Baier BSM 2868, Translation Of The Original Instruction Manual

| 19 |

2.6  Machine­specific safety 

instructions

2.6.1 Operating personnel 

requirements

• 

People below the age of 16 may not use the 

machine.

2.6.2 Workplace safety

• 

Do not use the power tool near flammable 

 materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

• 

Avoid causing situations where other people 

can stumble or trip.

Tripping over cables can cause serious injuries.

• 

Avoid dust accumulation in the workplace.

Dusts can easily ignite.

• 

Ensure adequate ventilation in closed rooms.

Risk due to dust and impaired vision.

2.6.3 Electrical safety

• 

The BSM 2868 – 110 V power tool may only be 

operated with a perfectly functioning PRCD 

personal protection switch (see page 23).

• 

Before starting up the power tool you must 

ensure that a perfectly functioning protective 

earth (PE) conductor is available.

• 

Before each use, check the power tool, 

connection cable and plug for damage.

Damaged equipment is dangerous, and no longer 

safe to use.

• 

Note the mains voltage! The power source 

voltage must match the details given on the 

rating plate of the power tool.

• 

If using the power tool with mobile 

generators, loss of power or atypical 

behaviour on switching on is possible.

• 

Do not use the power tool if the cable is 

 damaged. Do not touch the damaged cable 

and disconnect the mains plug if the cable is 

damaged while you are working.

Damaged cables increase the risk of an  electric 

shock.

• 

Only use extension cables suitable for the 

 machine's power consumption and which 

have a minimum core cross­section of 

1.5 mm

2

. If you use a cable drum, always 

 completely unwind the cable.

The rolled up cable can heat up and start to burn.

• 

Regularly clean the ventilation slots of your 

power tool by blowing it out. Never use 

liquids. Never insert screwdrivers or any other 

objects into the ventilation slits. Do not cover 

the ventilation slits.

The motor fan draws dust into the housing and a 

large accumulation of metal dust can cause elec-

trical hazards.

• 

External electromagnetic interference (e.g. 

mains voltage fluctuations, electrostatic 

discharges) can cause the power tool to 

switch off automatically.

In this case, switch off the power tool and then 

switch it back on again.

2.6.4 Safety of people

• 

Wear personal protective equipment and, 

 depending on the work situation, use:

Full­face protection, eye protection 

or safety glasses/goggles, hard hat 

and special apron

Protect yourself against debris thrown 

up by wearing a hard hat, safety gog-

gles or face protection and wear an 

apron, if necessary.

Hearing protection

The typical A-weighted sound pressure 

level of this power tool is over 85 dB (A) 

while working with the tool.

If you are exposed to loud noise for 

lengthy periods, there is a risk of hear-

ing damage or even hearing loss.

Anti­vibration safety glove

At a release value A (8) for arm-hand 

vibrations of over 2.5 m/s2, the wear-

ing of anti-vibration safety gloves is 

 recommended.

Half­mask with filter

Fine dust can be produced when dry 

substances are added during mixing. 

The risk of silicosis is very high when 

mixing materials containing quartz, 

therefore a suitable half-mask with filter 

must be worn.

Asbestos-containing material may 

only be machined by specialists.
