Additional Safety Instructions For All Applications - Parkside PDFW 120 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear
protectors, protective gloves or special apron
to protect you from grindings and material
particles. The eyes should be protected from
flying debris that may be caused during certain
applications. Dust or filter masks must be used
to filter any dust created by the application. If
you are exposed to loud noise for any length
of time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance to your workspace. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the work-
piece or broken accessory tools can fly off
and cause injury – even outside the immediate
working area.
j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an opera-
tion where the accessory tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a live cable may also cause metal parts of the
appliance to become live and may result in an
electric shock.
k) Always hold the power tool firmly. When
running up to full speed, the torque of the
motor can cause the power tool to twist.
l) If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece in
position. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the power tool in the other while
you are using it. By clamping small workpieces,
you keep both hands free for better control of the
power tool. When cutting round workpieces such
as dowels, rods or pipes, be aware that these
can roll away and this can cause the tool to jam
and be thrown towards you.
m) Hold the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may get cut or caught and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.

n) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete stand-
still. The rotating accessory tool could come
into contact with the surface and cause you to
lose control of the power tool.
o) When changing accessory tools or changing
settings, tighten the collet nut, the chuck or
other fixing elements tightly. Loose fastening
elements can shift unexpectedly and lead to
loss of control; unsecured, rotating components
will fly off violently.
p) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to a physical injury.
q) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
r) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flam-
mable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
s) Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.

Kickback and corresponding safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive
band, wire brush, etc. catches or jams. Catching
or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating
accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled
power tool will turn rapidly against the direction
of rotation of the accessory tool.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the
edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the
workpiece can get caught and break off the grind-
ing disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can
then fly in the direction of the operator or away
from him, depending on the direction of rotation of
the disc at the blockage. This can also break grind-
ing discs.
A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse
of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as described below.
