Dust Ejection System (fig. 1)
The dust ejection system (k) prevents dust pile-up

voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the ratingplate.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
DeWALT serviceorganisation.
