Noise Hazards; Hazard Due To Vibration - Parkside PDKS 6.0 A1 Instrucciones De Utilización Y De Seguridad

perform a risk assessment in this respect and im-
plement the respective regulatory mechanisms.
The risk assessment should include dust generated
by machine use and the dust already present in
the area, which is possibly being blown around.
Operate and maintain the circulating, oscillating
and reciprocating saws as recommended in these
instructions to minimise the risk of releasing dust
and vapours.
Exhaust air must be extracted so as to minimise
dust being blown about in dusty environments.
If dust or vapours are produced, controlling these
at their point of release is a priority.
Any machine parts or accessories to collect,
extract or eliminate airborne dust or vapours
should be used and maintained according to
manufacturer instructions.
Select, maintain and replace consumables /
machine tools as recommended in the instructions
for use to prevent an unnecessary increase in
the production of dust or vapours.
Warnings regarding the risk of explosion or fire
related to the materials being worked on must
be observed.
Use respiratory protection as in-
structed and as required by occupa-
tional health and safety regulations.
Working on certain materials emits dust and
vapour, resulting in a potentially explosive envi-
ronment.

Noise hazards

With inadequate ear protection the impact of
high noise levels may result in permanent hear-
ing damage, hearing loss and other problems,
e.g. tinnitus (ringing, whistling or buzzing in the
ear). A risk assessment and implementing the
respective regulatory mechanisms for these
hazards is imperative.
Suitable regulatory mechanisms to minimise the
risk include measures such as using insulation
to prevent pinging sounds on work pieces.
Use hearing protection.

General safety rules
Operate and maintain circular, oscillating and
reciprocating saws as recommended in the in-
structions for use to prevent an unnecessary in-
crease in the noise level.
Select, maintain and replace consumables /
tools as recommended in the instructions for
use to prevent an unnecessary increase in the
noise level.
If the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saws
feature a silencer, always ensure it is installed
and functional when the machine is in use.

Hazard due to vibration

Exposure to vibration may cause damage to
the nerves and disturb blood circulation in hands
and arms.
Wear warm clothing and keep your hands warm
and dry when working in cold environments.
If you notice numbness, tingling or pain in your
fingers or hands, or the skin in your fingers or
hands turns white, stop using the circular, oscil-
lating or reciprocating saw and consult a physi-
cian.
Operate and maintain the circular, oscillating
or reciprocating saws as recommended in these
instructions for use to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration.
Select, maintain and replace the consumables /
machine tools according to these instructions to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration.
Whenever possible, use a support, clamp or
equaliser to support the weight of the machine.
Hold the machine firmly, but not too tightly,
maintaining the necessary hand reaction forces,
as the vibration hazard typically increases when
firming the grip.
Attaching the saw blade incorrectly can cause
excess vibration.
