6. Before starting the equipment
Unpack the dust extraction system and
check it for damage which may have occurred in
transit.
The machine has to be set up where it can stand
securely. All covers and safety devices have to
be properly fitted before the machine is switched
on.
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure
that the debris bags are securely fastened!
Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the
same as your supply voltage before you connect
the machine to the power supply.
7. Assembly (Fig. 1, 3-15)
Important. Pull out the power plug before
carrying out any maintenance, resetting or
assembly work on the dust extraction
system!
Undo the two nuts (E) on both sides of the plastic
housing (13) (Fig. 3).
Guide the side panels (12) over the screws on the
plastic housing (13) and secure them with the
nuts (E) (Fig. 4-5).
Place the strengthening plate (9) between the
side panels (12) and secure it with the screws (B)
and nuts (C) (Fig. 6).
Secure the chassis (8) to the side panels (12)
using the screws (D) and nuts (C) (Fig. 7).
Now thread the quick-release device (3) through
the sewn-in guide in the dust bag (2) (Fig. 8-9).
Place the dust bag hook (1) into the hole for the
dust bag hook (14) in the plastic housing (13)
and attach the dust bag (2) to the dust bag hook
(1) (Fig. 10).
Snap the dust bag (2) over the top opening in the
plastic housing (13) so that it completely
surrounds the opening and secure it using the
quick-release device (3) (Fig. 11).
Pull the debris bag (6) over the bottom opening in
the plastic housing (13) so that it completely
surrounds the opening and secure it using the
quick-release device (5) (Fig. 12).
Move a hose fastening (A) over the extractor
hose (11). Plug the extractor hose (11) onto the
extractor connection of the equipment as far as
the stop and secure the hose to the connection
using the hose fastening (A) (Figure 13).
If equipment with an extractor connection
diameter of 100 mm is to be connected to the
extraction system, slip a hose fastener (A) over
the extractor hose (11). Now plug the connection
adapter (18) into the extractor hose (11) as far as
the stop and secure it by tightening the hose
fastener (A) (Fig. 14a/15). Plug the connection
adapter (18) onto the extractor connection of the
equipment you want to use.
If you wish to operate devices with an extraction
connection diameter of 36 mm, place the
reduction adapter (17) on the free end of the
extractor hose (11) and secure it with the hose
clip(A) (Fig. 14b/15). One or two extractor hoses
with a diameter of 36 mm can now be connected
to the reduction adapter (17). Leave the sealing
stopper on the second opening on the reduction
adapter (17) if you only wish to operate on 36
mm hose. To use tow 36 mm hoses, remove the
sealing stopper and use both 36 mm connections
on the reduction adapter (17).

As soon as you switch on the tool the dust
extraction system will start up.
When you switch off the tool, the dust extraction
system will switch off as well after a pre-set delay.
8.4 Emptying the debris bag
Inspect and empty the debris bag (6) regularly!
Important: Remove the power plug!
Hold the filled debris bag in place with one
hand.
