▼ REMOVING THE DUST BOX FROM
THE DUST EXTRACTION
ATTACHMENT:
1.
Hold the power tool with the dust
extraction attachment horizontal and
switch on the power tool for a few
seconds. This will cause residual dust
to be cleared out of the extraction
channel into the dust box
12
.

from the attachment to avoid release
of crystalline silica dust.
2.
Simultaneously press the tabs

,
located on both sides of the dust box
12
, to unlock the dust box from the
dust extraction attachment (Fig. 8).
3.
With the dust box
12
unlocked,
slowly pull the dust box downward
from the dust extraction attachment
(Fig. 8).
NOTE: Keep the tool in a horizontal

dispose dust box contents in a closed
plastic bag. Improper disposal of silica
dust may cause a health hazard.
After removing the dust box from the
dust extraction attachment, follow these
steps for proper disposal:
A.
Take the dust box
12
and put it inside
a plastic bag. Turn the dust box over
to empty out the contents. It is
important that the dust box is
completely covered inside the plastic
bag to keep any possible air-borne
dust inside. Lightly tap the dust box
to assure all contents have been
removed. This light tapping will also
remove any large dust particles that
accumulated on the surface of HEPA
filter
13
(Fig. 9).
B.
Remove the dust box from the plastic
bag and examine to assure the HEPA
filter
13
has been cleared of all
accumulated dust particles.
To prevent damage to
the HEPA filter, do
not use this dust extraction attachment
when drilling with liquids or into wet
materials. Replace the HEPA filter
when collected dust particles may not
be removed from the filter material.
Damaged filter may create a risk of
exposure to crystalline silica dust.
