Additional Safety Instructions For All Applications - Parkside PFBS 160 B2 Manual De Instrucciones

o) When changing accessory tools or changing
settings, tighten the collet nut, the chuck or
other fixing elements tightly. Loose fixing ele-
ments can shift unexpectedly and lead to loss of
control; unfixed, rotating components will fly off
violently.
p) 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.
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 in the vicinity of
flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such
materials.
s) 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 accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive
band, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching
or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating
accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled
power tool will turn rapidly against the direction
of rotation of the accessory tool.
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.
PFBS 160 B2
A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse
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. 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
accessory tool to bounce back from the work-
piece or jam in the workpiece. The rotating
accessory tool is more likely to jam in corners 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 accessory tool in the same
direction in the material in which the cutting
edge leaves the material (in other words, the
same direction in which the dust is thrown
out). Guiding the power tool in the wrong direc-
tion 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.
