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
. If you use a cable drum, always
2
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.
