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.
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.
