Hazards When Using And Handling The Power Tool - Baier BDB 825 Translation Of The Original Instruction Manual

Dust mask, half-face filter mask or
face mask respirator
Inhaling fine mineral dust can cause
health damage. We recommend
wearing a face mask respirator with
filter class P2 or P3 (to EN 149:2001).
Dry drilling: Work with diamond dry
core bits is a grinding process in which
very fine dust is produced. When
drilling materials containing quartz
there is a very high risk of silicosis;
in this case the machine may only be
used in conjunction with a suitable
dust extractor (e.g. a special BAIER
dust extractor).
Wet drilling: Working with diamond
core drill bits is a grinding process,
during which extremely fine dust
is produced, which is bound by the
added water. If the used water with
the bound dust is not collected, the
bound dust is re-released after drying.
As a result, the risk of silicosis is very
high when drilling materials containing
quartz; the machine must therefore
only be used in conjunction with the
BAIER wet adapter, the centring
suction plate and a suitable water
suction appliance (e.g. a BAIER
special dust extractor).
•
Ensure other people keep a safe distance
from your work area. Any person entering
the work area must be wearing personal
protective equipment.
Broken pieces of the workpiece or broken insert
tools can fly off and cause injuries, even outside
the immediate work area.
•
Hold the tool at the insulated gripping
surfaces only when carrying out work during
which the insert tool can hit concealed
electricity cables or the tool's own mains
power lead.
Contact with a live conductor can also energise
metal parts of the tool and cause an electric
shock.
•
Keep the mains power lead away from
rotating insert tools.
If you lose control of the tool, the mains power
lead can be cut or caught and your hand or arm
can be pulled into the rotating tool.
•
Never put down the power tool until the
insert tool has come to a complete standstill.
The rotating insert tool can come into contact
with the surface on which the power tool is
placed, which could cause you to lose control of
the power tool.
•
Do not leave the power tool running while
you are carrying it.
Your clothing can get caught by inadvertent
contact with the rotating insert tool and the
insert tool can drill into your body.
•
If the machine is switched on, do not direct
insert tools towards your own or other
people's bodies. Do not touch or take hold
of the tools.
•
Always wear hearing protection during
hammer drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause a loss of hearing.
•
Always use the additional handle supplied
with the tool.
Loss of control of the machine can result in
injuries.
2.6.5 Hazards when using and
handling the power tool
•
If the machine is used for hand-held
drilling, always hold both handles firmly
when switching on and while working with
the machine. (The additional handle must
be tightly screwed onto the drill!). When
switching on and while working with the
machine, expect reaction torques (e.g. due
to sudden jamming or breakage of the insert
tool).
•
Do not use any accessories. which have not
been especially provided and recommended
for this power tool by the manufacturer.
Just because you can attach the accessories
to your power tool is not a guarantee of safe use.
•
The approved speed of the insert tool must
be at least as high as the maximum speed
given on the power tool.
Accessories which rotate faster than approved
can break and fly off the tool.
•
Change insert tools carefully and only use
the mounting tools provided, if they are in
perfect condition. Disconnect the mains
plug before changing the insert tool.
Use of the mounting tool provided prevents
damage to the power tool and insert tool.
