Additional Safety Instructions For All Applications - Parkside PMNF 1500 A1 Translation Of The Original Instructions

p)­ Never use the electric tool near
flammable material. Sparks could
ignite this material.
q)­ Do not use attachment tools
which require liquid coolant.
Using water or another liquid coolant
could lead to electrical shock.

Kickback and corresponding pre-
cautions
Kickback is the sudden reaction from a
chopping or blocked grinder attachment
such as a grinding disc, grinding plate,
wire brush etc. Chopping or blocking
leads to sudden stopping of the rotating
attachment. This causes an uncontrolled
electric tool to accelerate in a direction
counter to the rotational direction of the
attachment tool. If, for example, a grind-
ing disc cuts into the workpiece or blocks
it, the edge of the grinding disc that digs
into the workpiece can get caught and,
through that, break off the grinding disc or
cause a kickback. The grinding disc then
moves towards or away from the opera-
tor, depending on the direction of rotation
of the disc at the blocked spot. Here, the
grinding discs can also break. A kickback
is caused by wrongly or incorrectly oper-
ating the electric tool. It can be avoided
by suitable cautionary measures, such as
described below.
a)­ Hold­the­electric­tool­very­firmly­and­
bring your body and your arm into a
position in which you can resist the
kickback force. Always use the supple-
mental handle if available to give you
the best control over kickback force or
reaction time during acceleration. The
operator can master the kickback and
reaction force through suitable precau-
tions.
b)­ Never­bring­your­hands­near­a­rotating­
attachment tool. The attachment tool
can run over your hand in the kick-
back.
c)­ Keep­your­body­away­from­the­area­in­
which the electric tool would move dur-
ing a kickback. The kickback drives the
electric­tool­in­the­counter-direction­to­
the rotation of the grinding disc at the
blocked spot.
d)­ Work­particularly­cautiously­in­corner­
areas or where there are sharp cor-
ners etc. Prevent the attachment tools
from recoiling from the workpiece and
jamming. The rotating attachment tool
tends to jam when near corners, sharp
edges or when it recoils from such. This
causes a loss of control or kickback.
e)­ Do­not­use­chain­or­toothed­saw­
blades. Such attachment tools frequent-
ly cause a kickback or loss of control
over the electric tool.
f)­ Avoid­blocking­the­cutting­disc­or­
pressing down too hard. Do not make
any excessively deep cuts. Overload-
ing the cutting disc increases wear and
its tendency to tilt or block and, with
that, to kickback or break the grinder.
g)­ If­the­cutting­disc­jams,­or­you­interrupt­
your work, switch the device off and
hold it until the disc has come to a full
stop. Never try to pull the cutting disc
out of the cut while it is still running,
because it can kick back. Identify and
correct the cause of the jamming.
h)­ Do­not­switch­the­electric­tool­on­again­
as long as it is in the workpiece. Al-
low­the­cutting­disc­to­first­reach­its­full­
rotational speed before you carefully
resume with the cutting. Otherwise, the
