Connections with your work tools
(Country specific)
By connecting the vacuum cleaner to any available
work tools compatible with the cleaner, it works as a
dust extractor for your power tools.
Select one of the front cuffs or joints (optional acces-
sories) as most suitable for your tool model. Place the
cuffs or joint, as necessary, between the front end of the
cleaner hose and a dust extraction port of your tool.
