For your Safety
External electromagnetic interference (e.g. mains voltage fluctuations, elec-
trostatic 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.
Before use, check all water-carrying parts – including those of the accesso-
ries – for perfect working order and leaks.
Leaking water increases the risk of an electric shock.
Safety of people
Wear personal protective equipment and, depending on the work situation,
use:
full-face protection, eye protection or safety glasses/goggles,
hard hat and special apron
Protect yourself against debris thrown up by wearing a hard hat, safety
goggles 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
hearing damage or even hearing loss.
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).
When working with the concrete cutter / chaser, very fine and toxic
dusts can be produced, which are bound by the added water. If the
used water with the bound dust is not extracted the bound dust is re-
released after drying. When cutting materials containing quartz there
therefore is a very high risk of silicosis; the machine should therefore
only be used in conjunction with a suitable water extractor (e.g. a
special BAIER dust extractor).
Anti-vibration safety gloves
At a release value A (8) for arm-hand vibrations of over 2.5 m/s
2
, the
wearing of anti-vibration safety gloves is recommended.
Vibrations can cause health damage.
Non-slip safety footwear
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.
