30 m (98 ft) can be recorded before it is neces-

    sary to download the data to the Monitor. It is also pos-sible to record several separate stretches (max. 10) thatadd up to a maximum of 30 m.

    To stop recording, press Record again. Mark the end ofthe stretch that has been scanned with a PUA 70 Marker.

    -WARNING-Do not remove the Scanner from the surface before stop-ping the recording or setting a marker. Failure to do thismay result in incorrect or misleading measurements.For information on setting a marker, refer to section7.2.5.4

    The data may be transferred to the Monitor. Refer to sec-tion 7.4

    7.2.5.3 Quickscan SettingsThe Quickscan settings are located on the left hand sideof the display. They can be adjusted before any record-ing takes place. Use the Arrow keys and Confirm toaccess the setting.

    Minimum DepthUse this setting when scanning a surface and lookingspecifically for bars that are located above a certain depth.E.g. if checking for 40mm minimum cover, set the val-ue to 40 mm. (For quality assurance measurements addan extra 2mm to account for any accuracy limitations).

    The LED will only light if reinforcing bar is detected thatlies within 40mm of the surface.

    Select the Minimum Depth function using the Arrow keys. Press Confirm .

    Setting Minimum Depth

    Minimum Depth function disabled

    When the value is set to 0 the function is deactivatedand appears as above. Enter the required minimum depth

    using the Arrow keys. Press Confirm to make the set-ting. The tool returns to the Main Menu.

    Bar DiameterThis setting should be used if the bar diameter is known.It may improve the accuracy of the depth measurement.

    Select the Bar Diameter function using the Arrow keys.

    Press Confirm.

    If no bar diameter is selected, the Scanner will calculate

    the depth as the middle bar diameter of the relevant stan-dard setting range were set.

    -NOTE-The bar diameter previously set will be stored in theScanner after it has been switched off. Ensure that the

    correct bar diameter is given when using the Scanneragain.

    Scan DirectionThis setting is used to set the direction in which QuickscanRecording is performed. Although it has no direct effecton any measurement values subsequently obtained inthe Monitor or PC-Software, it helps to match the result-ing chart and depth values in the PC-software with theactual structure surface.

    If such an obstacle is encountered, a marker may be set.This interrupts the scan and allows the user to safelyremove the Scanner from the surface, place it beyondthe obstruction and then continue scanning. It also indi-cates where certain objects are located within a scan,providing additional information for referencing the scandata to the actual surface.

    To set the marker press and hold Confirm , whilst inrecording mode. The diskette symbol will be crossedout, indicating that recording has been suspended anda marker has been set.

    Then lift the Scanner from the surface whilst still hold-ing the Confirm key depressed. If necessary, mark theposition on the surface using a PUA 70 Marker. Placethe Scanner back on the surface beyond the obstacle,release Confirm and continue scanning. The marker willbe shown as a vertical line in the scan data when viewedon the Monitor or PC-Software.

    7.2.6 ImagescanImagescan is used to create an image of the reinforce-

    ment layout. The depth and diameter of the bars can bedetermined.

    Firstly, a PSA 10 or PSA 11 Reference Grid has to befixed to the wall. Use the adhesive tape supplied. Thistape is designed specifically for sticking to concretestructures and can be torn off the roll at the correct lengthby hand. For most surfaces a 100 mm (4 inch) piece oftape at each corner is enough to secure the grid. Par-ticularly moist or dusty surfaces may require a lengthof tape along each side of the grid.

    Alternatively, a grid can be marked directly on the sur-

    face – Mark a 4×4 grid with 150 mm spacing betweeneach parallel line, using a straight edge (such as a pieceof wood) as a guide.

    Switch on the Scanner. Move to the Imagescan Icon.The battery level is given, together with the number ofImagescans currently held in the memory out of a max-imum of 9.

    Select Imagescan from the Main Menu. You are askedto calibrate the Scanner.

    Ensure the Scanner is held in the air well away from anyobjects, especially those that are made of or may con-tain metal and press Confirm. The Scanner calibratesand the Imagescan screen is displayed.

    -WARNING-Calibrating too close to metallic objects may lead toincorrect or misleading measurements. Ensure the Scan-ner is at least 0.5m or 2 feet from all metallic objectsbefore calibrating. If unsure of any measurements, con-tact Hilti or an acknowledged Ferroscan expert beforeproceeding.

    A representation of the grid appears on the display witha suggested start point. This is always upper left and willsuffice for most scans. Image data will only be gener-ated for areas of the grid that have been scanned bothvertically and horizontally. In some cases obstacles onthe scan area may prevent this (E.g. a pipe penetratinga beam). The start point can then be changed to opti-

    mise the area scanned in such a case. Change the startpoint using the Arrow keys.

