Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
External Dust Extraction
Insert a vacuum hose onto the extraction outlet
10. Connect the vacuum hose to a vacuum
cleaner. See the overview for connecting to var-
ious vacuum cleaners at the end of these oper-
ating instructions.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Bag
For small sanding jobs, a dust bag 7 (accessory)
can be connected. Attach the sleeve of the dust
bag firmly onto the outlet piece 10. To maintain
optimum dust collection, empty the dust bag 7
in good time.
