GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This dust extractor is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the dust extractor - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure beside.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an out-
let having the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with this appliance.

Further safety instructions
– This appliance must not be used by persons (in-
cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge. Children need to be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING! Various dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles. Wash hands after handling.

Technical data
Functional description
The pictures for the functional description are on a
fold-out page at the beginning of the instruction
manual. When reading of the manual you can fold
out this page for having always an overview of the
machine.
Operation
Consider the pictures on the fold-out page.
Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have suffi-
cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in
voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage
reduces the output and can lead to failure of the
motor. The table below shows you the correct cord
diameter as a function of the cord length for this
tool.
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
