Using the Dust Extractor with a Power Tool
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re,
electric shock, injury,
and damage to the tool:
Do not plug any tool or appliance rated over
4.6 A / 550 W into the outlet on the dust extractor.
Check nameplate on the tool for the amp rating.
Many tools (such as sanders) are designed to be used
with dust extractors. The dust extractors collect the
dust that these tools create before it gets into the air
or onto the oor. Dust extractors with the AUTO set-
ting are ideal for collecting dust because they can be
set up to turn on and off automatically using the tool’s
AUTO/ON/OFF switch.
1. Connect hose to the
tool.
2. Plug the tool into the
outlet on the dust
extractor’s head.
3. Set the AUTO/ON/
OFF switch to the
AUTO position.
4. Turn on the tool and
the dust extractor
will start automatically within a few seconds.
5. When done, turn off the tool and the dust extractor
will stop automatically.
6. Unplug the tool and turn the dust extractor OFF (O)
when the job is complete.
