Arrangement for sucking dust

摘要

A method for sucking dust in connection with a rock drilling rig, and a rock drilling rig. The rock drilling rig (1) comprises a dust collection system provided with a suction device (11) to produce suction for sucking dust from a drill hole (8) through a first suction channel (12). The rock drilling rig further comprises a second suction channel (17) allowing the suction effect of the dust collection system to be utilized for sucking dust from a location other than the drill hole, for example from the control cabin (15). Exhaust suction is controlled by means of a control unit (26, 48).
