Safety Advice For All Uses - Parkside PWS 125 A1 Betriebsanleitung

Safety advice for all uses

General safety advice for grinding, sanding
(with sandpaper), wire brushing, polishing
and disc-cutting:
a) This electrical power tool is intended for use as
a grinding, sanding, wirebrushing, and disc-
cutting machine. Observe all the safety advice,
instructions, information in fi gures and all other
information you received with this device.
If you do not observe the following advice it could
lead to electric shock, fi re and /or serious injury.
b) Do not use any accessory not specifi cally
intended by the manufacturer for this electrical
power tool. Although an accessory may fi t on
your electrical power tool, this does not on its
own guarantee that it can be safely used.
c) The maximum permitted speed of an attach-
ment must be at least as high as the maximum
speed indicated for the electrical power tool.
An accessory rotating faster than its permitted
speed could disintegrate or fl y off .
d) The external diameter and the thickness of the
attachment must be compatible with the dimen-
sions of your electrical power tool. Attachments
that are not dimensionally compatible cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
e) Grinding discs, fl anges, grinding wheels or
other accessories must fi t exactly on to the
spindle of your electrical power tool. Attach-
ments that do not exactly fi t on the spindle turn
unevenly, vibrate severely and could lead to
loss of control.
f) Do not use damaged attachments. Before
every use check attachments such as grind-
ing discs for loose fragments and cracks,
grinding wheels for cracks, deterioration or
excessive wear and wire brushes for loose or
broken wires. If the electrical power tool or
attachment is dropped, inspect for damage
or change the attachment for an undamaged
one. When you have inspected and inserted
the attachment, position yourself and by-
standers away from the plane of the rotating
attachment and run the device at maximum
speed for one minute. Damaged attachments
will usually break apart during this test.

g) Wear personal protective equipment. Use
a full face visor, safety goggles or safety
glasses, depending on the application. Wear
a dust mask, hearing protectors, safety
gloves or special apron capable of stopping
particles of the grinding medium or work-
piece, as appropriate for the task. Eyes must
be protected from the fl ying debris which can
arise from some operations. Dust or breathing
masks must be capable of fi ltering out the dust
generated by the application. Prolonged expo-
sure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss.
h) Keep bystanders at a safe distance from your
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken at-
tachment could fl y off and cause injury beyond
the immediate working area.
i) Hold the device by the insulated handle sur-
faces when you are undertaking work where
there is the danger of the attachment striking
hidden electricity cables or the device's mains
lead. Contact with a live wire could cause
metal parts of the device to become live and
lead to electric shock.
j) Keep the power cord away from rotating
attachments. If you lose control of the device the
mains lead may become severed or trapped and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating
attachment.
k) Never lay the electrical power tool down until
after the attachment has come to a complete
standstill. The rotating attachment may snag
when it comes into contact with the surface and
cause you to lose control of the device.
l) Do not have the electrical power tool running
while you are carrying it. Your clothing could
become trapped by unintentional contact with
the rotating attachment and the tool could be
pulled into your body.
m) Clean the ventilation slots on your electrical
power tool regularly. The motor's fan draws
dust into the housing. A build-up of metal dust
could give rise to an electrical hazard.
n) Never use the electrical power tool near in-
fl ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
