Hazards In The Workplace; Risks Due To Dust And Vapours; Risks Due To Noise - Parkside PDEXS 150 C2 Instrucciones De Uso

■ Only machine tools which were designed by
the manufacturer for sanding machines with
sanding sheets and polishers may be used
for sanding machines for sanding sheets and
polishers.
■ Cutting discs and machines for cutting may not
be used.
■ Check whether the maximum operational speed
of the machine tool (buffs, sanding sheets, fibre
discs etc.) is higher than the rated speed of the
machine;
■ Self-adhesive sanding discs must be applied
concentrically on the mounting plate.

Hazards in the workplace

■ Slipping, tripping up and falling are the main
causes of injuries at the workplace. Take note
of surfaces which could have become slippery
through use of the machine, and also any trip-
ping hazards caused by air or hydraulic hoses.
■ These sanding machines for sanding sheets or
polishers are not intended for use in explosion-
capable atmospheres and is not insulated
against contact with electrical power sources.
■ Ensure that no electrical service lines, gas pipes,
etc. that could cause a hazard if damaged by
use of the machine are present.

Risks due to dust and vapours

■ The dust and vapours produced by using the
sanding machine for abrasive media and pol-
ishing can be hazardous to health (e.g. cause
cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermati-
tis); it is essential to carry out a risk assessment
in respect of these risks and to implement cor-
responding regulatory mechanisms.
■ The risk assessment should include all dust
caused by the use of the machine and any exist-
ing dust that may be whirled up at the same time.
■ The sanding machine for sanding sheets or
polisher is to be operated and maintained in ac-
cordance with the recommendations contained
in this manual to keep the release of dust and
vapours to a minimum.
■ The exhaust air should be routed so that the
raising of dust in already dusty environments is
kept to a minimum.

If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority
must be to control these at the site of their release.
All inserts or accessories of the machine intended
for collecting, extracting or suppressing airborne
dust or vapours or should be used and serviced in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Consumables/machine tools should be se-
lected, maintained and replaced in accordance
with the recommendations in this guide in order
to avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or
vapour production.
Use breathing equipment as per the instructions
provided by your employer or as required by
health and safety regulations.
Exposure to high noise levels can result in per-
manent hearing damage, loss of hearing and
other problems such as tinnitus (ringing, rushing,
whistling or buzzing in the ear) if sufficient hear-
ing protection is not worn. It is essential that a
risk assessment with regard to these hazards
is carried out and that appropriate regulating
mechanisms are implemented.
Suitable regulatory mechanisms include the use
of insulation materials to avoid pinging occurring
on the workpieces and similar measures.
Use ear protection equipment as per the instruc-
tions provided by your employer or as required
by health and safety regulations.
The sanding machine for sanding sheets or
polisher is to be operated and maintained in ac-
cordance with the recommendations contained
in this manual to reduce any unnecessary in-
crease of the noise levels.
Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary increase of the noise levels.
If the sanding machine for sanding sheets or
the polisher is equipped with a silencer, always
ensure that this in its place and is operational
while the machine is in operation.
