Scheppach SC36 Originalbetriebsanleitung Seite 17

• Do not operate the implement if you are tired
or are lacking in concentration and after having
drunk alcohol or taken medicine. Always take a
work break in due time. Approach the work with
common sense.
• Familiarize yourself with the terrain and remain
focused on the potential hazards that you could
miss on account of the motor noise.
• Always maintain a secure footing while working,
especially on a sloping never up and down! Be
particularly 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
towards 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 oppo-
site 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
ejector 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
implement 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 de-
vices (e.g. impact protector, parts of the cutting
facility or bolts are missing, worn out or damaged.
Check especially the power cable and starting lever
for damage. 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, other
than you have been trained accordingly. All work
that has not been listed in these Instructions must
only be carried out by authorised servicing agen-
cies.
• Treat the implement with the greatest care. Always
keep the tool clean for better and safer work. Follow
the maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the implement. Always work within
the specified capacity range. Do not use low-power
machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
implement for purposes for which it is not intended.
Electrical safety:
Caution! The following states how to avoid accidents
and injuries due to electric shock:
• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of
the power and extension cables for signs of dam-
age or ageing.
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer
service agent of the same or a similarly qualified
person in order to prevent hazards.
• Keep the power cable well away from the cutting
tools. Should the power cable become damaged
during work, then instantly disconnect the power
cable from the mains.
Do not touch the power cable before it has been
disconnected from the mains.
• Keep the extension cables away from the teeth.
The teeth may damage the cables and result in
contact with live parts.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same as indi-
cated on the rating plate.
• Wherever possible connect the implement to a
power socket with a residual- current circuit break-
er that has a rated current of not more than 30 mA.
• Avoid body contact with earthed parts (e.g. metal
fences, metal posts).
