the machine on the face side of the motor hous-
ing.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
— Use dust extraction whenever possible.
— Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
— It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Mounting the Extraction Adapter
(see figure B)
Attach the extraction adapter 22 onto the saw-
dust ejector 14 until it latches. A vacuum hose
with a diameter of 35 mm can be connected to
the extraction adapter 22 .
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 22 must be cleaned regularly.
