h)
Do not use any
aggressive
cleaning materials! Use lint-free
cleaning cloths
!
i)
For the electrical parts, use a tool that is insulated against voltages.
3.6
Safety regarding dustcollectors
a)
Always use a Blastrac dust cleaner to ensure a dust-free operation of the machine and clean air at the
workspace. Also the airflow helps to cool the machine and prevents overheating.
b)
Read the operating instructions of the dust collector before using it.
c)
The dust container/bag of the dustcollector must be emptied regularly. Comply with the local waste
treatment regulations considering the removed material.
d)
The dust hose must be connected properly with a hose clamp and industrial tape.
e)
The dust hose must be undamaged and free of obstructions.
f)
Always switch on the dust collector first!
3.7
Grinding safety
a)
The machine contains rotating parts, which are protected with a sliding cover. Always leave the diamond
disc on the floor while the motor is turning.
b)
The flexible coupling can become worn out with use, because of this there can be higher vibrations than
normal. Check for this reason the flexible coupling for deformation and damage before every use.
c)
Do not let the machine rest on the diamond disc or coupling when it is not in use, this will cause
deformation to the flexible coupling.
d)
Make sure the brush seals are in good condition, this to avoid dust.
e)
Make sure the diamond disc is not damaged or worn out.
f)
Always pull out the main plug before u start changing the wings or disks.
g)
When mounting or removing a diamond disc; lay down the machine so it is lying on the handle. Make sure
the machine will not fall back down. A second person can hold the handle down to make sure it will not
fall back down.
h)
For changing the disks/wings u should wear Personal Protective Equipment like a dust mask, safety
goggles, gloves, protective shoes, and close fitting protective clothing.
Use the vacuum cleaner to prevent excessive dust.
i)
Caution!
The grinding disks / wings will heat up during grinding, don’t risk getting burned, always wear
protective gloves when handling them.
j)
The machine contains rotating parts; because of this never pull the machine backwards with a
turning motor.
k)
Be careful with the machine and pull or let down the machine slowly, big shocks can damage the electrical
parts.
l)
Make sure the floating shroud is in transport mode when you transport the machine.
m)
Clean the brush-sealing directly after wet grinding. It will be very hard to clean the brush-sealing when
the dust-water mixture has dried up and hardened.
n)
Be careful
, the workfloor can get slippery when grinding wet.
o)
Keep all electrical cables and connections away from water.
3.8
Transport safety
a)
Be aware of your surroundings and machine operating level. Do not side hill, do not run on steep incline,
this could cause machine to tip over.
b)
The weight of the BMG-555 is 298 / 282 kg. Use a crane or lift when transporting the machine, use the
lifting eyes of the machine.
c)
Before every use check the lifting eyes/lugs and welds for: deformation, damages, cracks, corrosion and
wear.
d)
Only lift the machine as shown in the picture below.
e)
When lifting the machine from the ground, always use the lowest lifting speed. The cables must first be
tensioned at this speed; they must not be slack when the machine is lifted from the ground.
f)
During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the
machine and working environment.
g)
Never stand directly below the machine.
h)
When transporting the machine do so in such a manner that damage due to the effects of the use of force
or incorrect loading and unloading is avoided.
i)
The lifting eyes can also be used to fasten the machine on a pallet or during transport.
