Supplementary Safety Instructions For Grinding And Abrasive Cutting - Parkside PDFW 120 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands
and position your body and arms so they
can absorb the force of a kickback. By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in
control of the kickback forces.
b) Take special care when working around
corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the
accessory tool to bounce back from the work-
piece or jam in the workpiece. The rotating
accessory tool is more likely to jam in corners or
sharp edges or if it rebounds off them. This can
cause a loss of control or kickback.
c) Do not use toothed saw blades. Such acces-
sories often cause a kickback or loss of control
over the power tool.
d) Always move the accessory tool in the same
direction in the material in which the cutting
edge leaves the material (in other words, the
same direction in which the dust is thrown
out). Guiding the power tool in the wrong direc-
tion will cause the cutting edge of the accessory
tool to jump out of the workpiece which can
lead to the accessory tool being pulled in this
direction.
e) Always fix the workpiece when using rotary
files, cutting discs, high-speed milling tools or
hard-metal tools. Even a minimal tilting in the
groove can cause these tools to jam and lead
to a kickback. When the cutting disc jams, it
usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed
milling tool or hard-metal milling tool jams, the
accessory tool can jump out of the groove and
lead to loss of control of the power tool.
Supplementary safety instructions
for grinding and abrasive cutting
Special safety instructions for grinding and
abrasive cutting:
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved
for your power tool and only for the recom-
mended applications. Example: Never grind
with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting
discs are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. Any lateral application of
force on these grinding tools can lead to break-
age.

b) Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct
size and length and without undercut on the
shoulder for conical and straight pencil grind-
ers. Using an appropriate mandrel reduces the
risk of breakages.
c) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact
pressure. Do not make any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the
stress and likelihood of tilting or blocking and
thus the possibility of a setback or a breakage
of the grinding tool.
d) Avoid putting your hand in the area in front
of or behind the rotating cutting disc. When
you move the cutting disc away from your hand,
it is possible, in the event of a kickback, that the
power tool along with the rotating disc could be
thrown out directly towards you along with the
rotating disc.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working,
switch the tool off and hold it steady until the
disc has completely stopped turning. Never
attempt to pull a rotating cutting disc out of a
cut. This could lead to kickback. Identify and
remove the cause of the jam.
f) Do not switch the power tool back on as long
as it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc
to reach its full speed before you carefully
continue the cut. Otherwise, the disc may jam,
jump out of the workpiece or cause kickback.
g) Support panels or large workpieces to re-
duce the risk of the cutting disc jamming and
causing a kickback. Large workpieces can
bend under their own weight. The workpiece
must be supported on both sides, namely in the
vicinity of the cut, and also at the edge.
h) Be particularly careful when making "pocket
cuts" into existing walls or other obscured ar-
eas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects
that can cause kickback.
