Personal Safety; Power Tool Use And Care - Parkside PAK 16 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

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 influence 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
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying the power
tool with your finger on the ON/OFF switch or
connecting the power tool to the mains supply
whilst it is switched on can lead to serious ac-
cidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A tool or wrench
attached to a rotating component on the power
tool can cause serious injuries.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. The
use of an extraction system can reduce hazards
caused by dust.

h) Do not allow yourself to get lulled into a false
sense of security and do not ignore the safety
regulations for power tools, even if you are
familiar with the power tool after repeated
use. Careless handling can lead to serious
injuries within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove any removable battery packs
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool.
This precaution is intended to prevent you from
unintentionally starting the appliance.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Look after power tools and accessories with
care. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. Arrange for damaged
components to be repaired before using the
power tool. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
