General Power Tool Safety Warnings; Work Area Safety; Electrical Safety - Parkside PGS 500 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

NOTE
► The vibration level specified in these instruc-
tions has been measured in accordance with
a standardised measuring procedure and can
be used for equipment comparisons . The
specified vibration emission value can also
be used to make an initial exposure estimate .
WARNING!
► The vibration level varies depending on the
use of the power tool and may be higher
than the value specified in these instructions
in some cases . Regular use of the power tool
in this way may cause the user to underesti-
mate the vibration . Try to keep the vibration
loads as low as possible . Measures to reduce
the vibration load are, e .g . wearing gloves
and limiting the working time . Wherein all
states of operation must be included (e .g .
times when the power tool is switched off and
times where the power tool is switched on but
running without load) .

safety warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions .
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire 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 .
PGS 500 A1

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 flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes .
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control .

2 . Electrical safety

a) The mains plug of the power tool must fit into
the socket. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified 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 elec-
tric 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 entan-
gled 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 .
