General Power Tool Safety Warnings; Work Area Safety; Electrical Safety; Personal Safety - Parkside PWS 230 A1 Translation Of The Original Instructions

NOTE
► The vibration level specifi ed in these instruc-
tions has been measured in accordance
with the standardised measuring procedure
specifi ed in EN 60745 and can be used to
make equipment comparisons. The specifi ed
vibration emission value can also be used to
make an initial exposure estimate.
WARNING!
► The vibration level varies in accordance with
the use of the tool and may be higher than
the value specifi ed in these instructions in
some cases. It is easy to underestimate the
vibration load if the electrical power tool is
used regularly in this manner. For an accurate
estimate of the vibration load during a certain
working period, the times during which the
appliance is switched off or is running but not
actually being used must also be taken into
consideration. This can signifi cantly reduce
the vibration load over the total working
period.

Safety Warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl am-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
PWS 230 A1
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. 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.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off -position before connecting
