2.2
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.

Carelessly routed supply cords can constitute trip hazards and lead to injuries.
▶ Do not operate the product 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.
▶ With vacuum cleaners it is necessary to ensure an adequate rate of air exchange (L) in the room in
situations where the expelled air is returned to the room.
2.3
Personal safety
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the product. Do not use
the product while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the product can result in serious personal injury.
▶ Avoid unusual body positions. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
▶ During use and maintenance of the product, the user and the other persons in the vicinity must wear
personal protective equipment suitable for the application. Dealing with certain materials necessitates
the use of additional protective equipment, information in the section headed "Material vacuumed up"
→ page 4.
▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of a vacuum cleaner can reduce dust-related hazards.

▶ This product can be used by children 8 years of age or older and by persons with physical, sensory
or mental disabilities or little relevant experience or know-how if they are supervised or have received
instruction on the safe use of the product and the resulting hazards. Do not allow children to play with the
product. Do not allow unsupervised children to clean the device or to carry out user-maintenance tasks.
2.4
Electrical safety
▶ Do not expose the product to rain or moisture. Water entering an electric device will increase the risk of
electric shock.
▶ Never operate the product when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or
dampness on the surface of the product may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock.
Have dirtied or dusty products checked at regular intervals by Hilti Service, especially if they are used
frequently for working on conductive materials.
▶ Before carrying out care and maintenance work, changing filters or accessories or leaving the product
temporarily out of use (e.g. for work breaks), disconnect the product from the primary power supply
(disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet, remove the battery). This safety precaution
prevents the product from starting accidentally.
▶ Use an antistatic suction hose in order to avoid electrostatic effects.
2.5
Careful handling and use of the product
▶ Never leave the product unattended.
▶ Operate the vacuum cleaner only with the main filter installed and intact. Always check the filter prior to
each use of the vacuum cleaner.
▶ Protect the product from frost.
▶ Check the product and its accessories for any damage. Guards, safety devices and any slightly damaged
parts must be checked carefully to ensure that they function faultlessly and as intended. Check that
moving parts function faultlessly, without sticking, and that no parts are damaged. All parts must be
fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary for correct operation of the product.
