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.
Refer to the dust extractor’s instructions. If there is reduced suction power, stop working and eliminate the cause.

According to IEC/EN 60335-2-69
Clean the extraction outlet (22) if necessary. To do this, open the base plate (34) see Inserting/Replacing the Side Milling Cutter (see figures A−B) and pull out the extraction outlet.
External Dust Extraction (see accessories page)
Insert the connector of an extraction hose (accessory) onto the extraction outlet (22), turning slightly. Connect the extraction hose to a vacuum cleaner.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
When extracting dry dust or dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust bag (see accessories page)
For smaller routing jobs, you can use the dust bag (23).
Insert the connector of the dust bag (23) onto the extraction outlet (22), turning slightly.
Empty the dust bag (23) at regular intervals to maintain optimum dust collection.
Do this by pulling off the dust bag (23), opening the zip and emptying the contents.
