Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
• Be aware that wire bristles are
thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not over-
stress the wires by applying ex-
cessive load to the brush. The
wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
• If the use of a guard is recom-
mended for wire brushing, do
not allow any interference of
the wire wheel or brush with the
guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work
load and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety instructions
• Never keep the fingers between
the grinding disc and spark pro-
tection or in close proximity to the
guard covers. There is a risk of
crushing.
• The rotating parts of the device
cannot be covered due to func-
tional reasons. Therefore, proceed
cautiously and secure the work-
piece in order to avoid slipping
which could cause your hands to
come into contact with the grinding
disc.
• The workpiece becomes hot dur-
ing grinding. Do not touch the ma-
chined area, allow it to cool down.
There is a risk of burns. Do not use
coolants or the like.
• Do not work with the device if you
are tired or have consumed alcohol
or tablets. Always have a break on

• Switch off the device and remove
the battery. Make sure that all
moving parts have come to a com-
plete stop:
• to loosen a blocked insertion
tool
• in case of unusual sounds
• before checking the device,
cleaning it or performing main-
tenance work on it
• Only use accessories recom-
mended by PARKSIDE. Unsuit-
able accessories may cause elec-
tric shock or fire.
