Work Particularly Cautiously In Corner Areas Or Where There Are; Special Safety Instructions For Grinding And Cutting - Parkside PWSA 18 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

such as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool very
firmly and bring your body and your
arm into a position in which you can
resist the kickback force. Always use
the supplemental handle if available to
give you the best control over kickback
force or reaction time during accel-
eration. The operator can master the
kickback and reaction force through
suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a
rotating attachment tool. The at-
tachment tool can run over your hand
in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the
area in which the electric tool
would move during a kickback.
The kickback drives the electric tool in
the counter-direction to the rotation of
the grinding disc at the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in
corner areas or where there are
sharp corners etc. Prevent the at-
tachment tools from recoiling from the
workpiece and jamming. The rotating
attachment tool tends to jam when near
corners, sharp edges or when it recoils
from such. This causes a loss of control
or kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed
saw blades. Such attachment tools
frequently cause a kickback or loss of
control over the electric tool.
Special safety instructions for
grinding and cutting
a) Use only grinders which have
been approved for your electric
tool and the protective hood in-
tended for these grinders. Grind-
ers which are not intended for the elec-
tric tool may not be sufficiently shielded
and are unsafe.
b) Depressed centre grinding
wheels must be pre-mounted in
such a way that their grinding
surface does not protrude over
the level of the edge of the pro-
tective cover. An incorrectly mounted
grinding wheel which protrudes beyond
the level of the edge of the protective
cover cannot be adequately shielded.
c) The protective hood must be
securely attached to the elec-
tric tool and adjusted so that
the greatest level of safety is
reached, i.e., the smallest possible
amount of the grinder is exposed to the
operator. The protective hood should
protect the operator from broken bits
and accidental contact with the grinder.
d) Grinders may only be used for
the recommended attachment
options. For example: Never grind
with the side surface of a cutting disc.
Cutting discs are for cutting material
using the edge of the disc. Pushing
sideways on these grinders can break
them.
e) Always use undamaged clamp-
ing flanges of the correct size
and shape for the grinding disc
you selected. Suitable flanges sup-
port the grinding disc and thus reduce
the danger of the grinding disc break-
ing. Flanges for cutting discs can be
distinguished from flanges for other
grinding discs.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs
for larger electric tools. Grinding
discs for larger electric tools are not
set up for the higher rotation speeds of
