Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health. Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
- Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible.
- Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
- It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.
- Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
Hood (see figure E)
Fit the hood (18) before you connect the power tool to the dust extraction system.
Attach the hood (18) to the power tool so that the bracket locks into place on the safety guard (13).
Remove the hood (18) when working without a dust extraction system and for mitre/bevel cuts. To do this, pull the hood forwards off the safety guard (13).
Connecting the dust extraction (see figures F–G)
Fit the extraction outlet (19) in the recesses of the base plate (6).
Ensure that the cam on the extraction outlet slots into the corresponding recess of the base plate (6) as shown in the figure F.
Connect a dust extraction hose (20) to the extraction outlet (19). Connect the dust extraction hose (20) to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-splinter guard (17).
Switch off the sawdust blower device when you have connected the dust extraction system.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
