Preparing for use

Vacuum dust extraction

Reducer piece

WARNING! DANGER OF FIRE! There is the danger of fire when working with electrical devices that have a dust box or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner. Under certain conditions the wood dust in the dust extraction bag (or in the vacuum‘s dust bag) may ignite, e.g. as a result of flying sparks generated when abrading metals or metal objects left in wood. This can happen partic- ularly if the wood dust is mixed with paint residue or other chemicals and the abraded particles are hot from prolonged abrasion. Therefore you must empty the device’s dust collection box and the vacuum cleaner’s dust bag before taking a break or stopping work and always avoid overheating of the abraded particles and the device.

Wear a dust mask!

WARNING! Always pull the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the device.
