6.1 Fitting the dust removal module 2
NOTE
Dust may be released when the filter container is full.
Accordingly, the container should be emptied regularly.
Wear respiratory protection when doing this.
NOTE
The suction fan incorporated in the dust removal module
is driven by its own motor. This motor is powered by the
power tool's battery.
NOTE
Before fitting the dust removal module, check to ensure
that the attachment points and the power tool itself,
especially the electrical interface on the power tool, are

or other injury. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
concrete and other masonry products and natural stone,
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce expos-
ure to these chemicals, the operator and bystanders
should work in a well-ventilated area, work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such as respiratory protec-
tion appropriate for the type of dust generated, and
designed to filter out microscopic particles and direct
dust away from the face and body. Avoid prolonged
contact with dust. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to
get into your mouth, nose, eyes, or to remain on your
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
