Vacuum dust extraction
Warning! Danger of fire! There is the danger of
fire when working with electrical devices that have
a dustbox 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 particularly 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 dust 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 tool.
Wear a dust mask!
