Supplementary Safety Instructions For Grinding And Abrasive Cutting - Parkside PFBS 12 C7 Original Instructions Manual

e) Always clamp 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 a 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.

Special safety instructions for grinding and abrasive cutting
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved for your power tool and only for
the recommended applications. Example: Never grind with the side surface of a
cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove material with the edge of the disc.
Any lateral application of force on these grinding tools can lead to breakage.
b) For conical and straight pencil grinders, use only undamaged mandrels of the
correct size and length and without an undercut on the shoulder. Using an appro-
priate mandrel reduces the risk of breakages.
c) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact pressure. Do not make any excessively
deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the stress and likelihood of tilting or
jamming and thus the possibility of kickback or breakage of the grinding tool.
d) Avoid putting your hand in the area in front of or behind the rotating cutting disc.
When you move the cutting disc away from your hand, it is possible, in the event of a
kickback, that the power tool (along with the rotating disc) could be thrown out directly
towards you.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working, switch the tool off and hold it steady
until the disc has completely stopped turning. Never attempt to pull a rotating
cutting disc out of a cut. This could lead to kickback. Identify and remove the cause of
the jam.
f) Do not switch the power tool back on while it is still in the workpiece. Allow the
cutting disc to reach its full speed before you carefully resume the cut. Otherwise,
the disc may jam, jump out of the workpiece or cause kickback.
g) Support panels or large workpieces to reduce the risk of the cutting disc jamming
and causing a kickback. Large workpieces can bend under their own weight. The
workpiece must be supported on both sides, namely in the vicinity of the cut, and also
at the edge.
h) Be particularly careful when making "pocket cuts" into existing walls or other
obscured areas. The inserted cutting disc may cut into gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or other objects that can cause kickback.
