General Safety Instructions - Scheppach Bg200Al Originalbetriebsanleitung

The machine complies with the applicable EC ma-
chinery directive.
• The safety, operating and maintenance specifica-
tions of the manufacturer, as well as the dimensions
specified in the technical data, must be observed.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and oth-
er generally recognized safety and technical rules
must also be observed.
• The machine may only be used, maintained or re-
paired by competent persons who are familiar with it
and have been informed of the dangers. The manu-
facturer shall not be liable for damage resulting from
unauthorised changes to the machine.
• The machine may only be operated with original ac-
cessories and original tools from the manufacturer.
• The machine may only be used in the intended
manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/
operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for
damages or injuries of any type resulting from this.
Please note that our equipment was not designed with
the intention of use for commercial or industrial purpos-
es. We assume no guarantee if the device is used in
commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent
work.
Residual risks
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot be
entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of the
machine, the following risks remain:
• Contact with the grinding disc in the uncovered area.
• Ejection of parts from damaged grinding discs.
• Ejection of workpieces and workpiece parts.
• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro-
tection is not used.
• Lung damage if suitable dust protection mask is not
worn.
• Damage to health resulting from hand/arm vibration
if the device is used over an extended period of time
or if it is not properly operated and maintained.
• Hazard due to electrical power with the use of im-
proper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety in-
structions" and the "Proper use" are observed along
with the whole of the operating instructions.

General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connection plug of the electric tool must
fit into the socket. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec-
tric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Keep your electric tools away from rain and
moisture. Water penetrating an electric device
increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
