NOTE
The operating instructions and safety instructions for the
electric tool plugged into the power outlet on the vacuum
cleaner must be observed.
NOTE
Check to ensure that the maximum power drawn by the
electric tool is below the maximum permissible output of
the power outlet on the vacuum cleaner (please refer to
the "Technical data" section of the operating instructions
and information printed on the power outlet).
1. Disconnect the power tool supply cord plug from
the power outlet.

outlet on the vacuum cleaner.

NOTE The vacuum cleaner will continue to run for
a short time after switching off the electric tool in
order to ensure that all dust is removed from the
suction hose.
7.4 Picking up dry dust
NOTE
Before using the appliance to pick up dry dust, especially
dust from mineral materials, always check to ensure
that the correct dust bag (Hilti accessory) is fitted in the
container. The material collected can then be disposed
of cleanly and easily.
CAUTION
The material collected must be disposed of in accord-
ance with the applicable regulations.
CAUTION
Never use the appliance without a filter element.
CAUTION
When fitting the top section of the vacuum cleaner,
take care to avoid pinching your fingers or damaging
the supply cord.
Check to ensure that the filter element is dry. A damp
filter element will quickly become clogged when dry dust
is picked up with the appliance. For this reason, replace
the filter element with a dry filter element before using the
appliance to pick up dry dust.
7.4.1 Changing the paper dust bag / filter fleece
DANGER
Check that the bag has not been pierced through by
objects which may cause injury.
