Dust/Chip Extraction
f
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
–
Use dust extraction whenever possible.
–
Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
–
It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box
(see Fig. A1
–
A4)
Before assembling the dust box
4
, pull out the
plastic slider
12
. Place the dust box
4
onto the
extraction outlet

on the side of the dust box. Pull off the
dust box.
Before opening the dust box

, it is recommend-
ed to loosen the dust from the filter element by
gently striking it against a firm support (as
shown in the figure).
Grasp the dust box
4
by the recessed grip, fold
the filter element
15
upward and empty the dust
box. Clean the thin plates of the filter element
15
with a soft brush.
Note:
To ensure optimum dust extraction, emp-
ty the dust box
4
in good time and clean the fil-
ter element

at regular intervals.
When working vertical surfaces, hold the power
tool in such a manner that the dust box

External Dust Extraction (see figure B)
Slide the extraction adapter
16
onto the outlet
piece
13
. Ensure that the latching levers of the
extraction adapter engage. The extraction
adapter

accepts a vacuum hose with a diam-
eter of 19 mm.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the
material being worked.
An overview for connecting to different vacuum
cleaners can be found at the end of these oper-
ating instructions.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
When working vertical surfaces, hold the power
tool in such a manner that the vacuum hose fac-
es downward.
For removal of the extraction adapter
16
, press
the latching levers together at the rear and pull
the extraction adapter off.
