  • Publication number: 20230311260
    Abstract: A power tool system and to a method for connecting a vacuuming device to a power tool. The system comprises a power tool having a tool, a vacuuming device for extracting dust that arises when working with the power tool, and a suction connection device, wherein the suction connection device is arranged between the tool of the power tool and the power tool and is connectable to the power tool in that a toothing of the power tool is able to be engaged with a mating toothing on the suction connection device. The present invention advantageously makes it possible for a suction hose that connects the vacuuming device and the suction connection device of the power tool system together to be able to be fixed relative to a handle of the power tool. Furthermore, an angle between the suction hose and the handle of the power tool can be set particularly easily.
