Electrical Safety - Scheppach MTE370 Bedienungsanleitung

• Only remove plant parts and soil when the imple-
ment is standing completely still.
• Switch off the power when the implement is to be
transported, lifted or tilted and when traversing
other surfaces than soil.
• 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 become
tangled
- When the implement hits an obstruction during
work or when unusual vibrations arise. Establish
the cause and see if the implement has been dam-
aged.
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.

• 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).
• Only use approved extension cables of the type
H05VV-F or H05RN-F with a maximum length of
75 m and which have been approved for open-air
use. The stranded cord diameter of the extension
cable must be at least 2.5 mm
cable drum to its full length so that the entire cable
can be checked for damage.
• Use the envisaged cable suspension when attach-
ing an extension cable.
• Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug from
the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, first disconnect
the extension cable from the socket. You can then
disconnect the connecting cable of the equipment.
• 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.
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in ac-
cordance with instructions, certain residual risks
cannot be rules out. The following hazards may
arise in connection with the equipment's con-
struction and layout:
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection
1
is used.
2 Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations
if the equipment is used over a prolonged period
or is not properly guided and maintained.
3. Even when all safety measure are taken, some
remaining hazards which are not yet evident
may still be present.
4. Remaining hazards can be minimized by fol-
lowing the instructions in Safety Precautions,
Proper Use and in the entire operating manual.
