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.
Connecting the dust extraction system
The dust extraction system is only designed for use with the sanding plate (15); it serves no purpose when used together with other accessories.
Always connect a dust extraction system for sanding.
Remove the accessory and the depth stop (10) for fitting the dust extraction system.
Slide either the dust extraction system without click connection (13) or the dust extraction system with click connection (14) as far as it will go over the tool holder (8) onto the collar of the power tool. Turn the dust extraction to the required position (not directly under the power tool). Push the clamping lever (17) shut to fix the dust extraction system in position.
Connect the dust extraction system with the extraction hose:
- Dust extraction system without click connection (13): Insert the extraction hose (20) of the dust extractor into the dust extraction adapter (19) and allow it to engage. Attach the dust extraction adapter (19) to the extraction outlet (18) of the dust extraction system (13).
- Dust extraction system with click connection (14): Insert the extraction hose (20) of the dust extractor into the extraction outlet (18) of the dust extraction system (14) and allow it to engage.
Alternatively, the dust extraction adapter (19) can be inserted into the extraction outlet of the dust extraction system (14) and the extraction hose (20) can be inserted into the dust extraction adapter (19).
Connect the dust extraction hose (20) to a dust extractor.
You will find an overview of how to connect 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.
