carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood treatment additives.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use dust
class M vacuum cleaner.
The machine is provided with a dust extraction adapter
for use with dust extraction equipment featuring 101 mm nozzles. Supplied with the machine
is a reduction bush 40 for use of dust extraction nozzles of 62,5 mm diameter.
