the appliance for purposes for which it was not
en
intended. Use it only as directed and when in
faultless condition.
b) Never leave the appliance unattended.
c) Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not use the appliance where there is
a risk of fire of explosion.
d) Protect the appliance from frost.

g) 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.
h) Switch the appliance off before transporting it.
i) Check the appliance and its accessories for any
damage. Guards, safety devices and any slightly
damaged parts must be checked carefully to en-
sure that they function faultlessly and as inten-
ded. Check that moving parts function correctly
without sticking and that no parts are damaged.
All parts must be fitted correctly and fulfill all
conditions necessary for correct operation of the
appliance. Damaged guards, safety devices and

making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the appliance. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
m) Use the appliance and its accessories etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions and in the man-
ner intended for the particular type of appliance,

5.5 Mechanical
a) Follow the instructions concerning care and main-
tenance.
b) Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine's operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Poor maintenance of
electric appliances is the cause of many accidents.
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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Insert the plug in a suitable earthed/grounded
power outlet which has been correctly and safely
installed and is in compliance with local regula-
tions.
c) If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of the
power outlet's earth/ground connection, have it
checked by a qualified specialist.
d) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, 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 condi-
tions. Water entering an appliance will increase the
risk of electric shock.
f) Check the appliance's supply cord at regular in-
tervals and have it replaced at a Hilti service
center if damage is found. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if damage is
found.
g) Check the condition of the appliance and its ac-
cessories. Do not operate the appliance and its
accessories if damage is found, if the appliance is
incomplete or if its controls cannot be operated
faultlessly.
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 or extension 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.
