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 | 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.
External Dust Extraction
Connect the extraction hose (accessory) either to the extraction pipe (3) or directly to the extraction outlet (4) of the power tool.
Note: The extraction pipe (3) consists of antistatic material. If an antistatic extraction hose (accessory) is used in addition, this will prevent an electrostatic charge from building on the tool, which can happen on occasion when sanding.
When working without dust extraction (e.g. polishing), you can remove the extraction pipe (3). To do this, press the release button (15) and pull the extraction pipe (3) backward out of the power tool.
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.
