3.7 Dust collector safety
a)
Always use a Blastrac dust collector
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 dust collector 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!

Maintenance safety
a)
Pull out the main plug and place it in sight, before changing the drum or starting inspections and repairing
on the machine. Pull out the key of the dead man’s switch and keep it in your pocket.
b)
Wait for a standstill of all drives before any inspections, adjustments and/or maintenance work is started.
c)
Block the machine in a stable position before doing any maintenance work.
d)
Failures due to inadequate or incorrect maintenance may generate very
high repair costs
and long
standstill periods of the machine.
Regular
maintenance therefore is imperative.
e)
Operational safety and service life of the machine depends, among other things, on proper maintenance.
f)
Prevent premature wear by keeping the machine as dust free as possible. Clean the machine for this
reason regularly with a dust collector and non-aggressive materials. Never use a high pressure water
cleaner to clean the machine.
g)
Do not use any
aggressive
cleaning materials!
h)
Use lint-free
cleaning cloths
!
i)
It is advisable to stock all spare parts or wear parts that cannot be supplied quickly. As a rule, production
standstill periods are more expensive than the cost for the corresponding spare part.
j)
The suitable precautions include decontamination before disassembling the machine, adequate filtered
ventilation of the exhaust air from the room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of the maintenance area
and suitable personal protection equipment.
k)
Always read the enclosed OWNER’S MANUAL of the Hatz diesel engine before operating the machine.
l)
The OWNER’S MANUAL contains important information about getting the best performance and safe
operation / maintenance of the diesel engine.
m)
The OWNER’S MANUAL should be considered a permanent part of the engine and should remain with the
engine if resold.
3.9
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 BMC-335EHY is 405 kilogram without diamond blades. The weight of the BMC-335GHY
is 359 kilogram without diamond blades. Use a crane or lift when transporting the machine, use the lifting
eyes on the machine.
c)
Before every use check the lifting eyes and welds for: deformation, damages, cracks, corrosion and wear.
d)
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.
e)
During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the
machine and working environment.
f)
Never stand directly below the machine.
g)
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.
h)
The lifting eyes can also be used to fasten the machine on a pallet or during transport.
i)
Always drive backwards when driving up to a ramp or grade, and forwards when driving of the ramp.
j)
Chock wheels for transport and keep the treadle in engaged position, this will function as a brake on the
wheels.
k)
Don’t leave the machine unsecured on jobsites.
l)
Park the machine always on a flat horizontal and levelled surface.
m)
Remove the dirt, dust and debris from the machine before transport.
n)
Make sure the electrical cable and dust hose are disconnected before transport.
o)
Store the cleaned and dry machine in a humid free room. Protect the motor from moisture, heat dust and
shocks.
