An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run-
ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the to-
tal working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such
as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Bosch Power Tools
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box
(see Fig. A1 – A4)
Before assembling the dust box 6, pull out the
plastic slider 12. Place the dust box 6 onto the
extraction outlet 13 and allow it to engage.
Make sure that the plastic slider 12 engages in
the holder 11.
To empty the dust box 6, press the latching
levers 14 on the side of the dust box ( ). Pull
off the dust box toward the bottom ( ).
Before opening the dust box 6, it is recommend-
ed to loosen the dust from the filter element by
gently striking it against a firm support (as
shown in the figure).
Grasp the dust box 6 by the recessed grip, fold
the filter element 15 upward and empty the dust
box. Clean the thin plates of the filter element
15 with a soft brush.
External Dust Extraction (see figure B)
Slide the extraction adapter 16 onto the outlet
piece 13. Ensure that the latching levers of the
extraction adapter engage. The extraction
adapter 16 accepts a vacuum hose with a diam-
eter of 19 mm.
For removal of the extraction adapter 16, press
the latching levers together at the rear and pull
the extraction adapter off.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
