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.
Requirements for the Dust Extractor | ||
|---|---|---|
Recommended hose nominal diameter | mm | 28 |
Required vacuum pressureA) | mbar | ≥ 220 |
Required flow rateA) | l/s | ≥ 28 |
Recommended filter efficiency | HEPA or 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.
External Dust Extraction (see figure G)
An extraction hose (dia. 35 mm) (22) can be connected to the chip ejector.
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 dry dust or dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Self-generated dust extraction (see figure G)
A chip/dust bag (21) can be used for smaller jobs. Insert the dust bag nozzle of the chip/dust bag firmly into the chip ejector (3). Empty the chip/dust bag (21) at regular intervals to maintain optimum dust collection.
Clean the chip ejector (3) regularly. Clean a clogged chip ejector using a suitable tool, e.g. a piece of wood, compressed air, etc.
- 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.
