Mounting the Extraction Adapter
(see figure B)
Fasten the extraction adapter 25 to the base
plate 6 with the fastening screw 24.
A vacuum hose with a diameter of 35 mm can be
connected to the extraction adapter 25.
The extraction adapter may not be mounted
when no external dust extraction is con-
nected. Otherwise the extraction channel
can become clogged.
Do not connect a dust bag to the extraction
adapter. Otherwise the extraction system
can become clogged.
To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction
adapter 25 must be cleaned regularly.
External Dust Extraction
Connect the vacuum hose 26 to a vacuum clean-
er (accessory). An overview for connecting to
various vacuum cleaners can be found at the

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.
