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 |

- 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.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust bag (see figures C–G)
To empty the dust bag, pull the complete dust bag (4) away from the extraction outlet (9).
Unscrew the cap of the dust bag. Empty the dust bag and screw the cap back on.
Place and move the complete dust bag (4) onto the extraction outlet (9) until it lines up precisely with the power tool.
Note: Empty the dust bag (4) in good time to ensure optimum dust extraction.
When working vertical surfaces, hold the power tool in such a manner that the dust bag (4) faces downward.
External dust extraction (see figure H)
Fit a dust extraction hose (10) onto the extraction outlet (9).
Connect the dust extraction hose (10) to an extractor. You will find an overview of connecting 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 that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with the dust extraction hose facing downwards.
