8. Operation

8.1 Operation without using the built-in electric

socket

- NOTE -

Check that the appliance is switched off (control switch
in “0” position) before plugging the supply cord into the
electric socket.
1. Plug the supply cord into the electric socket.
2. Turn the control switch to the “MAN” position.

- NOTE -

The appliance starts after about 5 seconds (soft start
function).

8.2 Operation using the built-in electric socket

- NOTE -

– Check that the electric tool is switched off before plug-

ging the supply cord into the electric socket.

– The safety precautions and other information listed in

the operating instructions for the electric tool con-
nected to the appliance must be observed.

– Check that the maximum power input rating of the

electric tool connected to the appliance is within the
maximum permitted power rating for the electric sock-
et (Please refer to the table “Technical data” and the
information printed on the electric socket.).

1. Unplug the appliance supply cord from the mains

socket.

2. Plug the electric tool supply cord into the electric

socket on the appliance.

3. Plug the appliance supply cord into the mains socket.
4. Turn the control switch to the “AUTO” position.
5. Switch on the electric tool.

- NOTE -

– The appliance starts after about 5 seconds (soft start

function).

– The appliance continues to run for a few seconds after

switching off the electric tool in order to remove any
waste material from the hose.

8.3 Picking up dry dust

- NOTE -

The following points must be observed when using the
appliance to pick up dry dust (mineral-based dust in par-
ticular):
– A disposal bag (Hilti accessory) must always be fitted

in the waste material container before using the appli-
ance to pick up dry dust. The waste material collect-
ed can then be disposed of cleanly and easily.

– Before picking up dry dust, take care to ensure that

the filter element is not damp after having previously
used the vacuum cleaner to pick up liquids. A damp
filter element quickly becomes blocked when dry dust
is picked up. Accordingly, the filter element should be
rinsed and dried or a dry filter element fitted before
picking up dry dust.

8.4 Picking up liquids

- NOTE -

Always use a filter element when using the appliance to
pick up liquids.

8.4.1 Before picking up liquids

G

Remove the disposal bag from the waste material con-
tainer.

G

Check that the container level sensor is not blocked.
Clean it if necessary.

- NOTE -

The appliance ction off the waste material container.
3. Remove the accessory imust be unplugged from the

mains supply before making adjustments, before
cleaning or maintenance and before changing the dis-
posal bag.

7.1 Initial operation

1. Open the two latches.
2. Lift the top setems and packaging from the waste

material container.

- NOTE -

Depending on the type of waste material to picked up,
a disposal bag may be fitted in the waste material con-
tainer. When doing so, push the collar on the disposal
bag firmly onto the hose socket.
4. Lift the top section onto the waste material container.
5. Close the two latches.
6. Connect the suction hose to the appliance.

7.2 Transport

G

The appliance must not be carried when full.

G

Empty the appliance before carrying it to a different
location.
