Use and Maintenance Manual
2.8 Accessories of the machine
The BIBULLDOG ADV series is supplied with the following accessories:
1. 30 mm (1 3/16”) hexagon wrench;
2. 8 mm (5/16”) socket head screw;
3. 80 cm (31 1/2”) trolley for sizes up to 12 cm (4 3/4”)of width;

6. Two extensions for sliding plane;
7. Striking plate;
8. Use and maintenance manual in the relative language.
2.9 Noise
The machine was designed and manufactured in such a way as to reduce at source the machine noise level.
Obviously, sound pressure varies in relation to the type of blade, its wear status and the material to be cut; hence, we have
made a series of measurements using different types of blades and different materials, both indoors and outdoors.
Measurements made in the operator position on a similar machine have provided the following values, where:
The weighted continuous equivalent sound pressure level A1 [LAeq = dB(A)] Outdoor measurements
Type of grinding wheel Type of material
Hollow Porcelain Stone
Continuous 68,8 93,0 88,8
Segmented 83,1 106,2 102,3
Weighted continuous equivalent sound pressure level A1 [LAeq = dB(A)] Indoor measurements
Type of grinding wheel Type of material

Page 12/44-2
The conditions for indoor measurements are the following:
Building size:
length 8 m (26’)
width 5 m (16’)
height 3 m (10’)
Type of premises:
floor polished concrete
covering tile
walls masonry with side glass
Instrument used Bruel & Kjaer mod. 2221 class 1
Reference standard DIN 45635
The use of the machine is only allowed provided that suitable hearing protection is ensured. The employer shall hence
compulsorily provide the operators with personal protection equipment (earphones, plugs).
2.10 Vibrations
The machine was designed to minimize the effects generated by vibrations. In any case, these are associated to relevant
factors, such as the type of material to be cut and wear of the disc.
The results of the measurements carried out in the field, implementing UNI EN ISO 8662-12:1999, are the following:
Handle
Linear values (0 = n.a.)
A lin x 16,0 m/sec2
A lin y 16,5 m/sec2
A lin z 12,2 m/sec2
A (lin) sum 26,4 m/sec2
Weighted values ISO 5349/2001 (0 = n.a.)
A lin x 1,5 m/sec2
A lin y 1,8 m/sec2
A lin z 1,3 m/sec2

Exposure time (hours)
Formula to calculate the level of daily exposure to vibrations - A(8)
For the comparison with exposure limit values and action values, the total weighted acceleration, obtained through the vector
sum of the components, shall be standardized, namely analytically referred to a reference time of 8 hours.

where, in line with the standard adopted symbols:
It is the total acceleration, sum of the three axial components.
It is the weighted equivalent acceleration for 8 hours.
It is the overall acceleration exposure time - A(w)sum
It is the reference time (8 hours, equal to 480 minutes or 28800 seconds).
In the overall assessment, non-continuous use caused by time fragmentation for material positioning and removal thereof
once split up shall be taken into account. RAIMONDI S.p.A. believes BIBULLDOG ADV shall be included in the group of
machines not exceeding the limit values provided for by the Directive 2004/44/EC.
If during the working day the operator foresees several exposures to vibrations of different origin and entity (as for the use of
several vibrating equipments), the parameter A(8) will have to be calculated as weighted sum of the different contributions:
where:
It is the total acceleration of the i-th operation.
It is the overall acceleration exposure time - A(w)sum,i
Consequently, in this case, the employer shall compulsorily provide the operator with the protection devices set forth in the
Legislative Decree 187/05 in relation to the values of the standardized daily personal exposure level A(8).

2.11 Demolition and disposal
The manufacturer estimates a life of 15.000 hours of operation under normal conditions of use.
At the end of the life cycle, the company using the machine shall see to the demolition of the machine in compliance with the
laws in force, first of all seeing to the emptying of lubricant fluids and overall cleaning of the different elements and, subsequently,
