exclusively in conjunction with a dust category M vacuum cleaner,
suitable for extracting dust and gravel.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same
voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on
single‐phase AC supply. The tool is double‐insulated in accordance
with European Standard and can, therefore be used from non‐
grounded sockets.
Dust extraction
Dust released when processing (grinding of minerals) can be harmful
to one's health. Touching or breathing‐in the dusts can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
To achieve a high degree of dust extraction, use a dust category M
vacuum cleaner for mineral dust together with this power tool.
Provide good ventilation of the working place.
It is recommended to wear a FFP2 filter class respirator
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to
be worked.
Please observe the following notes in order to reduce the dust
emissions occurring while working.
Only use combinations of diamond grinding tools, concrete
grinders with mounted guard and extraction hood as well as dust
category M vacuum cleaners that are recommended by Carat.
Other combinations can lead to insufficient dust collection and
separation.
Observe the operating instructions of the vacuum cleaner for
maintenance and cleaning of the vacuum cleaner, including the
filter. Empty dust collection containers immediately once full.
Clean the filters of the vacuum cleaner regularly and always insert
the filters completely into the vacuum cleaner.
Only use vacuum hoses as intended by Carat. Do not manipulate
the vacuum hose. When rocks or chunks of stone/masonry are
drawn into the vacuum hose, cease work and clean the vacuum
hose immediately. Prevent the vacuum hose from being bent or
creased.
Use the concrete grinder only as intended for.
Observe the general requirements for construction sites.
Provide for good ventilation.
Ensure that the work area is free of obstructions. For longer
grinding jobs, the vacuum cleaner must be able to move along
freely and at the right time.
Wear hearing protection, protective goggles, a dust mask and
gloves as required. As dust mask, use at least a particle‐filtering
class FFP 2 half‐mask.
Use a suitable vacuum cleaner for cleaning the workplace. Prevent
settled dust from being swirled up by sweeping.
