When using devices for dust collection and
extraction, be sure these are connected and
used according to tool instructions. Proper
use of dust collection can reduce dust related
hazards.
Empty the dust box before beginning work,
frequently during work, after completion of
work, and before storing the tool. Be
extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in
fine particles form may be explosive.
Do not throw dust on an open fire.
Combustion from mixture of varnishes,
lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust
particles can occur if there is a static
discharge, electric spark, or excessive heat.
Do not use dust extraction for operations
where dust may include burning, smoking or
smoldering items like hot ashes or sparks.
Fire inside the dust box may occur. Dust may
smolder and set the device on fire long after
work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings,
cleaners, or oil-based paints. Electric motors
create sparks, which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Specific Safety Rules for Attachment

Additional Safety Warnings

Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing
Do not use dust extraction when working on
metal. Swarf from drilling metal may be hot
and may spark which may melt plastic
adaptors, vacuum hoses and may cause a fire
inside the vacuum tank or bag.
Do not drill into metal with the dust
extraction system mounted. Hot metal chips
can self-ignite or ignite parts of the dust
extraction system.
Do not drill into wood with dust extraction
system mounted. Wood chips are typically too
large and will clog the dust channel.
Do not use to clean asbestos.
To prevent damage to the HEPA filter, do
not use this dust extraction attachment
when drilling with liquids or into wet
materials. Replace the HEPA filter when
collected dust particles may not be
removed from the filter material. Damaged
filter may create a risk of exposure to
crystalline silica dust.
Note: Do not use the dust extraction system
when chiseling, driving screws or cutting
threads.
Your risk from these exposures varies;
depend ing 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 those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
