Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
■ Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating accessory tool catches or jams,
■ Catching or jamming causes the rotating acces-
sory tool to stop abruptly. If this happens, an
uncontrolled compressed air tool turns rapidly
against the direction of rotation of the accesso-
ry tool caught in the blockage.
■ If, for example, a grinding disc catches or
blocks in a workpiece, the edge of the grinding
disc which is projecting into the workpiece can
get caught and break off the grinding disc or
cause a kickback. The grinding disc can then
fly in the direction of the operator or away from
him, depending on the direction of rotation of
the disc at the blockage.
This can also break grinding discs.
■ A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse
of the pneumatic tool. This can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Hold the compressed air tool firmly in both
hands and position your body and arms so they
can absorb the force of a kickback. Always use
the additional handle, if available, so that you
have the maximum control over the kickback
force or reaction forces at full speed. By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in
control of the kickback and reaction forces.
b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating
accessory tool. The accessory tool could jump
out of your hand if there is a kickback.
c) Avoid having any part of your body in the
region in which the compressed air tool is likely
to move in event of a kickback. The kickback
will force the compressed air tool in the oppo-
site direction to the direction of rotation of the
grinding disc at the blockage.
d) Take special care when working around
corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the
accessory tool to bounce back from the work-
piece or jam. The rotating accessory tool is
more likely to jam in corners or sharp edges or
if it bounces. This can cause a loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not use chains or toothed saw blades.
Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss
of control over the power tool.
Before use
Changing the cutting disc
ATTENTION!
► Disconnect the compressed air tool from the
compressed air supply before replacing the
insert tool or accessories or performing any
adjustment or maintenance. The spindle
must be at a standstill.
NOTE
► Only use original Parkside cutting discs.
♦ Counter the spindle with the supplied open-
ended spanner (see also figure A on the
fold-out page).
♦ Use the supplied hex key to remove the
clamping screw and the clamping flange .
♦ Replace the cutting disc . Mount the clamp-
ing flange again and the clamping screw
with the hex key.
♦ Check whether the cutting disc is firmly fitted
and can rotate freely.
