BEF200-1
Operating Manual
SAFETY
Only trained operatives should be allowed to work the BEF200.
All operatives should wear ear defenders, goggles and an effective dust mask.
Note: It is possible that the noise level produced by the BEF200 could exceed 90dbA.
Personal noise protection must be worn.
To control dust it is recommended that an SPE316 dust control unit is fitted.
Never leave the BEF200 unattended while in use. Always stop the motor and set the height
control to "Park" (height adjustment fully up) before leaving the machine.
Always ensure that all power leads are disconnected before attempting to service the machine.
The service of electrical components should be carried out by authorised personnel. Never
remove the side plate or belt guard until the cutter drum has come to a complete standstill.
Never tip the machine backwards until the cutters have come to rest.
Never operate the machine outdoors in wet conditions as the electrical components are not
waterproof.
Noise and vibration will occur at various levels dependent on the attachments and work being
completed. SPE have assessments conducted under test conditions detailed in the operating
manual. (See page 22). However it is recommended that additional tests are taken on site to
provide the operator with accurate information on using the equipment within the guidelines
laid down by the Health & Safety Executive
