Further Safety Instructions For Abrasive Cutting Applications - Parkside PTS 20-Li A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

m) Keep the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may get cut or caught and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.
n) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete stand-
still. The rotating accessory tool could come
into contact with the surface and cause you to
lose control of the power tool.
o) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
cause your clothing to get caught and the ac-
cessory tool to penetrate a part of your body.
p) 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.
q) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such
materials.
r) Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.

Kickback and corresponding safety instruc-
tions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating grinding disc catches or jams. Catching or
jamming causes the rotating accessory tool to stop
abruptly. If this happens, an uncontrolled power
tool turns rapidly against the direction of rotation
of the accessory tool caught in the blockage.

■ 30
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 them, depending on the direction of rotation
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 described below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands
and position your body and arms so they can
absorb the force of a kickback. Always use
the auxiliary handle, if available, so that you
have the maximum possible control over the
kickback force or reaction forces at full speed.
By taking adequate precautions, the operator
can stay in control of the kickback and reaction
forces.
b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating
accessory tool. The accessory tool could jump
out of your hand if there is a kickback.
c) Avoid the area in front of and behind the
rotating cutting disc. The kickback will force
the electrical tool in the opposite direction to the
direction of rotation of the grinding disc at the
blockage.
d) Take special care when working near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Do not allow the accessory
tool to bounce back from the workpiece or
jam. The rotating accessory tool is more likely to
jam in corners or sharp edges or if it bounces.
This can cause a loss of control or kickback.
