Kickback And Corresponding Safety Instructions - Parkside PWS 125 F5 Originalbetriebsanleitung

j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
handles when you are carrying out work
in which the accessory tool may come into
contact with concealed power cables or the
tool's own power cord. Contact with a live ca-
ble can also make metal parts of the appliance
live, and could result in an electric shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appli-
ance, the cord may be captured or cut and your
hand or arm could get caught in the rotating
accessory tool.
l) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool being used has come to a
complete standstill. The rotating accessory tool
could come into contact with the surface and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
m) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to a physical injury.
n) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The motor fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards.
o) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of
inflammable materials. Sparks can ignite these
materials.
p) Do not use any accessory tools which require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to electric shock.
Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, grinding
plate, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or
jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating ac-
cessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled pow-
er tool turns rapidly against the direction of rotation
of the accessory tool caught in the blockage.
PWS 125 F5
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 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 given 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 kick-
back 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 kickback occurs.
c) Avoid having any part of your body in the
region in which the power tool is likely to
move in event of a kickback. 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.
e) Do not use chains or toothed saw blades.
Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss
of control over the power tool.
