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.
Fitting the Chip Shield for Edge Routing/Dust Extraction Adapter (see figures N-O)
The chip shield for edge routing (30) and dust extraction adapter (32)/(33) can only be used in combination with the round base plate (7) and the optional square and D-shaped base plates (accessories).
The chip shield for edge routing (30) is particularly suitable for use in combination with the dust extraction adapter for edge routers (32). This ensures maximum dust extraction when routing edges.
Fit the chip shield for edge routing (30) with the supplied screw and click it audibly into the fixed routing base (2).
Connecting the Dust Extraction System
Put an extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (accessory) on the installed dust extraction adapter. Connect the dust extraction hose to a dust extractor (accessory).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
When extracting dry dust or dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
