Application advice
The backlit control panel allows you to select the power level suited to the type of sanding, adjust the hose diameter and activate the Auto-start function on the two integrated power sockets. The latter automatically starts the extractor as soon as you activate your sander, optimising energy consumption and working comfort.
Bluetooth connectivity allows you to control the unit via the myMirka app to customise settings according to your working habits. The automatic filter cleaning system (AFC) maintains optimal extraction during use, while the 17-litre container limits interruptions for emptying, even during extended sessions.
Integrated storage space facilitates transport of accessories and hoses. Available without hose, with pre-equipped sleeve or with 4-metre hose depending on your existing site configuration.

Pro tips
When sanding substrates containing silica or hazardous dust, M-class is the minimum regulatory requirement. Check the condition of the main filter regularly despite automatic cleaning: a saturated filter drastically reduces extraction efficiency and unnecessarily strains the motor. On site, the Auto-start function prevents leaving the extractor running, but remember to correctly synchronise the hose diameter setting with your machine to guarantee optimal extraction at source.
Wet mode use is particularly appreciated for extracting plaster or filler sanding residue before painting, but you must empty the container after each wet session to avoid any filter deterioration or odour development. Professionals often combine this extractor with Mirka DEROS or CEROS orbital sanders for a perfectly integrated system controlled from the app.
FAQ
What is the difference between a class M dust extractor and a standard site vacuum?
A class M dust extractor is certified for extracting moderately hazardous dust (occupational exposure limit above 0.1 mg/m³), including hardwood dust, plaster and certain finishing dusts. It guarantees a particle retention rate exceeding 99.9% and features filtration and extraction systems compliant with occupational safety standards, unlike a standard site vacuum.
Can I connect any sander to the DEXOS 1217 AFC?
Yes, the extractor accepts sanders from all brands thanks to its adjustable hose diameter settings. However, the Auto-start function via integrated power sockets and Bluetooth control via myMirka operate optimally with compatible Mirka sanders. For other brands, suction performance remains excellent but automatic startup occurs only via electrical consumption detection.
Does automatic filter cleaning eliminate the need for manual maintenance?
No, the AFC system extends the duration between cleanings but does not eliminate the need for regular inspection and manual cleaning of the main filter. Depending on usage intensity and dust type, weekly or fortnightly cleaning is recommended to maintain optimal performance and preserve motor longevity.
Which variant should I choose: without hose, with duct or with 4 m hose?
If you already own a compatible hose, opt for the no-hose version. The pre-equipped duct variant suits fixed workshop setups. For versatile use on site with portable sanders, the 4-metre hose version offers the best balance of mobility and reach without additional accessory investment.
Can the DEXOS 1217 be used to extract liquids?
Yes, the 17-litre tank is designed for dry and wet use. However, remove or protect the main filter according to manufacturer instructions before extracting liquids, and empty the tank immediately after use to prevent mould or corrosion risks.
