Risks Due To Vibrations; Additional Safety Instructions For Pneumatic Machines - Parkside PDWS 125 A1 Bedienungsanleitung

Risks due to vibrations

■ Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause
problems with the blood circulation in the hands
and arms.
■ When working in a cold environment, wear
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and
dry.
■ If you notice numbness, tingling or pain in your
fingers or hands or notice that the skin of your
fingers or hands has become pale, stop work-
ing with the grinding machine for abrasive me-
dia, inform your employer and consult a doctor.
■ The grinding machine for abrasive media must
be operated and maintained in accordance
with the recommendations contained in this
manual to reduce any unnecessary increase of
the vibrations.
■ Do not allow the machine tool to rattle against
the workpiece since this would very probably
result in a considerable increase in the vibra-
tions.
■ Consumables/machine tools must be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid any unnecessary increase in vibration.
■ Always use a stand, a clamp or a compensation
device to support the weight of the machine.
■ Hold the machine securely but not too firmly
while maintaining the necessary hand-reaction
force, as the vibration risk generally increases
the harder the machine is held.
■ Use intermediate layers if these are intended for
the bonded abrasive media.

■
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
–
Ensure that the air supply is switched off,
the hose is not under pressure and that the
machine is disconnected from the air supply
when not in use, and also before exchang-
ing accessories or carrying out repairs.
–
Never aim the airflow towards yourself or
any other person.
■ Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury. There-
fore, always check that the hoses and their fix-
ings are not damaged or have not come loose.
■ If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are
used, locking pins must be used to provide pro-
tection; Whipchek ®
used to provide protection in case of a failure of
the connection of the hose to the machine.
■ Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure
stated on the machine is not exceeded.
■ Never carry compressed air-powered machines
by the hose.
