2.6.3 Electrical safety
•
Before each use, check the power tool, con
nection 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 genera
tors, 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
2
. If you use a cable drum, always
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
electrical hazards.
•
External electromagnetic interference (e.g.
mains voltage fluctuations, electrostat
ic discharges) can cause the power tool to
switch off automatically.
In this case, switch the power tool off and then
switch it back on again.
•
Do not use any cutting tools which require
liquid coolant.
The use of water or other liquid coolants could
result in an electric shock.
2.6.4 Safety of people
•
Wear personal protective equipment and, de
pending 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
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 hear-
ing damage or even hearing loss.
Antivibration safety gloves
At a release value A (8) for arm-hand
vibrations of over 2.5 m/s
2
, the wear-
ing of anti-vibration safety gloves is
recommended.
Nonslip safety footwear
Dust mask, halfface filter mask or
face mask respirator
Inhaling fine mineral dust can cause
health damage. We recommend wear-
ing a face mask respirator with filter
class P2 or P3 (to EN 149:2001).
Extremely fine and toxic dust can be
produced when working with the wall
chaser. When cutting materials con-
taining quartz there is a very high risk
of silicosis; the machine should there-
fore only be used in conjunction with a
suitable dust extractor (e.g. a special
BAIER dust extractor).
•
Ensure other people keep a safe distance
from your work area. Any person entering
the work area must be wearing personal pro
tective equipment.
Broken pieces of the workpiece or broken cut-
ting tools can fly off and cause injuries, even
outside the immediate work area.
