Dust extraction with Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor
To prevent having to frequently empty the dust bag
when carrying out sanding work for a long period of
time, you can connect Festool's mobile dust ex-
tractor (with an extraction hose diameter of 27 mm)
to the extractor connection piece [1-4].
Recommendation: Use an antistatic suction hose.

pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
