Hazards Caused By Repetitive Movements; Hazards Caused By Accessories; Hazards In The Workplace; Hazards Caused By Dust And Vapours - Parkside PDBS 1800 A1 Original Instructions Manual

■ The permissible speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the compressed-air tool . Ac-
cessories which rotate faster than the maximum
permissible rate can break and throw pieces
into the air .
■ Wear a safety helmet for overhead work .
■ The tool will run on after the compressed-air
tool has been switched off .
■ Ensure that no hazard is caused by sparks cre-
ated during use . Explosive or flammable dusts
can be generated when processing certain
materials . There is a risk of explosion or fire .
Hazards caused by repetitive move-
ments
■ Users of an automatic screwdriver may experi-
ence unpleasant sensations in their hands, arms,
shoulders, neck area or other body parts while
working with the tools .

change posture to avoid discomfort and fatigue .
■ If the operator notices symptoms such as
persistent discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling,
burning or stiffness, these warning indications
should not be ignored . The operator should
consult a qualified medical doctor .

Hazards caused by accessories

■ Disconnect the machine from the energy supply
before changing the machine tool or accessory .
■ Do not touch fittings or accessories during
the striking process because this can increase
the risk of cuts, burns or injuries caused by
vibrations .
■ Avoid direct contact with the accessory tool
during and after use because it may be hot or

■ Use only accessories and supplies of the sizes
and types recommended by the manufacturer
of machines for screw connections; do not
use any other types or sizes of accessories or
consumable materials .
■ Use only impact fittings that are in good work-
ing order because any defects in the handles
and accessories can cause these to break and
be ejected when used with impact wrenches .
■ The permissible speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the compressed-air tool . Ac-
cessories which rotate faster than the maximum
permissible rate can break and throw pieces
into the air .

Hazards in the workplace

■ Slipping, tripping up and falling are the main
causes of injuries in the workplace . Pay atten-
tion to surfaces that may have become slippery
from the use of the machine and also be aware
of tripping hazards caused by air or hydraulic
hoses .
■ Proceed with caution in unknown surroundings .
Hidden hazards caused by power or other
supply lines may be present .
■ This compressed-air tool is not suitable for use
in explosive atmospheres and is not insulated
against contact with power sources .
■ Ensure that there are no electric mains, gas
pipes, etc . that might result in a hazard if dam-
aged by using the machine .
■ Make sure (e .g . by using a metal detector) that
there are no hidden power, water or gas lines in
the location where you are working .

Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dusts and vapours produced by using the
machines for screw connections can be hazard-
ous to health (e .g . cause cancer, birth defects,
asthma and/or dermatitis); it is essential to
carry out a risk assessment in respect of these
risks and to implement corresponding regulato-
ry mechanisms .
■ The risk assessment should include the dust
caused by using the machine and any existing
dust that may be raised at the same time .
