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.
- Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
Requirements for the Dust Extractor | ||
|---|---|---|
Recommended hose nominal diameter | mm | 28 |
Required vacuum pressureA) | mbar | ≥ 140 |
Required flow rateA) | l/s | ≥ 23 |
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.
The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust, chips or fragments of the workpiece.
- Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.
- Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
- Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.
For basic chip collection, use the dust bag (43) provided.
- Attach the dust bag (43) to the chip ejector (36).
During sawing, the dust bag must not come into contact with moving tool components.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
- Check and clean the dust bag each time after using.
- When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag to avoid the risk of fire.
You can also attach a dust extraction hose (35 mm diameter) to the extraction adapter (42) for extraction.
- Attach the dust extraction adapter (42) to the chip ejector with a twisting motion until it engages above the chip ejector (36) holding ring.
- Connect the extractor hose to the dust extraction adapter (42) (Click&Clean connection).
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.
To ensure optimum extraction, the dust extraction adapter (42) must be cleaned regularly.
- Pull the dust extraction adapter (42) off the chip ejector (36) with a twisting motion.
- Remove workpiece fragments and chippings.
- Reattach the dust extraction adapter to the chip ejector with a twisting motion until it engages above the chip ejector holding ring.
