Further Safety Instructions For Abrasive Cutters - Parkside PMTS 180 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

g) Support large workpieces to reduce the risk
of the cutting disc jamming and causing a
kickback. Large workpieces can bend under
their own weight. The workpiece must be sup-
ported on both sides, namely in the vicinity of
the cut, and also at the edge.
Further safety instructions for
abrasive cutters
■ Never stand on an electrical appliance.
Serious injuries can occur if the electrical appli-
ance tips over or if you inadvertently come into
contact with the cutting disc.
■ Always use the protective cover. A protective
cover protects the user against parts of the
cutting disc which have broken off and also
against unintentional contact with the cutting
disc.
■ Ensure that the protective cover is working
properly and that it can move freely. Never
clamp the protective cover when it is in the open
position.
■
Use the appliance only for dry cutting.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■
Keep the power cable away from any rotat-
ing accessories. The power cable can be cut
through or caught up.
■ Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
and result in loss of control.
■ Never remove cutting leftovers, metal swarf
etc. from the cutting area while the power
tool is running. Always place the tool arm in
the idling position and switch the power tool off.
■ Always switch on the power tool before ap-
plying it to the workpiece. Otherwise, there
is a danger of kickback if the cutting disc be-
comes caught up in the workpiece.
■ Only use the power tool if the working surface
is free of all adjusting tools, metal swarf etc.
except for the workpiece to be processed.
Small pieces of metal or other objects which
come into contact with the rotating cutting disc
can hit the operator at high speed.
PMTS 180 A1
■ Always clamp the workpiece to be processed
firmly. Never use workpieces which are too
small to clamped firmly. The distance between
your hand and the rotating cutting disc is other-
wise too small.
■ If the cutting disc jams, switch the power tool
off and wait until the cutting disc has com-
pletely stopped turning. Never attempt to pull
a rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could
lead to a kickback. Identify and remove the
cause of the jam.
■ Do not apply lateral pressure to try and slow
the cutting disc down after switching off the
appliance. The cutting disc might be damaged,
break or cause a kickback.
■ Never ram the cutting disc into the workpiece
forcefully, and never apply too much force
when using a power tool. You should espe-
cially avoid jamming the cutting disc when
working on corners, sharp edges etc. If the
cutting disc is damaged by misuse, it can form
cracks that result in sudden breakage.
■ Wear a safety apron. Ensure that nobody
can be endangered by flying sparks. Remove
all flammable material from the vicinity.
Grinding metal creates flying sparks.
■ Only use the abrasive cutter for materials
specified in the instructions for proper use.
Otherwise, the abrasive cutter can be over-
loaded.
■ Never use any damaged, non-circular or
vibrating cutting discs. Damaged cutting discs
cause increased friction, jamming of the cutting
disc and kickback.
■ Always use cutting disks of the correct size
and with an appropriate central fixing bore
(e.g. diamond-shaped or circular). Cutting
disks which do not match the fitting parts on the
abrasive cutter will run eccentrically and cause
loss of control.
■
Do not use chains or toothed saw blades.
Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss
of control over the power tool.
