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 | 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.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures D–F)
Position and slide the complete dust box (2) onto the extraction outlet (17) until it lines up precisely with the power tool.
To empty the dust box , pull the complete dust box (2) away from the extraction outlet (17). Unscrew the adapter (19) from the dust box 
and empty the dust box.
Note: Empty the dust box in good time to ensure optimum dust extraction.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with the dust box (2) facing downwards and empty the dust box by turning the (red) rotary knob at the end of the box to the left and to the right to tap any dust out of the filter.
External dust extraction (see figure G)
Fit a dust extraction hose (20) onto the extraction outlet (17).
To run the hose parallel to the tool, the dust extraction hose (20) can also be connected with the Click&Clean port on the adapter (19).
Connect the dust extraction hose (20) 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.
We recommend using anti-static hoses and dust extractors. Whilst it is possible to use standard hoses and dust extractors, this is not recommended due to the potential for static charge accumulation, which can cause a minor electric shock.
