Dust/Chip Extraction
Do not perform work without taking dust-reducing measures.
Using a suitable dust extraction attachment or a dust box/dust bag will reduce exposure to harmful dust. Provide good ventilation at the workplace. Always use suitable breathing protection. If you are using a dust box, empty it in good time and clean the filter element regularly to ensure optimal dust extraction.
If you are using a dust extractor, refer to the requirements listed below. 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.
Requirements for the Dust Extractor | ||
|---|---|---|
Recommended hose nominal diameter | mm | 35 |
Required vacuum pressureA) | mbar | ≥ 230 |
Required flow rateA) | l/s | ≥ 36 |
Recommended filter efficiency | Dust class MB) | |
- A)
Power value at the power tool’s dust extractor connection
- B)
According to IEC/EN 60335-2-69
Refer to the dust extractor’s instructions. If there is reduced suction power, stop working and eliminate the cause.
The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust, chips or fragments of the workpiece.
- Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.
- Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
- Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.
For basic chip collection, use the dust bag (1) provided.
- Insert the dust extraction adapter (2) onto the chip ejector (45) and lock it (“Lock” rotational direction).
- Connect the dust bag (1) to the dust extraction adapter (2) (Click&Clean connection).
During sawing, the dust bag must not come into contact with moving tool components.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
- Check and clean the dust bag each time after using.
- When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag to avoid the risk of fire.
You can also attach a dust extraction hose (35 mm diameter) to the extraction adapter (2) for extraction.
- Insert the dust extraction adapter (2) onto the chip ejector (45) and lock it (“Lock” rotational direction).
- Connect the extractor hose to the dust extraction adapter (2) (Click&Clean connection).
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.
To ensure optimum extraction, the dust extraction adapter (2) must be cleaned regularly.
- Remove the dust extraction adapter (2) from the chip ejector (45) (“Unlock” rotational direction and remove).
- Remove workpiece fragments and chips.
- Insert the dust extraction adapter (2) onto the chip ejector (45) and lock it (“Lock” rotational direction).
