Parkside PFS 710 A - MANUAL 2, Operation And Safety Notes

26  GB/MT

b) 

 Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as 
pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators 
with any part of your body. 

There is an in-

creased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

c) 

Keep the device away from 
rain or moisture.

 Water entering 

an electrical device increases the risk

of electric shock. 

d) 

Do not use the mains lead for 
any purpose for which it was 
not intended, e.g. to carry the 

 device, to hang up the device or to pull 
the mains plug out of the mains socket. 
Keep the mains lead away from heat, 
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the 
device.

 Damaged or tangled mains leads in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

e) 

 When working outdoors with an electri-
cal power tool always use extension ca-
bles that are also approved for use out-
doors.

 The use of an extension cable suitable for 

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.  Personal safety

a) 

 remain alert at all times, watch what you 
are doing and always proceed with cau-
tion. Do not use the device if you are tired 
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or 
medication

. One moment of carelessness 

when using the device can lead to serious injury.

b) 

Wear personal protective 
equipment and always 
wear safety glasses.

 The 

 wearing of personal protective equipment such 
as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety  
helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the 
type of electrical power tool used and work  
undertaken, reduces the risk of injury.

c)   

Avoid unintentional operation of the de-
vice. Make sure that the switch is in the 
“OFF” position before you insert the 
mains plug into the mains socket.

 Acci-

dents can happen if you carry the device with your 
finger on the switch or you have already switched 
the device on before you connect it to the mains.

d)   

remove any setting tools or spanners 
before you switch the device on.

 A 

tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part 
of a device can lead to injury.

e)   

Do not overestimate your own abili-
ties. Keep proper footing and balance 
at all times

. By doing this you will be in a 

better position to control the device, especially 
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)   

If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted do not forget to 
check that they are properly connect-
ed and correctly used.

 The use of these 

devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.

4.   Careful handling and use of 

electrical power tools

a)   

Do not overload the device. Always use 
an electrical power tool that is intended 
for the task you are undertaking.

 By us-

ing the right electrical power tool for the job you 
will work more safely and achieve a better result.

b)   

Do not use an electrical power tool if 
its switch is defective.

 An electrical pow-

er tool that can no longer be switched on and 
off is dangerous and must be repaired. 

c)   

Pull the mains plug from the socket be-
fore you make any adjustments to the de-
vice, change accessories or when the de-
vice is put away.

 This precaution is intended to 

prevent you from unintentionally starting the device. 

d)   

When not in use always ensure that 
electrical power tools are kept out of 
reach of children. Do not let anyone use 
the device if he or she is not familiar 
with it or

has not read the instructions 

and advice.

 Electrical power tools are danger-

ous when they are used by inexperienced people. 

e)   

Look after the device carefully. Check that 
moving parts are working properly and