    7.2.8 Error Messages in the Scanner when startingor measuring

    Graphical error messages may appear on the Scanner.Generally, a stop symbol indicates a fatal error with theScanner. In this case, the Scanner requires service at aHilti Repair Centre.

    or

    Either of these symbols may occur immediately afterthe Scanner is switched on. They indicate a possibleelectronic defect. Switch the Scanner off and then backon again. If the error message appears again, the toolwill need to be sent to Hilti for repair.

    An exclamation symbol indicates an error either due touser error or an error that can be solved by the user.This symbol may appear during calibration. It indicatesthat the background magnetic field level is too high. Itoccurs either because the Scanner is too close to a met-al object during calibration or indicates the presence ofa strong magnetic field. Ensure that the Scanner is heldwell away from all objects and attempt recalibration.Ensure that there are no generators of strong magnet-ic fields (E.g. machinery or electrical cables) runningwhen you measure.

    -WARNING-If strong magnetic fields are present in the area you wishto measure, do not calibrate when the source of the mag-netic field is activated. The source of the strong mag-netic field must be deactivated for the entire time mea-surements are taken. Failure to do so may lead to incor-rect detection results.

    This symbol may appear either when trying to enter theImagescan or Blockscan measuring mode, when tryingto begin a new Imagescan within Blockscan measuringmode or when trying to start Quickscan Recording. Itindicates that the memory allocated for the operation isfull and that no more data can be stored. Either transferthe data to the Monitor or delete the Scanner memory.

    -WARNING-Deleting the Scanner memory may result in permanentdata loss. Data that has not been transferred to the Mon-itor will be permanently deleted.

    This symbol may appear during any type of measure-ment when the Scanner is being moved over the sur-face. It indicates that the Scanner is being moved toofast to be able to process all the signals being created.The maximum speed is 0.5m/s or 20inch/s.

    If the symbol appears during Quickscan detection, PressConfirm and measure again. During Quickscan Recording

    press Confirm . You will need to begin the Recordingoperation again from the original start point or fromwhere the last marker was set. During Imagescan, pressConfirm and repeat the row or column you were scanning.In all cases, move the Scanner more slowly over thesurface.

    This symbol may appear if the Scanner has been movedin the wrong direction during scanning. E.g. you beginscanning from right to left but during the scan move thescanner right. The warning does not appear immediately,but only when moved 15cm or more in the wrong direction.

    7.3.5 ImagescansImagescans depict a representation of the reinforcementlayout. The layout can be referenced on the surface, thedepth determined at any point and the diameter esti-mated at any point.

    Select Analyse … to analyse the image.

    7.3.5.1 Analysing the ImageThe bar depth and diameter may be determined at anypoint on the image. Other analysis options include view-ing horizontal slices through the image at different depthsand a calibration option for high-precision cover check-ing.

    View Range + and View Range – raises and lowers thedepth at which the scan is viewed. This is useful whentrying to find which bars lie closest to the surface andfor an overall impression of how level the reinforcementis compared to the concrete surface.Cal. Depth/Ø – Used to calculate the depth and diame-ter of a bar at the point where the cursor lies.Hide Grid – Switch the grid on and off

    -WARNING-When measuring to bars that are welded, be aware that

    accuracy specifications may not be met. It is not possi-ble to determine if bars are welded at their intersectionpoints from the image. If in doubt, open the structure atan intersection to determine if the reinforcement is welded.

    7.3.5.1.1 Selecting the View RangePress View Range – to reduce the image depth viewed.

    The current depth range viewed is displayed in the infor-mation bar at the bottom of the screen (e.g. 0–85 mm).

    Use View Range – and View Range + to move up anddown through the image. In this way it is possible todetermine which bars are lying closest to the surfaceand how level the reinforcement is in relation to the sur-face. In the example below, the horizontal bars are thoselying closest to the surface.

    Note that the depth value given is an estimate and doesnot conform to the specifications in section 4.0. To returnto the original view, press View Range + until the max-imum view range is displayed.

    7.3.5.1.2 Calculating Depth and DiameterMove the cursor to the point on the bar you are inter-

    ested in by using the cursor keys. The position of thecursor is displayed in the information bar at the bottomof the screen. Press Cal. Depth/Ø.

  • 8/9/2019 Operating instructions PS 200_en.pdf

    25/3455

    en

    To display the depth and diameter at that point pressCal. Depth/Ø. The tool calculates the depth and the diam-eter.

