Careful Handling And Use Of Electrical Power Tools; Safety Advice Relating Specifically To This Device - Parkside PWS 230 - MANUEL 3 Operation And Safety Notes

There is the danger of fire when working with
electrical devices that have a dust bag or can
be connected to a vacuum dust extraction de-
vice. Under certain conditions the wood dust in
the dust extraction bag (or in the vacuum's filter
bag) can self-ignite, e.g. as a result of flying
sparks generated when machining metals or
metal objects left in wood. This can happen
particularly if the wood dust is mixed with paint
residue or other chemicals and the waste parti-
cles are hot from prolonged machining. There-
fore you must empty the dust collection bag or
filter bag of the vacuum extraction device before
pausing or stopping work and always avoid
overheating the waste particles or the device.

Do not allow other people to touch the electrical
power tool or the extension lead.
Careful handling and use
Q
of electrical power tools
J
Do not overload the device. Always use an
electrical power tool that is intended for the
task you are undertaking. By using the right
electrical power tool for the job you will work
more safely and achieve a better result.
J
Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch
is defective. An electrical power tool that can
no longer be switched on and off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
J
Pull the mains plug from the socket before you
make any adjustments to the device, change
accessories or when the device is put away.
This precaution is intended to prevent you from
unintentionally starting the device.
J
When not in use always ensure that electrical
power tools are kept out of reach of children.
Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is
not familiar with it or has not read the instructions
and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous
when they are used by inexperienced people.
J
Look after the device carefully. Check that
moving parts are working properly and move
freely. Check for any parts that are broken or
damaged enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have damaged parts
repaired before you use the device. Many
accidents have their origins in poorly maintained
electrical power tools.
J
Use the electrical power tool, accessories,
inserted tools etc. in accordance with these
instructions and advice, and the stipulations
drawn up for this particular type of device. In
doing this, take into account the working
conditions and the task in hand. The use of
electrical power tools for purposes other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Safety advice relating
specifically to this device
J
Before you insert the mains plug into the socket,
ensure that the device is switched off.
J
If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device (RCD) with
a maximum trip current of 30 mA.
J
If using an extension lead, always use one that
is approved for outdoor use.
J
Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much
safer than holding it in your hand.
J
Never hold the device itself in a vice.
J
Never support yourself by placing your hands
near or in front of the device or the workpiece
surface. A slip can result in injury.
J
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains
plug immediately out of the mains socket.
m Warning! Danger of injury! Unlock the
ON / OFF switch immediately if a power failure
occurs or the plug is pulled out of the mains
socket. Place the switch in the OFF position.
This is intended to prevent the device restarting
inadvertently and the possible resulting injury.
J
Do not operate the device if the mains lead or
mains plug is damaged.
J
Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes dam-
aged or cut through while you are using the
device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket im-
mediately and have the device repaired by a
suitably qualified person or at your service centre.
J
Do not operate the device if it is damp and do
not use it in a damp environment.
