Additional Safety Instructions For All Applications - Parkside PFBS 160 B2 Originalbetriebsanleitung

q) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
r) Do not use the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
s) Do not use any attachment parts that require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.

Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a ro-
tating attachment part, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive
band, wire brush, etc. catches or jams. Catching
or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating
attachment part. If this happens, an uncontrolled
power tool will turn rapidly against the direction of
rotation of the attachment part.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams,
the edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into
the workpiece can get caught and break off the
grinding disc or cause a kickback. The grinding
disc can then fly in the direction of the operator or
away from him, depending on the direction of rota-
tion of the disc at the blockage. This can also break
grinding discs.
A kickback is caused by improper or incorrect use
of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms, so that they
can absorb the kickback forces. By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in
control of the kickback forces.
b) Take special care when working around
corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing
the attachment part to bounce back from the
workpiece or jam in the workpiece. The rotat-
ing accessory tool is more likely to jam in cor-
ners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off them.
This can cause a loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not use toothed saw blades. Such acces-
sories often cause a kickback or loss of control
over the power tool.
d) Always move the attachment part in the
material in the same direction as the direction
in which the cutting edge leaves the material
(in other words, the same direction in which
the chips are thrown out). Guiding the power
tool in the wrong direction will cause the cutting
edge of the accessory tool to jump out of the
workpiece which can lead to the accessory tool
being pulled in this direction.
e) Always fix the workpiece when using rotary
files, cutting discs, high-speed milling tools or
hard-metal tools. Even a minimal tilting in the
groove can cause these tools to jam and lead
to a kickback. When the cutting disc jams, it
usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed
milling tool or hard-metal milling tool jams, the
accessory tool can jump out of the groove and
lead to loss of control of the power tool.
