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.
External Dust Extraction
You can also attach a dust extraction hose (35 mm diameter) to the chip ejector for extraction.
- Connect the dust extraction hose to the chip ejector .
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.
