OSHA

Dust extraction systems should be used in conjunction with woodworking and concrete tools during any and all applications.

Bosch offers a complete dust-extraction system that complies with OSHA requirements. This includes has a full line of grinders and cut-off saws, hammers and hammer drills, routers and router tables, jig saws and circular saws, miter saws and table saws, and sanders and planers.

Dust extractors should be a sealed system that filters 100 percent of the air captured in the suction hose. The captured air must be filtered through a HEPA filter before being exhausted from the vacuum.

The Bosch VAC090S and VAC090A nine-gallon dust extractors and VAC140S and VAC140A 14-gallon dust extractors provide a best-in-class cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) rate and suction power. When a Bosch VF120H HEPA filter is installed in one of the dust extractors, the unit is compliant to the EPA rule for HEPA vacuums.

Silica dust can't be eliminated, but it can be managed. Not all debris can be efficiently collected into a vacuum for easy disposal. But rather than manage dust and debris, many contractors get managed by it.

With the right equipment, dust can be extracted during the construction application. This is an important part of environmental management aiming to mitigate dust for the health of on-site construction crews and to keep the jobsite as clean as possible.

• Significant reduction in jobsite cleanup costs
• Improved worker health
• Lower health-management costs
• Cleaner work environment

• Extensive cleanup, every day
• Worker health can be reduced
• Higher health-related costs
• Messy inefficient surroundings

For frequent use, use in all-day jobs, the dedicated tools can provide more power, better dust-sealing systems for longer tool life, heavier duty shroud or guard mounts and special features on the shroud or guard itself.

For infrequent use or small jobs, there are many choices for attachments of any kind to add to your power tool. As tools and attachments change over time, make sure that whatever attachment you need fits the tool you are using.

Dust-extraction systems from Bosch are available for a wide variety of tools, while dust-extraction attachments are custom engineered to provide top performance while preserving the full functionality of the tool. The connections provide a secure fit from tool to vacuum.
