Dust control system launched by DeWalt

DeWalt has launched a new Dust Extractor Vacuum (DWV012). The Dust Extractor Vacuum was designed to provide dust control solutions for drywall sanding and concrete grinding, cutting and drilling applications.  

“Using a dust control system can decrease the potential for inhaling dust, increase visibility and reduce cleanup and maintenance costs,” said Jeff Beck, product manager, DeWalt.

The Dust Extractor Vacuum meets the EPA Lead Related Renovations, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule for HEPA vacuums when used with DWV9320 HEPA filters (included with the vacuum).  

The DWV012 has continuous auto filter cleaning, which means that every 30 seconds one of the filters is backflushed with air to remove dust to provide suction until the tank is full. The HEPA filters should be replaced every six months under normal applications.

The DWV012 includes a tool activation setting that turns on the Dust Extractor Vacuum whenever the user starts the connected tool, a variable speed to set the amount of suction and a bail handle for gripping and tying the tool down, ideal for users working on scaffolding or for transporting the unit.
