es of the saw blade.
6.8 Dust extraction
The CS 70 AB extractor set is available as an acces-
sory and includes adapters for connecting the saw
unit to a Festool mobile dust extractor. The ex-
tractor set allows the user to simultaneously ex-
tract dust and chips both at the portable circular
saw (dia. 36 mm) and the protective cover (dia.
27 mm).

The switch-/socket-unit [8-1] serves as voltage
supply and as ON-/OFF-switch of a power tool build
into the CMS-GE.
 Insert the plug into an earthed socket.
 Plug the electric power tool installed in the
CMS-GE into the connector .
