General Power Tool Safety Warnings; Work Area Safety; Electrical Safety - Parkside PFS 400 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

WARNING!
► The vibration level specified in these instruc-
tions has been measured in accordance with
the standardised measuring procedure speci-
fied in EN 60745 and can be used to make
equipment comparisons. The vibration level
varies depending on the use of the power
tool and may be higher than the value speci-
fied in these instructions in some cases.
Regular use of the power tool in such a way
may cause the user to underestimate the
vibration.
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.
► 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).
General power tool
safety warnings
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. 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-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.

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
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 electric 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.
