Dust/Chip Extraction

Do not perform work without taking dust-reducing measures. Using a suitable dust extraction attachment will reduce exposure to harmful dust. Provide good ventilation at the workplace. Always use suitable breathing protection. Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible. The regulations on the materials being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.

Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

Requirements for the Dust Extractor
Recommended hose nominal diameter	mm	28
Required vacuum pressure^A)	mbar hPa	≥ 140 ≥ 140
Required flow rate^A)	l/s m³/h	≥ 23 ≥ 82.8
Recommended filter efficiency		Dust class M^B)

A): Power value at the power tool’s dust extractor connection

B): According to IEC/EN 60335-2-69

Refer to the dust extractor’s instructions. If there is reduced suction power, stop working and eliminate the cause.

The dust/chip extraction system can be blocked by dust, chips or fragments of the workpiece.

Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
Determine the cause of the blockage and eliminate it.

To prevent the risk of fire when sawing aluminium, empty the chip ejector and do not use chip extraction.

Emptying the chip ejector (see figure i)

You can open the lower saw blade cover (52) to remove workpiece fragments and large chips.

Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket.
Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
Tilt the power tool sideways.
Loosen the fastening screws (53) and open the lower saw blade cover (52).
Remove workpiece fragments and chips.
Close the lower saw blade cover and screw it back on.
Bring the power tool into the work position.

External dust extraction (see figure j)

Firmly insert a suitable dust extraction hose into the dust extraction adapter (34).

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.
