PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT - CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT
Before you commence any work at your chosen work area, you should
undertake some preliminary hazard identication and risk control
precautions. Ideally more than one person should do this. This is
undertaken by:
1. Physically inspecting the work site
2. Reviewing the best way/job steps required to complete the task
3. Reviewing the Safe Work Information supplied with the equipment
4. Reviewing other reference documentation and expert advice.
The hazard identication and control process steps are dened as:
1. Identify the Hazards (eg. 240V power drill use around wet areas)
2. Assess the Risk (multi earth paths - possible electrocution)
3. Select the Control Measure (e.g. dry the area; use an RCD; use a
cordless drill etc)
4. Re-assess the Risk (risk of electrocution now negligible). This is
undertaken to ensure that the risk control measures adopted have not
introduced any new risks to the work area.

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Take the inuences of the surrounding area into account. Do not
expose the appliance to rain or snow and do not use it in damp or wet
conditions. Do not use the appliance where there is a risk of re of
explosion.
• Use the right appliance for the job. Do not use the appliance for
purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only as directed and
when in faultless condition.
• Do not abuse the supply cord and/or the hose. Never use the supply
cord or hose to carry or pull the appliance and do not pull the supply
cord when unplugging. Damaged supply cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Keep the supply cord and hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
• Check the appliance and its accessories for any damage. Guards,
safety devices and any slightly damaged parts must be checked
carefully to ensure that they function faultlessly and as intended.
• Check that moving parts function correctly without sticking and that no
parts are damaged. All parts must be
• tted correctly and fulll all conditions necessary for correct operation
of the appliance. Damaged guards, safety devices and other parts
must be repaired or replaced properly at an authorized service center
unless otherwise indicated in the operating instructions.
• During operation, protect the appliance and hose from the e󰀨ects
of external inuences which could result in damage to the water
separator or hose.
• Observe the operating instructions for the diamond coring machine
used.
• Avoid restriction or blocking of the hose, e.g. pinching, kinking or
entry of dirt.
• Keep the ventilation slots on the pump clean and unobstructed.
Ensure adequate free space at the air exit in order to avoid
overheating of the appliance.
• Never allow the pump to stand in water.
• The pump should stand on a dry horizontal surface when in operation
and should be secured to prevent possible movement.
• The vacuum will be maintained for a short time after failure of the
electric supply or malfunction of the appliance. Should this occur, stop
working immediately and check the pressure gauges on the pump
and vacuum base plate. Secure the workpieces to prevent falling.
• Do not modify the appliance or tamper with its parts.
• Use only genuine Hilti spare parts.
• Empty the water separator each time before transporting the pump.
• Ensure that the workplace is well lit.

be kept free.
• Avoid pinching or kinking the supply cord and hose.
• Check the water level in the water separator and empty it if
necessary.
• Connect the hose from the pump to the vacuum baseplate.
CHECKING OPERATION
• Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
• Switch the pump on at the on / o󰀨 switch.
• After a short time, the pressure gauge should indicate a pressure
within the green area.
SWITCHING THE PUMP ON
• Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
• Switch the pump on at the on / o󰀨 switch.
• The vacuum is monitored by a builtin pressure gauge.
CHECKING PRESSURE GAUGE
• Check the pressure gauge at regular intervals while the work is being
carried out.
• Pressure indicator in the green area: vacuum pressure is adequate.
Pressure indicator in the red area: vacuum pressure is inadequate.
• If the vacuum pressure is no longer adequate, stop working
immediately.
• Check the system
CHECKING WATER LEVEL IN SEPARATOR
• Check the water level in the water separator at regular intervals.
• The appliance is equipped with a safety valve to prevent water being
drawn into the pump when the water container is full.
