Personal Safety; Handling And Using The Power Tool - Parkside PBH 1050 A1 Instrucciones De Utilización Y De Seguridad

General safety advice on power tools
for outdoor use. Using an extension cable
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) Use an earth leakage circuit breaker
if operating the power tool in a moist
environment cannot be avoided. Using
an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the
risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution when using power tools.
Do not use power tools when tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of carelessness
whilst using the power tool can result in serious
injury.
b) Always wear protective equipment
and safety glasses. Wearing personal
protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protec-
tors, depending on the type and application
of the power tool, reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Verify the
power tool is switched off before con-
necting it to the mains, picking it up or
carrying it. Carrying the power tool with
your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with the
device switched on can result in accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or span-
ners before switching on the power
tool. Leaving a tool or spanner attached to a
rotating part of a device can lead to injury.
e) Avoid unnatural postures. Always
maintain proper footing and balance.
This will ensure having better control over the
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) When using vacuum dust extraction
and collection devices remember to
verify these are properly connected
36 GB/MT
and used. Using of such devices reduces the
hazard presented by dust.
4. Handling and using
the power tool
a) Do not overload the device. Always
use a power tool intended for the task.
By using the right power tool for the job you will
work more safely and achieve a better result.
b) Do not use a power tool with a defec-
tive switch. Power tools that can no longer
be switched on and off are dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Unplug from the mains before chang-
ing device settings or accessories, or
setting the device down. This precaution
will prevent the power tool from starting acci-
dentally.
d) Always be sure to keep power tools
out of reach of children when not in
use. Do not let anyone use the device
if he or she is not familiar with it or
has not read the instructions and ad-
vice. Power tools are dangerous when used
by inexperienced individuals.
e) Maintain the power tool with care.
Check that moving parts are working
properly and move freely. Check for
any parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
function of the power tool. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before using the
unit. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and easier
to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, insert-
ed tools etc. according to these instruc-
tions. When doing so consider the
working conditions and the application.
Using power tools for purposes other than those
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
