2.6 Position of the operator
The BULLDOG ADV series shall be used by one single operator, who
will have to stand sideways the machine and, by grabbing the trolley
handle, will be able to make half-bullnose shapings, bevels and “jolly”
(45° mitering) cuts in safe conditions and unstressfully.
During the working phase, the operator shall always stand in the front
part and grab the trolley handles with both hands.
The material shall always be leaned against the reference strikers
and well-clamped under the pressing devices.
CUTTING DANGER.
THE MACHINE SHALL BE TURNED ON EXCLUSIVELY WHEN THE OPERATOR IS IN THE WORKING
POSITION. THE MACHINE SHALL BE TURNED OFF AT THE END OF EACH CUTTING OPERATION.
GETTING THE HANDS CLOSE TO THE GRINDING WHEEL WHILE IT IS RUNNING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
2.7 Safety devices
The BULLDOG ADV series is equipped with the following safety devices:
1 ON/OFF switch
It allows for the start and stop of the machine. In case of potential danger,
the machine shall be turned off by means of the red OFF switch.
2 Tool guard
It prevents process water and debris from coming out of the cutting area.
3 Front door
It prevents water and debris, caused by cutting, from coming out of the
machine area.

2.8 Accessories of the machine
The BULLDOG 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;
4. 80 cm (31 1/2”) trolley for sizes exceeding 12 cm (4 3/4”) of width;
5. Dressing grinding wheel and stone holder;
6. Radius10 (3/8”) diamond grinding wheel for shaping;
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

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 eld, implementing UNI EN ISO 8662-12:1999, are the following:

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 BULLDOG 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, rst of all seeing to the emptying of lubricant uids and overall cleaning of the different elements and,
subsequently, separation of the parts making up the machine.
After disassembling the machine in line with the previous disassembling procedure, the different materials shall be separated
in compliance with the laws of the country where the machine shall be eliminated. The machine does not contain harmful
components or substances requiring particular removal procedures.
DURING THE DISPOSAL PROCESS, COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS IN FORCE IN THE
COUNTRY IS REQUIRED. POLLUTANTS, SUCH AS OILS AND SOLVENTS, SHALL BE
STORED EXCLUSIVELY IN METAL DRUMS.
