Kickback And Related Warnings - Parkside PPFBSA 12 A1 Translation Of The Original Instructions

generated by the particular applica-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intens-
ity noise may cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe dis-
tance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting access-
ory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessories contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• Always hold the tool firmly in
your hand(s) during the start-
up. The reaction torque of the mo-
tor, as it accelerates to full speed, can
cause the tool to twist.
• Use clamps to support work-
piece whenever practical. Nev-
er hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use. Clamp-
ing a small workpiece allows you to
use your hand(s) to control the tool.
Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll
while being cut, and may cause the bit
to bind or jump toward you.
• Position the cord clear of the
spinning accessory. If you lose
control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down
until the accessory has come to
a complete stop. The spinning ac-
cessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
• After changing the bits or mak-
ing any adjustments, make sure
the collet nut, chuck or any oth-
er adjustment devices are se-
curely tightened. Loose adjustment
devices can unexpectedly shift, causing
loss of control, loose rotating compon-
ents will be violently thrown.
• Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accident-
al contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
• Regularly clean the power
tool's air vents. The motor's fan will
draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool
near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that re-
quire liquid coolants. Using wa-
ter or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related
warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel, back-
ing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out
