installed and is in compliance with local regula-
tions.
c) If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of the
power outlet's earth/ground connection, have it
checked by a qualified specialist.
d) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
e) Do not expose appliances to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering an appliance will increase the
risk of electric shock.
f) Check the appliance's supply cord at regular in-
tervals and have it replaced at a Hilti service
center if damage is found. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if damage is
found.
g) Check the condition of the appliance and its ac-
cessories. Do not operate the appliance and its
accessories if damage is found, if the appliance is
incomplete or if its controls cannot be operated
faultlessly.
h) 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.
i) The electric supply cord may be replaced only
with a cord of the type specified in the operating
instructions.
j) Damaged or faulty switches must be replaced at
a Hilti service center. Do not use the appliance if
it cannot be switched on and/or off correctly.
k) Have the appliance repaired only by a trained elec-
trical specialist (Hilti service center) using genuine
Hilti spare parts. Failure to observe this point may
result in risk of accident to the user.
l) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the appliance. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
m) When operating an electric appliance outdoors,
use only extension cords of a type suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
n) In case of an interruption in the electric supply:
Switch the appliance off and unplug the supply
cord.
o) Avoid using extension cords with multiple power
outlets and the simultaneous use of several ap-
pliances connected to one extension cord.
p) Never spray the top section of the vacuum cleaner
with water: this presents an electrical hazard and
may damage the appliance.
q) Connectors on mains power cables, extension
cords or supply cords must provide protection
from sprayed water.
r) Grip the plug when unplugging the supply cord
(do not pull or tug at the supply cord).
s) Never pull the vacuum cleaner by the supply cord
to a new working position.
Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or
t)
wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive ma-
terials) 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 at a Hilti service center
at regular intervals, especially if used frequently
for working on conductive materials.
u) Check to ensure that the supply cord does not lie
in a puddle of water.
v) Do not use the power outlet or accessories when
the hands are wet.
5.7 Material picked up
a) Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable
or explosive dusts (magnesium or aluminium dust
etc.) or dusts which present a health hazard.
b) Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable,
explosive or aggressive liquids (coolants and lu-
bricants, gasoline, solvents, acids (pH<5), alkalis
(pH>12.5) etc.)
c) Switch the appliance off immediately if foam or
liquids escape from it.
d) Avoid contact with alkaline or acidic liquids. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush 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.
e) Wear protective gloves when using the vacuum
cleaner to pick up hot materials with a max. tem-
perature of 60°C.
f) Do not pick up objects or materials that could
cause injury by piercing through the dust bag
(e.g. pointed or sharp objects).
5.8 Thermal
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up hot ma-
terials with a temperature of over 60°C (glowing
cigarettes, hot ash, etc.).
