The Material Picked Up - Hilti VC 20-U Manual De Instrucciones

▶ The electric supply cord may be replaced only with a cord of the type specified in the operating
instructions.
▶ 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.
▶ When operating an electric appliance outdoors, use only extension cords of a type suitable for
outdoor use. Use of an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶ In the event of an interruption in the electric supply, switch the appliance off and unplug it from
the power outlet.
▶ Use the electric tool power outlet only for the purposes described in the operating instructions.
▶ Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials)
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 by Hilti Service at regular intervals,
especially if used frequently for working on conductive materials.
2.2.5 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.
▶ Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the working
area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
▶ Do not operate the appliance 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.
▶ Use extra care when working on stairs.

2.2.6 The material picked up

▶ Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or explosive dusts (magnesium or aluminum dust
etc.) or dusts that present a health hazard. Do not use the appliance to pick up materials with a
temperature of over 60 °C (e.g. glowing cigarettes, hot ash).
▶ Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable, explosive or aggressive liquids (coolants and
lubricants, gasoline, solvents, acids (pH < 5), alkalies (pH > 12.5), etc.).
▶ Switch the appliance off immediately if foam or liquids escape from it.
▶ Wear protective gloves when using the vacuum cleaner to pick up hot materials up to a temperature
of 60 °C.
▶ When working with mineral drilling slurry, wear protective clothing and avoid skin contact with the
slurry (pH > 9: caustic).
▶ Avoid contact with alkaline or acidic liquids. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse 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.
