Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
u
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can
easily ignite.
Dust extraction with GDE 16 Plus (accessory)
(see figure I)
For dust extraction, the GDE 16 Plus (accessory) is re-
quired.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked on.
When extracting dry dust or dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust ex-
tractor.
Dust Extraction with GDE 18V-26 D (accessory)
For dust extraction, the GDE 18V-26 D dust extraction at-
tachment (accessory) is required.
Observe the information on intended use in the relevant op-
erating manual when using the GDE 18V-26 D.
Dust collection cap (accessory) (see figure J)
To collect dust easily without using extraction, a dust collec-
tion cap
