Dust extraction

Breathing in dust can damage the
respiratory passage! Always connect the machine
to a dust extractor. When performing work that
generates dust, always wear a dust mask.
Extraction hoods are supplied for both router
tables; a Festool extractor (extractor hose with
a diameter of 27 mm) can be connected to these
extraction hoods.
The dust extractor (extractor hose with dia. 27 mm)
can also be attached to the "large surface router
table" or the side stop depending on the applica-
tion.