    The position of the point calculated is displayed as asmall target with an arrow either side giving the directionof the bar. The depth and diameter of the bar are dis-played in the information bar at the bottom of the screentogether with the coordinates of the point calculated.

    If no depth or diameter values are given, they lie outsidewhat could be reasonably expected. When calculatingdepth and diameter, it is worth noting several points:

    -WARNING-Diameter calculations are based on one of the followingstandards for steel reinforcement:Standard Origin/applicability of standard

    DIN 488 European UnionASTM A 615/A 615M-01b United States of AmericaCAN/CSA-G30, 18-M92 CanadaJIS G 3112 Japan

    Diameters given for bars that do not conform to one ofthese standards may not fall within the accuracy spec-ifications.

    -WARNING-The diameter calculation is an estimate and intended toindicate probable diameter only. If the bar diameter mustbe known with 100% certainty, the structure must be

    opened and measured physically.

    -WARNING-Never attempt to determine the diameter of a bar by scalingit from the image. Whilst the centre of the bars in the imagecorrespond with those in the structure, the image is nota scaled drawing of the bars. The width of the bars shownare representative of the signal strength measured in theScanner. Therefore, small bars close to the surface may

    appear a similar size to larger bars lower down.-NOTE-The most accurate and reliable diameter and depth val-ues are obtained at points on the bar as far away fromother bars as possible and away from edges of the scanthat are parallel to the bar in question. Effects at theedges of the scan may affect bars lying parallel typical-ly up to 100 mm from the edge.

    Other influencing factors on the depth and diameteraccuracy are rough scanning surfaces, ferrous or mag-netic elements in the concrete mix, a smooth scanning

    technique starting at the correct point on the grid andfollowing the grid lines exactly and a sufficient ratiobetween coverage and bar spacing.

    Refer also to section 7.5 for further advice on how toget the most out of your tool.

    -NOTE-If the bar diameter is known, it can be entered using FixDiameter. See below.

    Fixing the diameterIf the diameter is known, it should be input as this improvesthe accuracy and reliability of the depth determination.

    Press Fix Diameter.

    Set the diameter to On using the left or right cursor keys.

  • 8/9/2019 Operating instructions PS 200_en.pdf

    26/3456

    en

    Move to the diameter input field using the up or downcursor keys and select the diameter.

    Press Done to confirm the selection and return to thescan. The fix diameter symbol appears in the status barto the right of the display.

    Calibrating the ImageThis option is intended for the highest precision mea-surements and can be used when the depth and diam-eter of a bar is already known at a certain point. It shouldbe used with caution as improper use can lead to incor-rect depths being displayed. The image will be calibrat-ed depending on the information given and the deptharound the point calibrated will be given with the utmostaccuracy. It is normally only of use to manufacturers ofprecast concrete elements.

    Depths and diameters of bars in a different part of thescan may lie outside the specification if the calibrationis applied.

    After moving the cursor to the point where the depthand diameter are known, select Calibrate.

    Set Calibration to On and input the depth and diameterat this point. Press Done to confirm and return to thescan. The tool checks whether the values entered areplausible based on the information it has for that point.If this is not the case the calibration will not be allowed.

    The calibration symbol appears in the status bar to theleft of the display. If the information input was accurate,the depth and diameter around the point will be givenwith an increased accuracy.

    -WARNING-Calibrating the scan with incorrect values can lead to depthreadings outside of the quoted accuracy specifications.

    7.3.7 QuickscansQuickscans recorded in the Scanner can be analysed,giving information about the amount and average depthof bars over a large area of a structure.

    The Quickscan is displayed as a graph containing a seriesof vertical bars or spikes. The horizontal axis representsthe distance travelled along the structure. The verticalaxis represents the signal strength or after the analysisthe depth. Each spike represents a reinforcing bar.

    Select Analyse … to analyse the Quickscan.

    -NOTE-

    To carry out an accurate analysis, the diameter of thebars must be known and entered. If the bar diameterhas been fixed in the Scanner, this diameter will be auto-matically set in the Monitor. If the diameter has not beenfixed in the Scanner, it will be automatically fixed at adefault of 10mm. If the real bar diameter is different, itmust be set when calculating the depth in Fix Diameter.

    7.3.7.1 Analysing QuickscansSelect Analyse 

    In the information bar at the bottom of the screen, thefollowing information is displayed:

    - The length of the Quickscan- The current set diameter of the bars- The current depth at which the trigger is set- The number of bars at or above the current trig-

    ger depth

    that the data transfer has been interrupted or commu-nication cannot be established. Before trying to trans-fer data again, ensure that the Scanner and Monitor arewell within the maximum range of 0.5 m or 20 inchesand that they are correctly aligned. Ensure that the atmos-phere is dust-free as far as possible and that the infrared windows on both Scanner and Monitor are cleanand relatively free from scratches. Excessively scratchedwindows must be replaced by Hilti Service.

