The vacuum-adapter included with the EGX-30A can be attached to an ordinary household vacuum cleaner to remove cut-
ting chips during operation.
Before Using the Vacuum-adapter, Be Sure to Verify the Following Points
Use a vacuum cleaner that allows adjustment of the suction force and is equipped with an overload protector.
To prevent re or explosion, carefully check the specications of your vacuum cleaner before use, including contacting
the manufacturer if necessary.
Be sure to use a vacuum-cleaner hose having a diameter that allows connection with the vacuum-adapter.
The diameter of the vacuum-adapter is 32 millimeter (1.3 in.).
When the tting diameters do not match or when the vacuum duct cannot be inserted into the suction
opening of the vacuum cleaner, use strong commercial tape (cloth or electrical) to join the ttings.
