Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your HILTI VC 40-U Fleece Bags. These bags are designed for efficient dry and wet dust collection with compatible HILTI vacuum cleaners, ensuring optimal performance and cleanliness during cutting, sawing, and grinding applications. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use.
Safety Information
Always observe general safety precautions when working with power tools and dust collection systems. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged before installing or replacing dust bags. Do not reuse damaged or overfilled bags. Dispose of used bags according to local regulations, especially when collecting hazardous materials.
- Ensure the vacuum cleaner is switched off and unplugged from the power source before handling the dust bag.
- Do not attempt to clean or reuse damaged or torn fleece bags.
- Dispose of full dust bags properly, following local waste disposal guidelines.
- Avoid overfilling the bag, as this can reduce vacuum performance and potentially damage the vacuum cleaner.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the fleece bag is crucial for effective dust collection.

- Open the Vacuum Cleaner: Unlatch and open the dust container of your HILTI VC 40-U vacuum cleaner.
- Remove Old Bag (if applicable): If an old bag is present, carefully remove it by pulling the collar away from the inlet port. Close the bag's opening if it has a sealing mechanism to prevent dust escape.
- Insert New Bag: Take a new HILTI VC 40-U fleece bag. Align the black plastic collar of the bag with the inlet port inside the vacuum cleaner's dust container.
- Secure the Bag: Push the collar firmly onto the inlet port until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure and airtight connection.
- Position the Bag: Gently unfold the bag inside the container, ensuring it is not creased or obstructing any internal components.
- Close the Vacuum Cleaner: Close the dust container lid and secure the latches.
Operating Instructions
Once the fleece bag is correctly installed, the vacuum cleaner is ready for operation.
- Ensure the vacuum cleaner is properly assembled and the bag is securely in place.
- Connect the vacuum cleaner to a suitable power source.
- Turn on the vacuum cleaner and proceed with your cutting, sawing, or grinding tasks, allowing the system to collect dust.
- Monitor the vacuum cleaner's performance. A decrease in suction power often indicates a full dust bag.
Maintenance
Regular replacement of the fleece bag is essential for maintaining optimal vacuum performance and air quality.
- Bag Replacement: Replace the fleece bag when it is full or when you notice a significant reduction in suction power. Do not wait until the bag is completely bursting.
- Disposal: Carefully remove the full bag as described in the "Setup and Installation" section. Seal the bag if possible and dispose of it according to local environmental regulations.
- Filter Check: While replacing the bag, it is a good practice to inspect the main filter of your vacuum cleaner for excessive dust buildup and clean or replace it as per your vacuum cleaner's manual.
