Proper use

CE tested machines meet all valid EC machine guidelines as
well as all relevent guidelines for each machine.
• The machine must only be used in technically perfect
condition in accordance with its designated use and the
instructions set out in the operating manual, and only
by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the
risks involved in oerating the machine. Any functional
disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the
machine, sholud terefore be rectified immediately.
• The scheppach wood turner has been constructed exclu-
sively for use with wood.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any damages resulting from unau-
thorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the opera-

the machine release the manufacturer from all responsi-
bility for any resulting damages.
• The scheppach machine may only be used with original
accessories and tools made by the manufacturer.
