CAUTION
During work, inspect whether milling rings
still freely rotate on axes. If it is not the case,
e.g. due to accumulated dust; it is necessary
to remove it from the milling head. For this
reason the machine should not be operated
without suction system connected!
8.1
Suction system
To ensure the operability of suction system, put
the hose (36 mm diameter) of some Festool brand
vacuum cleaner onto the handle adaptor [1-4].
Keep in mind that as fi ltration sack is being fi lled,
the suction effectiveness signifi cantly reduces.
Also clean vacuum cleaner's fi lter time to time.
CAUTION
Always operate the machine with the suction
system connected; otherwise, the milling rings
as well as suction fl ange height adjustment
system will be clogged with dust!
To prevent discharges of static electricity in dusty
environment, use vacuum cleaners of antistatic
models only.
8.2
Additional handle
To operate the grinder with both hands, it is pos-
sible to fasten an additional handle [1-1] to the
left-hand side of gearbox cover's front part.
The special "VIBRASTOP" design reduces vibra-
tions in the additional handle.
