The right dust class
Not every dust extractor is suitable for every type of dust. The dusts produced during your work are categorised into three dust classes:
- Dust class L: slightly hazardous dusts such as house dust, soil or lime
- Dust class M: harmful dusts such as wood dust, Scraper, filler or concrete
- Dust class H: particularly hazardous and carcinogenic dusts such as mould spores, asbestos and mineral fibres
Festool has the right dust extractor solution for every material!
