Scheppach SC32 Originalbetriebsanleitung Seite 23

• If your equipment vibrates or emits unusual noises
when switched on, disconnect the plug from the
socket and check the cutting cylinder. Ensure that no
remains of chopped matter are blocking the cutting
cylinder or jammed between the blades. If you find
no problems, return the equipment to a customer
service centre.
• If the blades no longer cut correctly or if the motor
is overloaded, check all the parts of your equipment
and replace the worn parts. If a more extensive re-
pair is required, contact a customer service centre.
Use:
• Caution – A very sharp tool. Avoid cutting your fin-
gers or toes. While working always keep your feet and
fingers well away from the cutting cylinder and the
ejector opening. There is the danger of serious injury!
• Do not operate the implement while it is raining, in
poor weather conditions and when the surrounding
area and lawn are wet. Operate the implement only
during daylight hours or with bright lighting.
• Do not operate the implement if you are tired or are
lacking in concentration and after having drunk al-
cohol or taken medicine. Always take a work break
in due time. Approach the work with common sense.
• Familiarize yourself with the terrain and remain fo-
cused on the potential hazards that you could miss
on account of the motor noise.
• Always maintain a secure footing while working, es-
pecially on a sloping never up and down! Be particu-
larly careful when changing the travelling direction.
Do not work on very steep slopes.
• Always guide the implement at a walking pace with
both hands on the handle. Be especially careful
when you turn the implement around or draw it to-
wards you. Danger of stumbling!
• Start or actuate the starting lever with care and in
conformity with the directions in these Instructions.
• Do not tilt the implement when starting, other than it
has to be lifted. In this case tilt the implement only to
the extent that is absolutely necessary and always
lift the implement on the side that is opposite to the
operator.
• Never operate the implement without the attached
collection bag or impact protector. Danger of injury!
Always keep well away from the ejector opening.
• Do not operate the implement in the vicinity of in-
flammable liquids or gases as this could give rise to
the danger of a fire or explosion.
Work intervals:
• After the implement has been turned off, the cutting
cylinder will continue to rotate for a few seconds.
Keep hands and feet well away.
• Only remove plant parts when the implement is
standing completely still. Ensure that the grass ejec-
tor opening is clean and free.
• Switch off the power when the implement is to be
transported, lifted or tilted and when traversing other
surfaces than grass.
• Never leave the implement unattended at the place
of work.
• Always switch off the implement and disconnect the
power plug:
- Whenever you leave the implement
- Before you clean the ejector opening or unblock
or unclog the implement
- When the implement is not being used
- During all maintenance and cleaning work
- When the power cable is damaged or has be-
come tangled
- When the implement hits an obstruction during
work or when unusual vibrations arise. Establish
the cause and see if the implement has been
damaged. Do not repair it yourself! Have the im-
plement repaired by an authorised workshop!
• Store the implement in a dry place well out of reach
of children.
Caution! The following states how to avoid damage to
the implement and any resulting harm to people:
Take care of your implement
• Switch off the power when the implement is to be
carried across steps.
• Inspect the implement each time before it is to be
used. Never operate the implement if safety devices
(e.g. impact protector, parts of the cutting facility or
bolts are missing, worn out or damaged. Check es-
pecially the power cable and starting lever for dam-
age. To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts must be
exchanged as complete sets.
• Only use spare parts and accessories that have
been supplied or recommended by the manufactur-
er. The use of alien parts results in the immediate
loss of all guarantee claims. Ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screws are firmly tightened and that the
implement is in a safe working state.
• Never try to repair the implement yourself, oth-
er than you have been trained accordingly.
