Dust/Chip Extraction
Do not perform work without taking dust-reducing measures. Using a suitable dust extraction attachment will reduce exposure to harmful dust. Provide good ventilation at the workplace. Always use suitable breathing protection. Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible. The regulations on the materials 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.
Hood
Fit the hood (12) before you connect the power tool to the dust extraction system.
Position the hood (12) on the power tool so that the brackets click into place in the recesses on the housing.
Remove the hood (12) when working without a dust extraction system and for mitre cuts. To do this, push the hood together at the level of the outer brackets and remove it by pulling it forwards.
Connecting the dust extraction system
Connect a dust extraction hose (5) to the extraction outlet (6). Connect the dust extraction hose (5) to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-splinter guard (17).
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.
