• Later complaints cannot be considered.
• Make sure the delivery is complete.
• Before putting into operation, familiarize yourself with
the machine by carefully reading these instructions.
• Use only original Scheppach accessories, wearing or
re place ment parts. You can find replacement parts at
your scheppach dealer.
• When ordering, include our item number and the type
and year of construction of the machine.
In these operating instructions we have marked the places
that have to do with your safety with this sign: m
m general safety instructions for power tools
• WARnIng Read all warnings and instructions. Failure to
apply all warnings and instructions can lead to elec-
trical shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Keep all warnings and instructions handy for future con-
sultation.
• The term "power tool" used in the warnings refers to po-
wer tools that are connected to a source of electrical
energy (with an electrical cable)
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dimly lit workspaces can lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in areas where explosions
could take place, or in which flammable liquids, gases
or dust are present. Power tools can create sparks, which
can cause dust or fumes to ignite.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from the power
tool when it is being used. Distractions could cause you
to lose control over the equipment.
2) electrical safety
a) The terminal plug of the tool must fit into the outlet.
The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use an
adaptor plug together with grounded power tools. The
original plugs and the appropriate outlets reduce the risk
of an electrical shock.
b) Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electrical shock, if your body is grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions.
Penetration of water into the power tool increases the
risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than that
for which it was made. Do not use it to carry the tool,
hang it up, or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp corners or parts of
the equipment that move. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electrical shock.
e) When operating the power tool outdoors, only use ex-
tension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. The use
of an appropriate extension cord reduces the risk of an
electrical shock.
f) If the power tool must be used in a damp environment,
use a residual current protective device. The use of such
a device reduces the risk of electrical shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Be attentive, watch what you are doing and use the
power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medici-
nes. One moment of inattention while using a power tool
can result in serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear
protective glasses. Wearing personal protective equip-
ment, such as a dust mask, slip-free safety shoes, pro-
tective headwear or ear protection, depending on the
type and use of a power tool reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure that the po-
wer tool is shut off before it is connected to the power
supply, or is carried. If you have your finger on the switch
of the tool while carrying it, or have the tool turned on,
or connected to a power supply, this behaviour can lead
to accidents.
d) Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners before
turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is located
in a rotating part of the machine, can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that the operator
is standing firmly and can maintain balance. This allows
the operator to maintain control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from the
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can
get caught in the moving parts.
g) If dust vacuums or catching systems can be installed
on the tool, make sure that these are correctly connec-
ted and assembled. The use of a dust exhaust unit can
reduce hazards caused by dust.
4) use and treatment of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool for
the work that is to be done. With the correct power tool,
you can work better and more safely.
b) Do not use a power tool where the switch is defective.
A power tool that cannot be turned on and off is dange-
rous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before you
make adjustments to the tool, change parts or put the
tool away. This precaution prevents inadvertent start-
ups of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are not in use out of reach of
children. Do not let anyone use the tool who does not
have experience with it, or who has not read these ins-
tructions. Power tools can be dangerous when they are
used by inexperienced people.
e) Take good care of your power tools. Make sure that
movable parts function properly and do not jam, see
that parts which influence the use of the machine are
not broken or damaged. Repair damaged parts before
operating the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting edges sharp and clean. Properly maintai-
ned cutting tools with sharp cutting edges jam less often
and are easier to control.
g) Use power tools, accessories, and equipment accor-
ding to these instructions. Taking into account the wor-
king conditions and the work being performed.
