5.6 Electrical
a) The appliance's supply cord plug must
match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) appliances. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Insert the plug
earthed/grounded power outlet which
has been correctly and safely installed
and is in compliance
regulations.
c) If you are in doubt about the effective-
ness of the power outlet's earth/ground
connection, have it checked by a quali-
fied specialist.
d) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
e) Do not expose appliances to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an appliance
will increase the risk of electric shock.
f) Check the appliance's supply cord at
regular intervals and have it replaced at
8
a Hilti service center if damage is found.
Check extension cords at regular inter-
vals and replace them if found to be dam-
aged.
g) Check the condition of the appliance and
its accessories. Do not operate the ap-
pliance and its accessories if damage is
found, if the appliance is incomplete or
if its controls cannot be operated fault-
lessly.
h) 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 present a risk of
electric shock.
i) The electric supply cord may be replaced
only with a cord of the type specified in
the operating instructions.
j) Damaged or faulty switches must be re-
placed at a Hilti service center. Do not
use the appliance if it cannot be switched
on and/or off correctly.
k) Have the appliance repaired only by a
trained electrical specialist (Hilti service
center) using genuine Hilti spare parts.
Failure to observe this point may result
in risk of accident to the user.
l) 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
in a suitable
risk of electric shock.
m) When operating an appliance outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
with local
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
n) In case of an interruption in the elec-
tric supply: Switch the appliance off and
unplug the supply cord.
o) Avoid using extension cords with multi-
ple power outlets and the simultaneous
such as pipes,
use of several appliances connected to
one extension cord.
p) Never spray the top section of the vac-
uum cleaner with water: this presents an
electrical hazard and may damage the
appliance.
