4.4 Chip extraction
For all work that produces a significant amount of dust, connect the machine to a suitable external extraction
device. The air velocity must be at least 20 m/s [65 ft/sec].
The inner diameter of the hose connector is 35 mm [1.4 in].
For short-time work that generates a small amount of dust, you can use the shavings bag provided as a self-
suction device.
4.5 Saw blade selection
To achieve good cutting quality, use a sharp tool and select a tool from the following list that is appropriate for
material and application:
Cutting softwood and hardwood across and along the grain direction:
- Carbide circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm, 32 teeth [Ø 6.30 x 0.07 x 0.79 in]
Cutting softwood and hardwood especially along the grain direction:
- Carbide circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm, 16 teeth [Ø 6.30 x 0.07 x 0.79 in]
Cutting softwood and hardwood especially across the grain direction:
- Carbide circular saw blade Ø 162 x 1.8 x 20 mm, 48 teeth [Ø 6.38 x 0.07 x 0.79 in]
Cutting softwood and hardwood especially across the grain direction "fine cuts":
- Carbide circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm, 56 teeth [Ø 6.30 x 0.07 x 0.79 in]
Cutting wood fiber insulation material:
- Carbide circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm, 32 teeth [Ø 6.30 x 0.07 x 0.79 in]
Cutting plastic material (styrofoam):
- Carbide circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm, 16 teeth [Ø 6.30 x 0.07 x 0.79 in]
