c) Do not expose appliances to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an appliance
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Check the appliance's supply cord at
regular intervals and have it replaced at
a Hilti service center if damage is found.
Check extension cords at regular inter-
vals and replace them if found to be dam-
aged.
e) Check the condition of the appliance and
its accessories. Do not operate the ap-
pliance and its accessories if damage is
found, if the appliance is incomplete or
if its controls cannot be operated fault-
lessly.
f) 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 present a risk of
electric shock.
g) Damaged or faulty switches must be re-
placed at a Hilti service center. Do not
use the appliance if it cannot be switched
on and/or off correctly.
h) Have the appliance repaired only by a
trained electrical specialist (Hilti service
center) using genuine Hilti spare parts.
Failure to observe this point may result
in risk of accident to the user.
i) 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.
j) When operating an appliance outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
k) In case of an interruption in the elec-
tric supply: Switch the appliance off and
unplug the supply cord.
l) Avoid using extension cords with multiple
power outlets and the simultaneous use of
several appliances connected to one exten-
sion cord.
m) Never spray the top section of the va-
cuum cleaner with water: this presents
an electrical hazard and may damage
the appliance.
n) Connectors on mains power cables, exten-
sion cords or supply cords must provide
protection from sprayed water.
o) Grip the plug when unplugging the supply
cord (do not pull or tug at the supply
cord).
p) Never pull the vacuum cleaner by the
supply cord to a new working position.
q) Never operate the appliance when it is
dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from
conductive materials) or dampness ad-
hering to the surface of the appliance
may, under unfavorable conditions, lead
to electric shock. Dirty or dusty appli-
ances should thus be checked at a Hilti
service center at regular intervals, espe-
cially if used frequently for working on
conductive materials.
r) Check to ensure that the supply cord
does not lie in a puddle of water.
5.7 Material picked up
a) Do not use the appliance to pick up flam-
mable or explosive dusts (magnesium
or aluminium dust etc.) or dusts which
present a health hazard.
b) The appliance is suitable for picking up
and collecting dry, non-flammable dusts.
c) Do not use the appliance to pick up
flammable, explosive or aggressive li-
quids (coolants and lubricants, gasoline,
solvents, acids (pH<5), alkalis (pH>12.5)
etc.)
d) Switch the appliance off immediately if
foam or liquids escape from it.
e) 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.
f) Wear protective gloves when using the
appliance to pick up hot materials.
g) Do not pick up objects or materials that
could cause injury by piercing through
