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.

When sanding, it is recommended that you connect the power tool to a dust extractor. The power tool has no blower of its own; dust bags cannot be used.

External Dust Extraction

Connect the extraction hose (accessory) either to the extraction pipe (3) or directly to the extraction outlet (4) of the power tool.

Note: The extraction pipe (3) consists of antistatic material. If an antistatic extraction hose (accessory) is used in addition, this will prevent an electrostatic charge from building on the tool, which can happen on occasion when sanding.

When working without dust extraction (e.g. polishing), you can remove the extraction pipe (3). To do this, press the release button (15) and pull the extraction pipe (3) backward out of the power tool.

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.
