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.
Connecting the Dust Extraction System (see figures F−G)
Push the extraction outlet (6) into the recesses of the base plate (11) until it clicks into place.
Insert the dust extraction adapter (23) into an extraction hose (22) until you hear it click into place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (23) to the extraction outlet (6) on the power tool and the extraction hose (22) to a dust extractor (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
Switch off the sawdust blower device when you have connected the dust extraction system.
For optimum dust extraction, where possible use the anti-splinter guard (20).
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.
