▶ Do not touch the supply cord or extension cord if they are damaged while
working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged
supply cords or extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
▶ The electric supply cord may be replaced only with a cord of the type specified in the
operating instructions.
▶ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the appliance. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ When operating an electric appliance outdoors, use only extension cords of a
type suitable for outdoor use. Use of an extension cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶ In the event of an interruption in the electric supply, switch the appliance off and
unplug it from the power outlet.
▶ Use the electric tool power outlet only for the purposes described in the operating
instructions.
▶ Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from
conductive materials) or dampness adhering to the surface of the appliance may,
under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock. Dirty or dusty appliances
should thus be checked by Hilti Service at regular intervals, especially if used
frequently for working on conductive materials.
2.2.6 Workplace
▶ Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
▶ Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated
workplace may result in damage to the health.
▶ Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed
from the working area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
▶ Do not operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric appliances cause sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
▶ Use extra care when working on stairs.
2.2.7 The material picked up
▶ Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or explosive dusts (magnesium
or aluminum dust etc.) or dusts that present a health hazard. Do not use the
appliance to pick up materials with a temperature of over 60 °C (e.g. glowing
cigarettes, hot ash).
▶ Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable, explosive or aggressive liquids
(coolants and lubricants, gasoline, solvents, acids (pH < 5), alkalies (pH > 12.5),
etc.).
▶ Switch the appliance off immediately if foam or liquids escape from it.
▶ Wear protective gloves when using the vacuum cleaner to pick up hot materials
up to a temperature of 60 °C.
▶ When working with mineral drilling slurry, wear protective clothing and avoid
skin contact with the slurry (pH > 9: caustic).
▶ Avoid contact with alkaline or acidic liquids. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse
with water. In the event of the liquid coming into contact with the eyes, rinse the
eyes with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
