Parkside PFS 710 manual Workplace-Safety, Electrical Safety, Safety of Personnel

LWorkplace-Safety

JKeep your workplace clean and tidy. Disorder and poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.

JDo not use this appliance in areas where there is a potential danger of explosions of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical hand tools produce sparks which could ignite the dust or vapours.

JWhen using electrical tools, ensure

that children and other persons are not in the close vicinity. In the event

of distraction you could lose control over the appliance.

Safety

JDamaged appliances, power cables and plugs mean potential fatal injury through electrocution.

Regularly check the condition of appliances, power cables, power plugs and, if required, chargers and power packs.

JNever take an appliance that has damaged components into operation. Immediately remove the plug from the socket.

JWarning! Never open the appliance.

JArrange for repairs and parts-exchanges to be carried out only by the service department or an electrical specialist.

LElectrical Safety

Avoid fatal risks through electrocution:

JThe connecting plug of the appliance must fit into the plug socket. Under no circumstances may the plug be altered. Do not use adapter plugs together with earthing-protected appliances. Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets reduce the risk of electrocution.

JAvoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrocution if your body is earthed.

JWarning! Protect the appliance from rain and moisture. The entry of water into an electrical appliance increases the risk of electrocution.

JDo not misuse the electrical cable, e.g. to carry the appliance, suspend it in storage or to pull the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or appliance com- ponents in motion. Damaged plugs or tangled cables increase the risk of electrocution.

JCaution! Regularly check the connections of electrical hand tools and, if damage is discovered, arrange for them to be repaired by a recognised specialist.

JWhen working outdoors, only use extension cables that are approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for employ- ment outdoors reduces the risk of electrocution.

LSafety of Personnel

JAlways be attentive and always be aware of what you are doing. Work sensibly with an electrical hand tool. Do not use the appliance if you are unconcentrated or tired or influenced by drugs, alcohol or medications. Just a simple lapse of attention in the use of an electrical hand tool is sufficient to lead to serious injuries.

JWear personal protection equipment

and always a pair of protective glasses. The wearing of personal

protection equipment, such as a dust mask, anti-slip safety shoes, protective gloves, hard hat and hearing protectors, dependant on the type of electrical hand tool and its employment, reduces the risk of injuries.

JAvoid unintentional operation of the appliance. Ensure that the switch is in the „OFF“ Position before inserting the plug into the power socket. If you have a finger on the ON / OFF switch when carrying the appliance, or plug it in when it is already switched on, this can lead to serious accidents.

JRemove the adjusting tool or screwdriver before switching the appliance on. A tool or key that is in a revolving motor component could, when thrown out, lead to potentially serious injuries.

JDo not overestimate yourself. Ensure that you are standing firmly and maintain your balance at all times. You can thus control the appliance better, especially in unexpected situations.
