7.8 Connection of a Dust
Collector
Danger! 
A
Some types of saw dust (e.g.
of oak, beech and ash wood) may
cause cancer when inhaled: always
use a dust collector when working
indoors (required air speed at the
saw's suction connector  20 m/s).
Caution! 
A
Operation without a dust col-
lector is only possible:
 outdoors;
 for short-term operation 
(up to 30 minutes maximum);
 with dust respirator.
 If no dust collector is used chips
will accumulate, which need to be
removed periodically.
Connect dust collector or industrial vac-
54
uum with a suitable adaptor to the dust
extraction port.
7.9 Connection to Power
Mains
B

Danger! High voltage
Operate machine in dry environ-

ment only.
Operate machine only on a power

source matching the following
requirements (see also "Techni-
cal specifications"):
 mains voltage and system fre-
quency conform to the voltage
and frequency shown on the
machine's name plate;
 fuse protection by a residual
current operated device (RCD)
of 30 mA sensitivity;
 outlets properly installed,
earthed and tested.
Make sure the power supply

cable is out of the way, so that it
does not interfere with the work
and does not pose a tripping haz-
ard or will get damaged.
Protect the power supply cable

from heat, aggressive liquids and
sharp edges.
Use only rubber-jacketed exten-

sion cables with sufficient lead
cross-section (3 x 1.5 mm
Do not pull on the power supply
