7.2 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.

The material collected must be disposed of in accor-
dance 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.
