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.
Clean the chip ejector (13) regularly. Switch off the power tool to do so. Remove the chip ejector and tap it to clear the chips. Use a suitable tool, e.g. a piece of wood, compressed air etc. to clean a blocked chip ejector.
- Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
Always use an external dust extraction device or chip/dust bag to guarantee optimum suction.
Remove the chip ejector (13).
The dust extraction adapter (24) (accessory) with dust extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (22) (accessory) can be fitted to either side of the power tool.
Firstly, insert the dust extraction adapter (24) into the power tool. Engage the lock (25) on the dust extraction adapter. Then insert the dust extraction hose (22) into the dust extraction adapter (24) until you hear both snap fasteners (26) on the dust extraction hose engage.
Connect the dust extraction hose (22) to a dust extractor (accessory). You will find an overview of how to connect to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
When extracting dust that is dry, especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
