2 Operating safety
2.1 General safety instructions
• Study the operating instructions carefully.
• All operators must be familiar with the contents of the operating in-
structions.
For this purpose, always keep the operating instructions within easy
reach.
• Do not remove the instruction labels.
• Do not disable safety devices.
• Independent conversions of the device negate the conformity with
European directives declared by Fritsch and void the warranty.
• The cross beater mill is intended exclusively for use as specified in the
section 1.4.1 .
Any other use is considered improper; the manufacturer accepts no li-
ability for damages resulting from improper use.
• In addition to the operating instructions, observe and instruct adherence
to all generally applicable statutory and otherwise binding regulations
on accident prevention and environmental protection.
• If a noise level of 85 dB(A) is reached or exceeded, hearing protec-
tion should also be worn to prevent hearing damage.
• Use original accessories and spare parts only. Failure to adhere to
this may jeopardize the protection of the machine.
• Do not continue using damaged accessories.
• The occupational exposure limits of the valid safety instructions must be
observed and if necessary, ventilation should be provided or the ma-
chine should be operated under a hood.
• During comminution of oxidisable substances (e.g. metals or coal),
there exists a danger of self-ignition (dust explosion) if the portion of
fine material exceeds a specific percentage.
• The cross beater mill is not designed with explosion protection and is
not suitable for grinding of explosive materials.
• These operating instructions do not contain any repair instructions. Re-
pairs may only be performed by Fritsch GmbH or authorised service
technicians.
2.2 Operators
• The cross beater mill may only be operated by authorised persons and
maintained and repaired by trained experts.
• People who are under the influence of health impairments, medications,
drugs, alcohol or excess fatigue may not operate the cross beater mill.
