Health
Caution!
Vibrations can be transmitted over the
entire body, particularly to the arms
and hands. Very strong or continuous
exposure to vibration can cause nerve
and blood vessel disorders!
Danger!
Risk of fatal injury by touching live
parts.
Do not carry out any work on live parts.
Loose connections, damaged, partially
melted and melted through cables
should be replaced immediately.
Cable must not be pinched or
squeezed.
Cable must be laid in such a way that it
is not a trip hazard and that it cannot be
damaged.
Work on electrical equipment must
only be carried out by authorised
electrical experts.
Dusts from materials with a lead-content coating, some
types of wood, minerals and metals can represent a health
hazard. Touching or inhaling dusts can be the cause of
allergic reactions and/or respiratory disorders to the user
or persons in the vicinity.
Certain dust, such as that from oak or beech, are
considered carcinogenic, particularly in combination with
additives used in treating wood (chromate wood
preservatives). Material containing asbestos may only be
processed by specialists.
When working with these or comparable materials you
must provide an extraction system.
Avoid contact with power sources. The device is not
insulated against contact with live parts!
Handling the drive unit
The operating manual is intended for
trained expert personnel!
Non-observance
of
the
operating
instruction
manual
can
lead
to
personal injury and equipment failure!
Risk of entanglement!
Always wear close-fitting clothes when
completing the work.
Remove all jewellery before starting
work. Always wear a hair net if you
have long hair!
Risk of injury!
The tool must be held away from the
body when switched on! Do not reach
into a tool when it is in operation!
Handle tools carefully!
Risk of explosion!
The drive unit for flexible shafts must
not be used in explosion-endangered
areas!
Risk of explosion!
While grinding, dust can be created
which
could
form
a
potentially
explosive atmosphere. Observe the
regulations applicable in your country
of use for the machining of materials.
The machine may only be operated when in a perfect, fully-
functioning condition.
Keep the unit away from rain and damp. There is an
increased risk of electrical shock if water enters the
machine!
When working in the open, only use extension cables
approved for use outdoors.
Make sure the switch is set to OFF, before plugging in the
mains plug!
Only switch on the machine when the handpiece is ready
for operation!
The minimum clamping length of the tools must be
observed.
The BIAX drive unit may only be operated with suitable,
undamaged profile grinding tools, brushes and tungsten
carbide burrs.
The stipulated speeds of the drive unit, the handpieces, the
flexible shaft and the tools must be observed.
When using carbide burrs and brushes, ensure the
permissible circumferential speed is not exceeded to rule
out any risks of personal injury and property damage.
Complete a 30-second test run before starting to use the
unit.
The workpiece may only be processed by the grinding tool,
never with other parts of the rotating spindle. Damaged or
incorrectly fixed grinding tools can cause extreme
vibration.
If a tool falls, it must be checked for any damage.
Before starting work, and after each interruption, check the
unit and tool for signs of damage!
Check the tool is clamped securely in the collet of the
handpiece because the tool could become loose and fly
out of the collet!
