8.5 FITTING THE DUST EXTRACTION BAG
– FIG. 4
Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to
health. For this reason a dust extraction bag
has
been provided and must be used with the machine at all
times.
Warning! All wood dust (including dust from
composites like chipboards and fibreboards, etc.) is
hazardous to health; it can affect the nose, the
respiratory system and the skin. For example MDF
(medium density fibreboard) which contains
formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In addition to the
above measure a correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for
the activity and in accordance to the relevant standard,
must be worn. For work activities involving exposure to
the fine wood dust, a mask rated to at least FFP2 should
be used.
The dust bag
is fitted to the planer via the plastic
collar which slides onto the dust outlet port .
