10. 

Connect the dust extraction with the mains power supply. 

11. Plug 

the 

tube

 of the dust extraction into the suction pipe of circuit board 

plotter (rear side). 

12. 

Plug the other side of the tube on the coupler of the dust extraction. 

 Now the circuit board plotter is connected. 

 

Note 

Do 

not

 connect any UBB hub to the USB interfaces of the 

machine. The USB interface do not support this configuration at 
all.
