Hazards Caused By Accessories; Hazards In The Workplace; Hazards Caused By Dust And Vapours - Parkside PDAP 75 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

■ If the operator notices symptoms such as persis-
tent or recurring illness, discomfort, throbbing,
pain, tingling, burning or stiffness, these indica-
tions should not be ignored.
In this case, the operator should consult a suit-
ably qualified physician.

Hazards caused by accessories

■ Disconnect the sander or the polisher from the
power before changing the tools or accessories.
■ Avoid direct contact with the machine tool during
and after use, since this can have heated up or
have become sharp.
■ Use only tools for sanders and polishers which
have been approved by the manufacturer of the
sander and polisher.
■ Cutting discs and machines for cutting may not
be used.
■ Check whether the maximum operating speed
of the tool (stitched buffs, abrasive belts, fibre
discs, etc.) is higher than that of the machine;
■ Self-adhesive grinding discs must be applied
concentrically on the mounting plate.

Hazards in the workplace

■
Slipping, tripping up and falling are the main
causes of injuries in the workplace. Take note
of surfaces which could have become slippery
through use of the machine, and also any trip-
ping hazards caused by air or hydraulic hoses.
■ These sanders and polishers are not suitable for
use in explosive environments and are not insu-
lated against contact with power sources.
PDAP 75 A1
■ Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of
electric mains, gas pipelines etc. which could
pose a hazard if damaged by the machine.

Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dust and vapours produced by using sand-
ers and polishers can be hazardous to health
(e.g. cause cancer, birth defects, asthma and/
or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out a risk
assessment in respect of these risks and to im-
plement corresponding regulatory mechanisms.
■ The risk assessment should include all dust
caused by the use of the machine and the ex-
isting dust that may be kicked up at the same
time.
■ The sander or polisher is to be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual to keep the
release of dust and vapours to a minimum.
■ The exhaust air should be routed so that the
raising of dust in already dusty environments is
kept to a minimum.
■ If dusts or vapours are created, the main prior-
ity must be to control these at the site of their
release.
■ All inserts or accessories of the machine in-
tended for collecting, extracting or suppressing
airborne dust or vapours or should be used and
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
■ Consumables/machine tools should be se-
lected, maintained and replaced in accordance
with the recommendations in this guide in order
to avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or
vapour production.
■ Use a dust mask as per the instructions provided
by your employer or as required by health and
safety regulations.