    During data transfer, try to hold the Monitor and Scan-ner correctly aligned for the entire period that data isbeing transmitted.

    This symbol may appear while transferring data fromthe scanner to the Monitor. Try to correctly align themin order the error symbol disappears. If not, switch thetools off and on again. If the error message reappears,the tool will need to be sent to Hilti for repair.

    In the event that data transfer is interrupted, data can-not be lost. Data is deleted from the Scanner only whenall scans have been successfully transferred and theConfirm key has been pressed on the Scanner.

    7.5 Tips for scanning and evaluation

    Object too narrow to scan or reinforcement is too closeto an exterior corner to be scanned properly.Use a thin overlay board that extends beyond the edge(s)of the structure and scan on the board beyond the edge.Note that the thickness of the board must be deductedfrom any depth measurements. In the PC-software it ispossible to enter the thickness of the board. This willthen be automatically deducted from any depth mea-surements.

    Surface is rough.Rough surfaces (E.g concrete surfaces where the aggre-gate is exposed) cause additional noise in the signal andmay mean that the depth or diameter to a bar cannot bedetermined. In such cases it is also advantageous toscan on a thin overlay board. The same reminder aboutdeducting the thickness of the board applies as above.

    "Interference” in imagesInterference in images may occur due to:

    - Scraps of reinforcement- Tie Wires where rebars cross- Aggregates with ferromagnetic properties- Ends of bars lying parallel to the scanning plane- Ends of bars lying orthogonal to the scanning plane

    (standing bars)

    -NOTE-

    Diameters and depths calculated in the region whereinterference occurs must be treated cautiously as theymay be inaccurate.

    8. Care and Maintenance

    8.1 Cleaning and dryingOnly clean the tools with a clean, soft cloth. Moisten the

    cloth with pure alcohol or a little water if necessary.

    -CAUTION-Do not use any other liquids as these may affect the plas-tic parts.

    8.2 StorageDo not store the tool when it is wet.Dry and clean the tool, case and accessories before stor-

    ing.Remove the batteries before storing.After storing for a long period of time, carry out a mea-surement check before use.Observe the temperature limits when storing the tool(–20°C to +60°C or –4°F to +158°F), especially in win-ter and summer and when storing the tool in a vehicle.

    8.3 TransportWhen transporting the tool use the original Hilti case.

    -WARNING-Always remove the Battery Packs before transporting thetool.

    8.4 Removing the Scanner wheelsThe Scanner wheels can be removed either for cleaning

    or replacement. Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, loosenand remove the screw at the centre of each wheel.

    Gently withdraw the wheel from the axle whilst holdingthe other end of the axle or wheel. If required, carefullyclean the housing or wheel in accordance with section8.1 above before refitting it on the axle and replacing thescrew.

    -CAUTION-Do not overtighten the screw when refitting the wheel asthis may result in damage to the wheel and axle. Onlyreplace on wheel at the time.

    Scanning columns and beams for penetrationsIn such cases where the reinforcement must not be dam-aged, ensure that imagescans are made on at least threesides of the component in order that shear bars (thatare placed at angles in the concrete) can also be identi-fied.

    Simple diameter checkA simple rough check of the diameter of the first layercan be made by deducting the depth of the second per-pendicular layer from that of the first. This assumes how-

    ever that the two layers touch each other or are at leastvery close.

    7.6 PC-SoftwareThe PC-Software offers extended analysis capabilities,easy report generation and printing, data archiving, imageand data export to other software and automated batchprocessing of large amounts of data.

    Details for installation are found on the CD-ROM. Instruc-tions for use are contained in the help system of the soft-ware.

    10. Disposal

    -CAUTION-Incorrect disposal can lead to the following:● Burning plastic parts can emit fumes that lead to the poisoning of people nearby.

    ● Batteries can explode, thereby causing poisoning and burning (by fire and corrosive burns) as well aspoisoning the environment if they are damaged or heated excessively.● Careless disposal may enable unauthorised people to use the tool in an incorrect way, thereby injuring them-

    selves and others as well as polluting the environment.

    Hilti tools contain a high proportion of reusable materials. The prerequisite for recycling materials is thecorrect separation of the parts. In many countries, Hilti is equipped to accept your old tool for recycling. Formore information, ask your Hilti Customer Service or Sales Representative.
