Specific Safety Rules for Attachment
When using devices for dust collection and
extraction, be sure these are connected and
used according to tool instructions. Proper
use of dust collection can reduce dust related
hazards.

frequently during work, after completion
of work, and before storing the tool. Be ex-
tremely careful of dust disposal, materials in
fine particles form may be explosive.
Do not throw dust on an open fire. Com-
bustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers,
polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles
can occur if there is a static discharge, electric
spark, or excessive heat.
Do not use dust extraction for operations
where dust may include burning, smoking or
smoldering items like hot ashes or sparks.

concrete, brick, stone, ceramic and tiles. The
dust extraction attachment must not be used
when drilling in wood, metal or plastic.
The dust extraction attachment may be
used only with Bosch GBH18V-22 rotary
hammer.
Fire inside the dust box may occur. Dust may
smolder and set the device on fire long after
work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings, clean-
ers, or oil-based paints. Electric motors create
sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Do not use dust extraction when working on
metal. Swarf from drilling metal may be hot
and may spark which may melt plastic adap-
tors, vacuum hoses and may cause a fire inside
the vacuum tank or bag.
Do not drill into metal with the dust ex-
