Read these instructions and your tool’s manual before using the hammer
dust collection shrouds.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
General Safety Rules
Wear eye and dust protection.
Unplug power tool before assembling or
disassembling accessory, attachment or
making adjustments.
Use vacuum cleaner or other dust collection
device to reduce exposure to silica carbide
dusts or other hazardous dusts created while
operating the tool with this accessory and
attachment.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies;
depend ing on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
Use only for collection of masonry type
materials. Not for use on hazardous materials.
Ensure secure attachment to tool before
operation. See instructions for chiseling
capacity. Follow all tool/vacuum instructions.

Specific Safety Rules for Attachment
If devices are provided for the connection to
dust collection and extraction systems, be
sure these are connected and used
according to tool and vacuum instructions.
Proper use of dust collection can reduce dust
related hazards.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust collection and extraction systems,
empty the dust container before beginning
work, frequently during work, after
completion of work, and before storing the
tool. Be extremely careful of dust disposal,
materials in fine particles form may be
explosive.
Do not throw dust on an open fire.
Combustion from mixture of varnishes,
lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust
particles can occur if there is a static discharge,
electric spark, or excessive heat.
Do not use dust extraction for operations
where dust may include burning, smoking
or smoldering items like hot ashes or
sparks. Fire inside the vacuum tank or bag
may occur. Dust may smolder and set vacuum
on fire long after work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings,
cleaners, or oil-based paints. Electric motors
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Do not use dust extraction when working on
metal. Swarf from drilling metal may be hot and
may spark which may melt plastic adaptors,
vacuum hoses and may cause a fire inside the
vacuum tank or bag.
Do not drill into metal with the dust
extraction system mounted. Hot metal chips
can self-ignite or ignite parts of the dust
extraction system.
Do not drill into wood with dust extraction
system mounted. Wood chips are typically too
large and will clog the dust channel.
Do not use to clean asbestos.
Note: Do not use the dust extraction system
when screwdriving or cutting threads.
