Frequently Asked Questions - VC 60LX HILTI

What type of dust can I vacuum with the VC 60LX?
The Hilti VC 60LX vacuum can vacuum non-flammable dry dusts, wood chips, liquids and hazardous dusts according to class L (OEL > 1 mg/m³) or M (OEL ≥ 0.1 mg/m³) depending on the model.
How to start the vacuum?
Plug into a grounded outlet, then turn the switch to the desired position: I for on, I with filter cleaning, or 0 for off.
What to do if the acoustic warning signal sounds?
The signal indicates a reduction in suction power. Check the dust bag (replace if full), the filter cartridge (activate filter cleaning if disabled) and the suction hose (unblock if necessary).
How to vacuum liquids with the VC 60LX?
Remove the dust bag (use a plastic bag if needed), check that the filter cartridge is suitable (polyester or PTFE) and that the level monitoring device is clean. Never vacuum flammable or corrosive liquids.
When and how to replace the filter cartridge?
Replace the filter cartridge at least twice a year, or more often with intensive use. Disconnect the device, open the filter cover clamps, remove the old filter, clean the sealing surfaces and insert the new filter.
How to clean the filter cartridge?
The VC 60LX is equipped with an automatic filter cleaning that blows air every 7.5 seconds. For manual cleaning, do not tap the cartridge and do not use a high-pressure cleaner. Replace it if it is too dirty.
What to do if the motor does not stop after emptying the tank?

The appliance may only be used by persons who are familiar with it, have been trained on how to use it safely and who understand the resulting hazards. The appliance is not intended for use by children. Children must be supervised in order to ensure that they don't play with the appliance.

- Store appliances in a secure place when not in use. When not in use, appliances must be stored in a dry, high place or locked away out of reach of children.

2.2 Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when working with the product. Do not use the vacuum cleaner while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the appliance may result in serious personal injury.
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves, safety footwear and breathing protection while the appliance is in use or while maintenance work on it is being carried out.
- Engage the wheel brakes so that the vacuum cleaner stands securely. If the wheel brakes are disengaged the vacuum cleaner may run away out of control.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of a vacuum cleaner can reduce dust-related hazards.

2.3 Use and care of the appliance

▶ Never leave the appliance unattended.
- Do not deactivate the filter cleaning system when picking up hazardous dusts, especially when the appliance is used in conjunction with electric tools that generate dust.
▶ Protect the appliance from frost.
- Clean the water level limiting device regularly with a brush, in accordance with the instructions, and check it for signs of damage.
When fitting the top section of the vacuum cleaner, take care to avoid pinching your fingers or damaging the supply cord. This presents a risk of injury or damage.
- 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 faultlessly, without sticking, and that no parts are damaged. In order to ensure faultless operation of the appliance, all parts must be fitted correctly and must meet the necessary requirements.
▶ Have the appliance serviced by a qualified repair person using only genuine Hilti spare parts. The safety of the appliance can thus be maintained.
▶ 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 or accessories. This preventive safety measure reduces the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
▶ Never pull the vacuum cleaner by the supply cord to a new working position. Do not run the wheels of the vacuum cleaner over the supply cord.
- Do not transport the appliance by crane.
- Close the hose inlet socket with the cap before transporting the appliance and when it is not in use.

2.4 Electrical safety

The plug on the supply cord of the appliance must match the outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce risk of electric shock.
- Insert the plug in a suitable earthed/grounded power outlet which has been correctly and safely installed and is in compliance with local regulations. If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of the power outlet's earth/ground connection, have it checked by a qualified specialist.
- Avoid body contact with earthed / grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
- Do not expose the appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an electric appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ Check to ensure that the supply cord does not lie in a puddle of water.
- Check the appliance's supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by Hilti Service if damage is found. Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged.
- 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.

HILTI

The electric supply cord may be replaced only with a cord of the type specified in the operating instructions.
- 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 risk of electric shock.
When operating an electric appliance outdoors, use only extension cords of a type suitable for outdoor use. Use of an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
In the event of an interruption in the electric supply, switch the appliance off and unplug it from the power outlet.
▶ Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or dampness adhering to the surface of the appliance may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock. Dirty or dusty appliances should thus be checked by Hilti Service at regular intervals, especially if used frequently for working on conductive materials.

2.5 Workplace

▶ Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
▶ Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may result in damage to the health.
- Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the working area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.

WARNING

Electrical hazards. Improper repairs to electrical parts may lead to serious injuries.

Electrical parts may be repaired only by trained electrical specialists.

  • Keep the appliance, especially its grip surfaces, clean and free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning agents containing silicone.
    ▶ Never operate the vacuum cleaner when the air vents are blocked. Clean the air vents carefully using a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the appliance.
  • Clean the outer surfaces of the appliance with a slightly damp cloth at regular intervals. Do not use a spray system, pressure jet washer or running water for cleaning as this may negatively affect the electrical safety of the appliance.

L- and M-class vacuum cleaners

The appliance must be handled for cleaning and maintenance in a way that avoids exposing maintenance personnel and other persons to any hazards.

▶ Use filtered forced ventilation.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment.
- Clean the maintenance area in a way that prevents hazardous substances escaping into the surrounding environment.
- Vacuum off the outer surfaces of the appliance and wipe it clean or seal it in a suitable container, e.g. large plastic bag, before removing it from an area contaminated with hazardous substances. This will help to avoid distribution of the hazardous dust deposited on it.
- When maintenance or repairs are carried out, all contaminated parts which cannot be satisfactorily cleaned must be packed in impermeable bags and disposed of in compliance with the applicable disposal regulations.
The appliance must be subjected to a technical inspection by Hilti Service or a trained person at least once a year to check, for example, for damage to the filter, air leakage, and to ensure correct operation of controlling devices.

7.2 Automatic filter cleaning

10 Disposal

Most of the materials from which Hilti products are manufactured can be recycled. The materials must be correctly separated before they can be recycled. In many countries, your old tools, machines or appliances can be returned to Hilti for recycling. Ask Hilti Service or your Hilti representative for further information.

In accordance with the European Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in conformance with national law, electric tools or appliances that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.

HILTI VC 60LX - Disposal - 1

- Do not dispose of electric appliances together with household waste.

Drilling slurry

Disposal of drilling slurry directly into rivers, lakes or the sewerage system without suitable pretreatment presents environmental problems.

- Ask the local public authorities for information about current regulations.

We recommend the following pretreatment:

▶ Collect the drilling slurry (for example, using a wet-type vacuum cleaner).
- Allow the drilling slurry to settle and dispose of the solid material at a construction waste disposal site (addition of a flocculent may accelerate the settling process).
The remaining water (alkaline, pH value greater than 7) must be neutralized by the addition of an acidic neutralizing agent or diluted with a large volume of water before it is allowed to flow into the sewerage system.

Drilling dust

- Dispose of the drilling dust collected by the vacuum cleaner in accordance with the applicable national regulations.

11 Manufacturer's warranty

▶ Please contact your local Hilti representative if you have questions about the warranty conditions.
