ROUTER DUST COLLECTION
There are three optional dust extraction hood
accessories. Each dust extraction hood is
sized to accept 35mm vacuum hoses. Each
accessory pack includes the VAC002 adapter
that will connect the hood to 1-1/4” and 1-1/2”
vacuum hoses. An adapter to connect the
hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also available
separately.
ROUTER DUST COLLECTION FOR
PLUNGE BASE
This dust extraction hood is designed for use
the plunge base (RA1166) when routing is
done in the middle of the workpiece, such as
when creating slots or routing patterns for
inlays. If you have a shop vacuum system, you
can attach the dust extraction hood for
improved visibility, accuracy and utility,
particularly in freehand routing.
To attach, position as shown and secure
adapter to base with the thumbscrews
provided (Fig. 16).
The dust extraction hood can also be installed
with the hose outlet facing the front of the tool.
If the templet guide adapter is installed, it will
need to be reversed or removed to allow the
release lever to fit under the dust hood.
