DUST EXTRACTION

(Not included, available as accessory)
The JS1007 Dust Extraction Kit includes a
dust shroud and an extraction tube for
connecting the jig saw to a vacuum hose or
vacuum hose adapter.
Note: The dust shroud must be used when the
extraction tube is connected to a vacuum
cleaner system.
To use this feature, attach extraction tube to
footplate. When inserting the extraction tube
into the footplate be sure that the plastic post
of the extraction tube engages into the
corresponding hole on the housing (Fig. 3).
For vacuuming, a Bosch Air Sweep vacuum
hose or hose adapter (optional accessory) can
be directly connected to the extraction tube
(Fig. 3).
For maximum vacuum dust pick up, dust
shroud must be attached.
