intended. Use it only as directed and when in faultless condition.

▶ Before beginning work with the appliance, find out how to operate it correctly and about any

hazards associated with the materials it will be picking up and how these materials can be disposed of.

▶ Take the influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not use the appliance where there is

a risk of fire or explosion.

2.2.2 Personal safety

▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when working with the product.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the appliance may result in serious personal injury.

▶ The user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear

protection, protective gloves, safety footwear and breathing protection while the appliance is in use or while maintenance work on it is being carried out.

▶ Engage the wheel brakes so that the vacuum cleaner stands securely. If the wheel brakes are

disengaged the vacuum cleaner may run away out of control.

▶ 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.

2.2.3 Use and care of the appliance

▶ Never leave the appliance unattended. ▶ Do not deactivate the filter cleaning system when picking up hazardous dusts, especially when

the appliance is used in conjunction with electric tools that generate dust.

▶ Protect the appliance from frost. ▶ Clean the water level limiting device regularly with a brush, in accordance with the instructions,

and check it for signs of damage.

▶ When fitting the top section of the vacuum cleaner, take care to avoid pinching your fingers or

damaging the supply cord. This presents a risk of injury or damage.

▶ Check the appliance 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. In order to ensure faultless operation of the appliance, all parts must be fitted correctly and must meet the necessary requirements.

▶ Have the appliance serviced by a qualified repair person using only genuine Hilti spare parts. The

safety of the appliance can thus be maintained.

▶ Always unplug the supply cord from the power outlet when the appliance is not in use (during

breaks), before cleaning and maintenance and before changing the filter or accessories. This

preventive safety measure reduces the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

▶ Never pull the vacuum cleaner by the supply cord to a new working position. Do not run the wheels

of the vacuum cleaner over the supply cord.

▶ Do not transport the appliance by crane.

VC 20-UM VC 20-UME VC 40-UM VC 40-UME

▶ Close the hose inlet socket with the cap before transporting the appliance and when it is not

in use.

2.2.4 Electrical safety

▶ The plug on the supply cord of the appliance must match the outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets reduce risk of electric shock.

▶ Insert the plug in a suitable earthed/grounded power outlet which has been correctly and safely

installed and is in compliance with local regulations. If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of the power outlet’s earth/ground connection, have it checked by a qualified specialist.

▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, stoves

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

▶ Do not expose the appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an electric appliance will

increase the risk of electric shock.

▶ Check to ensure that the supply cord does not lie in a puddle of water. ▶ Check the appliance’s supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by Hilti Service if

damage is found. Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged.

▶ 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.
