Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures
A1–A4)
Place the dust box
(3)
onto the extraction outlet
(10)
until it
clicks into place.
To empty the dust box
(3)
, pull the dust box downwards.
Before opening the dust box
(3)
, knock the dust box against
a firm surface as shown in the figure to loosen the dust from
the filter element.
Take hold of the dust box
(3)
by the recessed grip, fold the
filter element
(11)
upwards out of the way and empty the
dust box. Use a soft brush to clean the flaps of the filter ele-
ment
(11)
.
External dust extraction (see figure B)
Fit a dust extraction hose
(12)
onto the extraction outlet
(10)
.
Connect the dust extraction hose
(12)
to an extractor. You
will find an overview of connecting to various dust extractors
at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
In Germany, wood dust extraction requires extraction
devices which have been tested on the basis of TRGS 553;
self-generated dust extraction must not be used in the com-
mercial sector. Commercial operators must clarify the spe-
cific requirements for other materials with the responsible
trade association.
Changing the sanding sheet
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate
(6)
, e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
