Parkside PTS 500 C3 Operation And Safety Notes page 7

Do not abuse the cord. Never use
4.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool
5.
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a
6.
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
1.
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
2.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
3.
Ensure the switch is in the off
-position before connecting to
power source and / or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or
4.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
5.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
6.
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the
7.
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use
1.
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the
2.
switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the
3.
power source and / or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the
4.
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
5.
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
6.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories
7.
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by
1.
a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
