Electrical Safety; Residual Risks - Scheppach MTE370 Originalbetriebsanleitung

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 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 manufacturer. The
use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of
all guarantee claims. Ensure that all nuts, bolts and
screws are fi rmly 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 car-
ried out by authorised servicing agencies.
• 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
M F D E / A T / C H D E / A T / C H M F
the specifi ed 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 damage 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 qualifi ed per-
son 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 indicated
on the rating plate.
• Wherever possible connect the implement to a power
socket with a residual- current circuit breaker 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 . Always unreel a cable drum to its full length so that
2
the entire cable can be checked for damage.
• Use the envisaged cable suspension when attaching
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, fi rst 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 qualifi ed per-
son in order to prevent hazards.

Residual risks

Even if you use this electric power tool in accord-
ance with instructions, certain residual risks can-
not be rules out. The following hazards may arise
in connection with the equipment's construction
and layout:
1 Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection
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 re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
4. Remaining hazards can be minimized by following
the instructions in Safety Precautions, Proper Use
and in the entire operating manual.
5. Injuries caused by the rotating blade.
6. Health risks caused by electricity. When incorrect or
damaged mains cables are used. Follows instruc-
tions in the manual Electrical Connections.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic fi eld during operation. This fi eld can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we
recommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the electric tool.
