ADVICE ON CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• The optimum ambient temperature for charging the batteries is between 4° C and max. 40° C.
• Sharpen the blades with e.g. the PARKSIDE model-making and engraving set or with a knife
sharpener.
• If a blade or the device itself becomes faulty please contact the service centre for your country.
SAFE OPERATION
1.
Check the mains voltage.
Please make sure that the available mains voltage corresponds to that
shown on the rating plate on the equipment.
2.
Switch equipment on before placing into contact with workpiece.
Always turn on the
equipment before placing it into contact with the workpiece.
3.
Keep your working area tidy.
Untidiness at your working area may lead to accidents.
4.
Take surrounding influences into consideration.
Do not subject power tools to rain. Do not
use power tools in a moist or wet environment. Ensure good lighting. Do not use power tools
close to inflammable liquids or gases.
5.
Protect yourself against an electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with earthed parts such as
tubes, radiators, stoves, refrigerators.
6.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not let others tough the tool or the cable. Keep other people
away from your working area.
7.
Store your tools in a safe place.
Tools not being used should be stored in a dry, high and closed
place, out of the reach of children.
8.
Do not overload your power tools.
Your work is safer and better if carried out within the
indicated capacity ranges.
9.
Use the correct power tool.
Do not use machines of insufficient capacity for heavy-duty work.
Do not use tools for other purposes than those for which they are intended, for example do not
use a manual circular saw for cutting tree trunks and timber.
10.
Wear appropriate workwear.
Do not wear wide clothes or jewellery since they might be caught
by mobile parts. When working in the open, rubber gloves and non-skid footwear is
recommended. Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
11.
Wear eye protection, protective mask and ear defenders.
For work which produces splinters,
swarf or dust or when working overhead always wear eye protection, with an appropriate
protective mask. When working in noisy conditions, wear ear defenders.
12.
Connect the dust suction device.
If devices for the connection of dust suction equipment and
collectors are available, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
13.
Use cable only for such purposes for which it is intended.
Never carry the power tool by the
cable. Do not use cable to disconnect the tool from the mains supply. Protect the cable against
heat, oil and sharp edges.
14.
Secure the work piece.
Use a fastening device or a vice to secure the work. This guarantees a
safer hold than with a single hand and allows you to operate the power tool with both hands.
15.
Avoid abnormal posture.
Get a firm stand and hold your balance at any time.
16.
Service your tools carefully.
Keep your tools clean and sharp to be able to perform better and
safer work. Observe the service instructions and the note regarding change of tools. Check the
cable of the tool regularly and in case of damage, ask for professional repair. Check extension
cables regularly and replace them if damaged. Keep handles dry and free of oil and grease.
17.
Disconnect the mains plug.
When power tool is not used, before maintenance and when
changing tools, such as saw blade, drill, hob.
18.
Always remove tool keys.
Before switching on device, ensure that the keys and adjustment
tools are removed.
