Selecting the Sanding Sheet

Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate

of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:

Dust/Chip Extraction

f Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,

some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to

one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause

allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of

the user or bystanders.

Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials

containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-

ble for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the

materials to be worked.

f Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can

easily ignite.

Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box

(see figures D1– D4)

Attach the dust box 1 onto the extraction outlet 9 until it latch-

es.

To empty the dust box 1, press the latching levers 10 on the

side of the dust box (n). Pull off the dust box toward the bot-

tom (o).

Before opening the dust box 1, it is recommended to loosen

the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a

firm support (as shown in the figure).

Grasp the dust box 1 by the recessed grip, fold the filter ele-

ment 11 upward and empty the dust box. Clean the thin

plates of the filter element 11 with a soft brush.

External Dust Extraction (see figure E)

Slide the extraction adapter 12 onto the outlet piece 9. En-

sure that the latching levers of the extraction adapter engage.

The extraction adapter 12 accepts a vacuum hose with a di-

ameter of 19 mm.

An overview for connecting to different vacuum cleaners can

be found at the end of these operating instructions.

For removal of the extraction adapter 12, press the latching

levers together at the rear and pull the extraction adapter off.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being

worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to

health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
