Dust Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings and some
wood types can be harmful to one's health. Breathing in the
dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered
carcinogenic, especially in connection with
wood-treatment additives.
5
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material
being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use dust class M vacuum cleaner.
Connecting Dust Extractor Hose (Fig. O1, O2)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed in
compliance with the applicable directives regarding dust emission
when routing wood.
CAUTION: Do not operate the router without the dust cap if
the router is not connected to a dust extraction system.

nOTE: When using dust extraction, be sure that the vacuum
cleaner is out of the way and secure so that it will not tip over
or interfere with the router or workpiece. The vacuum hose
and power cord must also be positioned so that they do not
interfere with the router or workpiece. If the vacuum cleaner
or vacuum hose cannot be positioned properly, it should
be removed.
