Careful Handling And Use Of The Electrical Power Tool; Service - Parkside PTS 480 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

General safety advice for electrical power tools
with caution when using an electrical
tool. Do not use the electrical power
tool if you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of carelessness when using the
electrical power tool can lead to serious injury.
b) Always wear protective equipment
and wear safety glasses. Depending on
the type of electrical tool and its application,
wearing personal protective equipment such
as ear protection, dust mask or work gloves
reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical power
tool is switched off before you connect
it to the mains, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can happen if you carry the electri-
cal tool with your finger on the ON / OFF switch
or with the device switched on.
d) Remove any setting tools or spanners
before you switch on the electrical tool.
A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating
part of an electrical tool can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. By doing this, you will
be in a better position to control the electrical
power tool in unforeseen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted, do not forget to
check that they are properly connected
and used correctly. The use of dust extrac-
tion reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4. Careful handling and use of
the electrical power tool
a) 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 safer and achieve a better result.

b) 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.
c) Pull the mains plug from the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the appliance, change accessories or
when the device is laid aside. This pre-
caution prevents the unintentional start of the
electrical tool.
d) Always ensure that electrical power
tools are kept out of reach of children
when not in use. Do not let anyone
use the device if they are not familiar
with it or have not read the instructions
and advice. Electrical power tools are dan-
gerous when they are used by inexperienced
persons.
e) Maintain the electrical power tool care-
fully. Check that moving parts are work-
ing properly and move freely. Check for
any parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the func-
tioning of the electrical power tool. Have
damaged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions. When doing
this, take the working conditions into
consideration, as well as the task at
hand. The use of electrical power tools for
purposes other than those intended can lead
to dangerous situations.
