protection
2. Wear suitable working clothing.
Don't wear loose clothing, loose long hair or jewellery
as it can become caught up in moving parts of the elec-
tric tool. Wear non-slip shoes.
3. Make the working area safe.
Objects which could cause injury should be removed
from the working area. Ensure that the area is well lit.
When working, keep other persons outside the range of
the tool you are using.
4. Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account.
Don't expose the tool to rain or snow and don't opera-
te it in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
5. Check the tool each time before use.
Check the condition of the tool, the supply cord and
mains plug. Don't use it if it is damaged, incomplete or
if the controls cannot be operated correctly.
6. Use the correct system components
Ensure that the vacuum baseplate is equipped with the
correct connector for the hose from the pump and that
the connector and hose are locked together securely.
For working outdoors, use only extension cables of the
approved and correspondingly marked type.
Use only the recommended original Hilti accessories
and auxiliary equipment.
7. Use the tool only for the purposes for which it is
intended.
8. Apply a safe working method.
Avoid unfavourable body positions. Always ensure that
you have a safe stance. Don't expose the supply cord to
heat, oil or sharp edges. If the supply cord becomes
damaged while working, don't touch it – unplug the
mains plug immediately.

tool is switched off before connecting it to the mains
supply. Pull the plug out of the mains socket when the
tool is not in use, before maintenance.
11. Keep the electric tool and insert tools in good
condition.
Follow the care and maintenance instructions and repla-
ce insert tools in good time. Never operate the tool when
it is dirty or wet. Dust or dampness on the surface of the
tool make it slippery and difficult to hold and may, under
unfavourable conditions, present a risk of electric shock.
Repairs to the tool may be carried out only by an aut-
horised electrical specialist using original Hilti spare
parts. Failure to observe this point may result in dama-
ge to the tool or present a risk of accident. Accordingly,
if necessary, have the tool repaired at a Hilti service cen-
tre or authorised Hilti repair workshop.
In addition, the safety precautions for the correspon-
ding drilling machine must also be observed.
