Many believe that to get rid of dust when drilling is very simple: it suffices to substitute into the drill pipe of a vacuum cleaner running. But it can not be done - the vacuum cleaner will be irrevocably damaged.


Concrete and brick dust is very shallow, and some of it seeps through all the filters and into the vacuum cleaner motor. Dust inevitably gets into the bearings and vacuum cleaner, nothing will. vacuum cleaner type here does not really matter - fine concrete dust penetrates through both any cyclone filters, and through the paper and textile bags.

The warranty of all household cleaners be sure there is a point, according to which, if the vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning of construction dust, it is removed from the guarantee.

When I made two big repair, I deliberately used two old vacuum cleaner. LG as with the concrete dust howled louder and louder, and warming himself harder and harder. After repairs, he still somehow worked, but it was no longer "the tenant". Bork old lived in a very long time, and at some point it jammed engine and from the smoke went.

Only industrial vacuum cleaners specifically designed for such use can be used for concrete and brick dust. In an extreme case it is possible, as I was, to use the old or very cheap vacuum cleaner "for slaughter".
