dry brush. Clean the outside of the appliance at regular
intervals with a cloth. Do not use a spray, high-pressure
water-jet system, steam pressure cleaning equipment or
running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the appliance. Always keep the grip
surfaces of the appliance free from oil and grease. Do not
use cleaning agents which contain silicone.
For vacuum cleaners of the class M, please note: The
en
appliance must be handled for cleaning and maintenance
in a way that avoids exposing maintenance personnel
and other persons to any hazards. Use filtered forced
ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment. Clean
the maintenance area in a way that prevents hazardous
substances escaping into the surrounding environment.
Vacuum off the outer surfaces of the appliance, wipe it
clean or seal it in suitable container or material before
removing it from an area contaminated with hazardous
substances. This will help to avoid distribution of the
hazardous dust deposited on it.
When maintenance or repairs are carried out, all con-
taminated parts which cannot be satisfactorily cleaned
must be packed in impermeable bags and disposed of in
compliance with the applicable disposal regulations.
A vacuum cleaner of the class M must be subjected to a
technical inspection by Hilti Service or a trained person
at least once a year to check, for example, for damage to
the filter, air leakage, and to ensure correct operation of
controlling devices.
8.5 Care of the Li-ion battery
Avoid ingress of moisture.
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first time.
In order to achieve maximum battery life, stop discharging
the battery as soon as a significant drop in performance
is noticed.
NOTE
If use of the tool continues, further battery discharge will
be stopped automatically before the battery cells suffer
damage. The tool switches itself off.
