Safety Advice Relating To Kickback - Parkside PFBS 9.6 A1 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

General safety advice for electrical power tools
faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate
or fly off.
e) The external diameter and the thickness
of the attachment must be compatible
with the dimensions of your electrical
power tool. Attachments that are not dimen-
sionally compatible cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
f) Grinding discs, flanges, grinding wheels
or other accessories must fit exactly on
to the spindle of your electrical power
tool. Attachments that do not exactly fit on the
spindle turn unevenly, vibrate severely and could
lead to loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged attachments.
Before every use check attachments
such as grinding discs for loose frag-
ments and cracks, grinding wheels for
cracks, deterioration or excessive wear
and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the electrical power tool or
attachment is dropped, inspect for
damage or change the attachment for
an undamaged one. When you have
inspected and inserted the attachment,
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating attach-
ment and run the device at maximum
speed for one minute. Damaged attach-
ments will usually break apart during this test.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Use a full face visor, safety goggles or
safety glasses, depending on the ap-
plication. Wear a dust mask, hearing
protectors, safety gloves or special
apron capable of stopping particles of
the grinding medium or workpiece,
as appropriate for the task. Eyes must
be protected from the flying debris which can
arise from some operations. Dust or breathing
masks must be capable of filtering out the dust
generated by the application. Prolonged expo-
sure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss.
Keep bystanders at a safe distance
i)
from your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the
workpiece or of a broken attachment could fly
38 GB
off and cause injury beyond the immediate
working area.
Hold the device by the insulated han-
j)
dle surfaces when you are undertak-
ing work where there is the danger of
the attachment striking hidden electric-
ity cables or the device's mains lead.
Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts
of the device to become live and lead to elec-
tric shock.
k) Keep the mains lead away from rotat-
ing attachments. If you lose control of the
device the mains lead may become severed or
trapped and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment.
l) Never lay the electrical power tool
down until after the attachment has
come to a complete standstill. The rotat-
ing attachment may snag when it comes into
contact with the surface and cause you to lose
control of the device.
m) Do not have the electrical power tool
running while you are carrying it. Your
clothing could become trapped by unintention-
al contact with the rotating attachment and the
tool could be pulled into your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots on your
electrical power tool regularly. The mo-
tor's fan draws dust into the housing. A build-up
of metal dust could give rise to an electrical
hazard.
o) Never use the electrical power tool near
inflammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use attachments that require the
use of coolants. The use of water or other
liquid coolants could result in electric shock.
Safety advice
relating to kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating attachment, such as a grinding disc,
grinding pad, wire brush etc. Pinching or snagging
results in the rotating attachment coming to an abrupt
stop. This causes the electrical power tool (if not
controlled) to move in the opposite direction to the
