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.

The dust extraction system (13) is only designed for use with the sanding plate (14); 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 (11) for fitting the dust extraction system (13).

Slide the dust extraction system (13) as far as it will go over the tool holder (8) onto the collar of the power tool. Turn the dust extraction system to the required position (not directly under the power tool). Push the clamping lever (16) shut to fix the dust extraction system in position.

Attach the dust extraction adapter (18) of the dust extraction hose (19) to the dust extraction outlet (17). Connect the dust extraction hose (19) to a dust extractor (accessory).

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.
