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

WARNING!
■ The vibration level specified in these instruc-
tions has been measured in accordance
with the standardised measuring procedure
specified in EN 60745 and can be used for
equipment comparisons. The specified vibra-
tion emission value can also be used to make
an initial exposure estimate. The vibration
level varies in accordance with the use of the
power tool and may be higher than the value
specified in these instructions in some cases.
There is a risk of underestimation of the vibra-
tion load if the power tool is used regularly in
this manner.
NOTE
► For an accurate estimate of the vibration load
during a specific working period, the periods
during which the appliance is switched off or
is running but not actually being used must
also be taken into consideration. This can
significantly reduce the vibration load over
the total working period.

Safety Warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions 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
PTS 500 B2

1. Work area safety

a) Keep your 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
flammable 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) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
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 entangled
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.
