What to do if my Hilti VC 40-UL Vacuum Cleaner has an acoustic warning signal and reduced suction power?
- V
  Victor Baxter DDSAug 18, 2025
  If your Hilti Vacuum Cleaner is emitting an acoustic warning signal and has reduced suction power, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the dust bag is full and replace it if necessary. Another potential cause is a filter element clogged with dirt or dust; if your vacuum has an automatic filter cleaning system deactivated, activate it and let the cleaner run for about 30 seconds. Also, inspect the suction hose or dust hood on the electric tool for blockages and clean them. Lastly, verify that the hose diameter setting is correct, especially for hollow drill bit applications where a 15 mm setting is recommended.

  Ann MayAug 20, 2025
  The acoustic warning signal and reduced suction power in your Hilti Vacuum Cleaner can be due to several reasons. First, check if the dust bag is full and change it if necessary. Second, the filter element might be clogged; if your vacuum has an automatic filter cleaning system, activate it for 30 seconds. Third, the suction hose or dust hood could be blocked, so clean them. Finally, the hose diameter setting may be incorrect; adjust it, setting it to 15 mm for applications with a hollow drill bit.

What to do if the motor of my Hilti VC 40-UL doesn’t restart?
- C
  Christina GriffinAug 23, 2025
  If the motor of your Hilti Vacuum Cleaner doesn't restart, there could be several causes: 1. The mains circuit breaker may have tripped. Try resetting it. If it trips again, investigate the cause of the overload current. 2. The waste material container might be full. Switch off the appliance and empty the container. 3. The motor overheating protection cut-out may have been activated. Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down for about 5 minutes. If it still doesn’t start, return it to Hilti Service. 4. The motor might be repeatedly switched off by its thermal cut-out. Clean the air vents carefully using a dry brush.

Why is my Hilti VC 40-UL Vacuum Cleaner blowing out dust?
- M
  Megan PayneAug 26, 2025
  If dust is being blown out of your Hilti Vacuum Cleaner, it's likely due to one of two issues. Either the filter element is not fitted correctly, in which case you should refit it, or the filter element is damaged, requiring you to replace it with a new one.

Why does my Hilti VC 40-UL switch itself off and on, or discharge static electricity?
- L
  Lynn HarveyAug 28, 2025
  If your Hilti Vacuum Cleaner switches itself off or on, or if you're experiencing static electricity discharges, it's likely due to electrostatic charge not being conducted away because the appliance is connected to an ungrounded power outlet. To resolve this, connect the appliance to a grounded power outlet and use an antistatic suction hose.
