Dust extraction

Installing the dust extractor adapter
(Figure 3/Item 15)

Slide the dust extractor adapter (15) on to the connection for the dust extractor (6).

You can then connect a suitable dust extractor (a) to the dust extractor adapter (15) (dust extractor not supplied).

This will provide excellent dust extraction on the workpiece.

Check that all the parts are properly connected.

The vacuum cleaner you use for the extraction work must be suitable for the workpiece material.

Installing the dust collection box
(Figure 4/Item 14)

Push the dust collection box (14) to the dust extractor connection (6). Remove the dust collection box in reverse order.

The dust is extracted directly via the grinding/sanding belt into the dust container.

For health safety reasons it is imperative that you use a dust container or a dust extraction system via the dust extraction adaptor!
