Risks Due To Repetitive Movements; Hazards Caused By Accessories - Parkside PDWS 125 A1 Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones Original

■ Grinding discs and abrasive cutting discs may
not be used for side grinding (exception: grind-
ing discs for side grinding). Grinding machines
for abrasive media may only be operated at a
rotation speed which is less than the abrasive
media maximum speed;
■ ensure that no persons are standing in the im-
mediate vicinity.
■ Personal safety equipment such as suitable
gloves, aprons and protective helmets must be
worn.
■ Sparks caused by grinding can ignite clothing
and cause serious burns. You must ensure that
sparks do not impact clothing. Wear fire-retard-
ant clothing and ensure that there is a bucket of
water in the vicinity.

Risks due to repetitive movements

■ When using a grinding machine for abrasive
media to perform work-related activities, opera-
tors may experience uncomfortable sensations
in their hands and arms, as well as in the neck
and shoulders or other parts of the body.
■ When using a grinding machine for abrasive
media, the operator should adopt a comfort-
able posture whilst ensuring a secure hold
and avoiding awkward postures or positions
in which it is difficult to maintain balance. The
operator should change positions during the
course of long-lasting tasks. This can be helpful
in the prevention of discomfort and fatigue.
■ If the operator notices symptoms such as persis-
tent or recurring illness, discomfort, throbbing,
pain, tingling, burning or stiffness, these indica-
tions should not be ignored. In this case, the
operator should inform his/her employer and
consult a suitably qualified physician.

Hazards caused by accessories

■ Disconnect the grinding machine for abrasive
media from the power supply before fitting or
replacing the machine tools or accessories.
■ Use only accessories and supplies of the sizes
and types recommended by the manufacturer
of the grinding machine for abrasive media.
Never use any other types or sizes of accessory
parts and consumables.

■ Ensure that the dimensions of the abrasive me-
dia are compatible with those of the grinding
machine for abrasive media and that the abra-
sive media fits onto the spindle.
■ Ensure that the thread type and size of the
abrasive media exactly matches the thread type
and size of the spindle thread.
■ Always inspect the abrasive media before use.
Do not use any abrasive media which may
have been dropped or which shows signs of
splintering, cracking or other flaws.
■ Always ensure that the abrasive media has
been properly fixed and tightened firmly
enough before use; the grinding machine for
abrasive media must be operated at idling
speed for at least 1 minute in a safe location;
switch off the machine immediately if you notice
excessive vibration or any other damage; the
cause of these malfunctions must be determined.
■ Ensure that the spindle end does not contact the
bottom of the openings in cut wheels, grinding
cones or whetstones with thread inserts which
are intended for the attachment of machine
spindles, by checking the dimensions and other
important spindle data.
■ In the case of abrasive media which are sup-
plied with reducers or reducing bushings, or
which are intended for use with reducers or
reducing bushings, the operator must ensure
that the reducer or reducing bushing does not
contact the face of the clamping flange and that
the clamping force provides sufficient rotational
drive to prevent slipping of the abrasive media.
■ In cases in which clamping flanges for different
types and sizes of abrasive media have been
provided, always fit the correct clamping flange
for the abrasive media being used.
■ Avoid direct contact before and after use of the
machine tool since it can be hot or have sharp
edges.
■ The abrasive media must be handled and stored
in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
