7.7 Connection of a Dust Col-
lector
A Danger!
Some types of saw dust (e.g. of
oak, beech and ash wood) may cause
cancer when inhaled: always use a
dust collector when working indoors
(required air speed at the saw's suc-
tion connector ≥ 20 m/s).
A
Caution!
Operation without a dust col-
lector is only possible:
− outdoors;
− for short-term operation
(up to 30 minutes maximum);
− with dust respirator.
− If no dust collector is used chips
will accumulate, which need to be
removed periodically.
Connect dust collector or industrial vac-
uum with a suitable adaptor to the dust
56
extraction port.
7.8 Connection to Power
Mains
B
Danger! High voltage
•
Operate machine in dry environ-
ment only.
•
Operate machine only on a power
source matching the following
requirements (see also "Techni-
cal specifications"):
− mains voltage and system fre-
quency conform to the voltage
and frequency shown on the
machine's name plate;
− fuse protection by a residual
current operated device (RCD)
of 30 mA sensitivity;
− outlets
earthed and tested.
•
Make sure the power supply
cable is out of the way, so that it
does not interfere with the work
and does not pose a tripping haz-
ard or will get damaged.
•
Protect the power supply cable
from heat, aggressive liquids and
sharp edges.
•
Use only rubber-jacketed exten-
sion cables with sufficient lead
cross-section (3 x 1.5 mm
•
Do not pull on the power supply
cable to unplug.
8. Operation
