Abstract
A system includes a power tool and a suction device that is connected to the power tool via a suction hose. The power tool is drivable into a wall or into a substrate by a negative pressure produced by the suction device. A method includes driving the power tool into the wall or into the substrate by using the negative pressure produced by the suction device that is connected to the power tool via the suction hose.
Claims13
A system, comprising:
- a power tool;
- a suction device;
- a suction hose connected to the power tool and the suction device;
- a water collecting ring which is fastenable to a wall or to a substrate with a negative pressure produced by the suction device and transmitted via the suction hose, wherein a dust-water mixture formed from cooling water and drilling dust is collectable by the water collecting ring and wherein the water collecting ring includes a driver;
- wherein the power tool is drivable into the wall or into the substrate by the negative pressure produced by the suction device and by the driver of the water collecting ring;
- and
- a communication link formed between the power tool and the suction device, wherein data and/or a command and/or information is exchangeable between the power tool and the suction device via the communication link.

A method for driving a power tool into a wall or into a substrate, comprising the steps of:
- exchanging data and/or a command and/or information between the power tool and a suction device via a communication link formed between the power tool and the suction device;
- driving the power tool into the wall or into the substrate by using a negative pressure produced by the suction device, wherein the suction device is connected to the power tool via a suction hose, and by a driver of a water collecting ring, wherein the water collecting ring is fastened to the wall or to the substrate with the negative pressure produced by the suction device;
- and
- collecting a dust-water mixture formed from cooling water and drilling dust by the water collecting ring.
