General security advice for electric riveting machines.
Please read all security advices and instructions. Failure to comply with the security advice and the instructions can lead to electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries.
Please preserve all security advice and instructions for future reference.
The term “electric riveting machine” used in the security advices refers to the line-powered MARSON BT-2 charger (with power cord)
and to the battery-powered MARSON BT-2 riveting machine (without power cord).
1. Workspace safety
a) Keep your workspace in a clean condition and provide sufficient lighting.
Messy or insufficiently illuminated work areas can lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric riveting machine in an environment with risk of explosions which contains flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Electric riveting machines create sparks which can inflame the dust or the vapors.
c) Keep away children and other persons while operating the electric riveting machine.
In case of distraction you can lose control of the machine.
2. Electric safety
a) The connector plug of the electric riveting machine has to fit into the power socket.
The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use adapter plugs together with protectively grounded electric riveting machines.
Unchanged plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of electric shocks.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces like pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators.
If your body is grounded, an increased risk of electric shock persists.
c) Do not expose electric riveting machines to rain or humidity. Water entering an electric riveting machine increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the cable to carry or hang up the electric riveting machine or to pull the plug from the socket.
Do not expose the cable to heat, oil, sharp edges and moving device parts. Damaged or entwined cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you are using the electric riveting machine outside, only use extension cords suitable for outside use.
The use of an extension cord suitable for outside use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If the use of the electric riveting device in a wet environment is unavoidable, use a fault-current circuit breaker.
The use of a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. People safety
a) Stay alert, be careful with your actions and use the electric riveting machine in a reasonable way.
Do not use the electric riveting machine if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. A momentary inattentiveness
while using the electric riveting machine can lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear protective clothing and always wear protective goggles. Wearing protective clothing like a dust mask, skid-proof safety shoes, a
protective helmet or ear protectors (depending on the conditions and aims you use the electric riveting machine for) reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid inadvertent start ups of the machine. Make sure that the electric riveting machine is turned off before you connect it to the electric
supply and/or to the battery, while picking it up or carrying it. Holding your fingers close to the power switch when carrying the electric riveting
machine or connecting it to the power supply while it is turned on may lead to injuries.
d) Remove adjusting tools and screwdrivers before switching on the electric riveting machine.
A tool or screwdriver placed into a rotating part of the device can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure you are standing firmly and always preserve your balance.
This way you can better control the electric riveting machine, should an unexpected situation occur.
f) Wear appropriate clothes. Do not wear large clothes or jewelry. Avoid putting your hair, clothes and gloves close to the moving parts
of the device. Wide clothing, long hair and jewelry can be caught up in the moving parts.
g) If the mandrel collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used correctly.
4. Operation and handling of the electric riveting machine
a) Do not overload the machine.
Use the electric riveting machine that is suitable for your work.
The suitable electric riveting machine allows you to work better and safer in the specified range of performance.
b) Do not use an electric riveting machine that has a defect power switch.
An electric riveting machine which cannot be turned on and off any more is dangerous and has to be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the power socket and/or remove the battery before making adjustments to the device, changing accessories
or putting the device away. This safety precaution prevents the inadvertent start of the electric riveting machine.
d) Store unused electric riveting machines out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons not familiar with the device or persons who
haven’t read these instructions to operate the device. Electric riveting machines are dangerous when in the hands of inexperienced persons.
e) Pay attention to the maintenance of electric riveting machines. Check if the moving parts are functioning flawlessly and do not jam.
Check for broken and damaged parts that could influence the operation of the electric riveting machine.
Repair the damaged parts before using the device. Many accidents with electric riveting machines stem from maintenance failures.
f) Use the electric riveting machine, accessories, tools etc. according to these instructions. Take into consideration the working conditions
and the type of work. The use of electric riveting machines for tasks other than the intended ones can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Use and handling of the battery tools
a) Only recharge the batteries in charging devices approved by the manufacturer.
There is a risk of fire when using a charging device designed for a specific battery type when it is used with other batteries.
b) In electric riveting machines, only use batteries that have been designed for this type of use.
Using other battery types may lead to fire and injuries.
c) When not using the battery, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metallic object which
may cause the contacts to connect. If the battery contacts short-circuit, it may lead to burns or fire.
d) Fluid may emerge from the battery if it is used incorrectly. Avoid contact with that fluid. In case of accidental contact with the body,
rinse the area with water. If the battery fluid comes in contact with the eyes, additionally call for medical help. Emerging battery fluid can
lead to burns and irritation of the skin.
6. Service
A Only allow qualified personnel repair your electric riveting machine and use only original spare parts for that.
This ensures the continuous safety of the electric riveting machine.
7. Security advice for electric riveting machines
• Hold the electric riveting machine firmly with both hands when working and keep standing steadily. The electric riveting machine
can be operated safer when using both hands.
• Immediately turn off the electric riveting machine if the electric riveting tool jams.
• Be prepared for a high reacting torque which causes strong recoil. The tool jams when the electric riveting machine is overloaded.
• Hold the electric riveting machine tightly.
• Secure the work-piece that is to be riveted. A work-piece is held more securely by a clamping device or a bench vise than by hand.
• Make sure that the power switch is turned to the “Off” position before inserting a battery. Holding your fingers close to the power switch
when carrying the electric riveting machine or inserting a battery while is “On” may lead to accidents.
• Do not open the battery, as this leads to the risk of a short-circuit. Keep the battery away from heat (e.g. permanent sun radiation)
and from fire due to risk of explosion.
• If the battery is damaged or used in an inappropriate manner, vapors may emerge from it. Get some fresh air and call for medical help
in case of complaints. The vapors can lead to irritation of the respiratory tracts.
• If the battery is defective, fluid may emerge from it and coat adjacent objects. Check the parts affected, clean them or replace them,
if necessary.
• Use the battery only with your MARSON BT-2 electric riveting machine. This is the only way to prevent dangerous overload of the battery.
