dust extractor cleantec

Seems clear enough in the manual yes. If the socket says it too, that's twice. Just really strange that the website says something else entirely.

Yes mate this is what is making me confused because the dealer said they have been asked this many times and its fine so who knows

Pretty sure the vac can handle it just fine. Maybe the 500w is some English jobsite regulation?

I have looked hi and low on the net for the combo i got and it seems that in the UK everyone is selling the same combination of tools so im guessing its fine.
I can run them separate off a splitter and just get the bluetooth switch i guess.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Wow thanks Doug, that is a very good link. I was also thinking whats the point of an extractor with only 500w output. I mean your not gonna pay that much to only be able to use it with a dremmel.
Very good link fella, cheers

I’ve spoken to our technical trainer who has informed me that yours is a common query -  it is fine to use. The sticker needs to applied due to legislation.

So all is
