Hazards Due To Dust And Vapours; Noise Hazards; Hazard Due To Vibration - Parkside PDMT 6.2 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Safety information for air tools
mind that surfaces may have become slippery
during machine use, and remember tripping
hazards caused by the air- or hydraulic hose.
Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings.
There may be hidden dangers due to electrical
cables or other supply lines.
This machine for grinding and sawing is not
suitable for use in explosive environments and
is not insulated against contact with electrical
power sources. Therefore, it may not come into
contact with electrical power sources!
Verify that there are no electrical lines, gas lines,
etc. that may result in a hazard in the event of
them becoming damaged during machine use.
Hazards due to dust and
vapours
Dusts and vapours generated by the use of
machines for screw connections may result in
damage to health (e.g. cancer, birth defects,
asthma and / or dermatitis); it is imperative to
perform a risk assessment for these hazards and
implement the respective regulatory mechanisms.
The risk assessment should include dust genera-
ted by machine use and the dust already present
in the area, which is possibly being blown around.
The machine for grinding and cutting must be
operated and maintained as recommended in
these instructions to minimise the creation of
dust and vapour.
Exhaust air must be discharged in such a way
that the amount of dust being blown about in a
dusty environment is minimised.
If dust or vapours are generated, the principal
task must be to control them in the area where
they are released.
All machine mounting parts or accessories inten-
ded to collect, extract or eliminate airborne dust
or vapours should be used and maintained
according to manufacturer instructions.
Select, maintain and replace consumables /
machine tools as recommended in these instruc-
tions to prevent an unnecessary increase in the
production of dust or vapours.

Use respiratory protection equipment (if appli-
cable according to employer instructions or) as
required by environmental health regulations.

Noise hazards

With inadequate ear protection, the impact of
high noise levels may result in permanent hearing
damage, hearing loss and other problems, e.g.
tinnitus (ringing, whistling or buzzing in the ear).
It is imperative to perform a risk assessment for
these hazards and implement the suitable regu-
latory mechanisms.
Suitable regulatory mechanisms to minimise the
risk include measures such as using insulation to
prevent pinging sounds on work pieces.
Use ear protection (if applicable according to
employer instructions and) as required by labour-
and health regulations.
The machine must be operated and maintained
as recommended in these instructions to prevent
an unnecessary increase in the noise level.
Select, maintain and replace consumables and
machine tools as recommended in these instruc-
tions to prevent an unnecessary increase in the
noise level.
Ensure that if the machine is equipped with a
silencer this is always in place and functional
when the machine is operated.

Hazard due to vibration

Exposure to vibration may cause damage to
the nerves and disturb blood circulation in hands
and arms.
When working in cold environments wear warm
clothes and keep hands warm and dry.
If you notice your skin on fingers or hands be-
coming numb, tingling, hurting or becoming white,
stop working with the machine (if necessary,
notify your employer) and consult a physician.
Operate and maintain the machine for grinding
and cutting as recommended in this manual to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration.
Hold the machine firmly, but not too tightly,
maintaining the necessary hand reaction
