Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, certain types of wood and minerals 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.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures D–F)
Position and slide the complete dust box (2) onto the extraction outlet (17) until it lines up precisely with the power tool.
To empty the dust box (18), pull the complete dust box (2) away from the extraction outlet (17). Unscrew the adapter (19) from the dust box (18) 
and empty the dust box.
Note: Empty the dust box (18) in good time to ensure optimum dust extraction.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with the dust box (2) facing downwards.
External dust extraction (see figure G)
Fit a dust extraction hose (20) onto the extraction outlet (17).
To run the hose parallel to the tool, the dust extraction hose (20) can also be connected with the Click&Clean port on the adapter (19).
Connect the dust extraction hose (20) to an extractor. You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
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.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with the dust extraction hose facing downwards.
We recommend using anti-static hoses and dust extractors. Whilst it is possible to use standard hoses and dust extractors, this is not recommended due to the potential for static charge accumulation, which can cause a minor electric shock.
