Personal Safety - Scheppach HL1500M Originalanleitung

There is an increased risk of getting an electric
shock if you are electrically grounded.
• Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet con-
ditions. Penetration of water into an electric tool in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away
from sources of heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
tool parts. Damaged or tangled cable increases the
risk of an electric shock.
• If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure
that you only use extension cable that is approved
for outdoor applications. Using extension cable that
is approved for outdoor applications reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
• Connect the electric tool to the mains power sup-
ply (230V~, 50Hz) via a socket-outlet with earthing
contact with maximum 16A protection. We recom-
mend that you fit a residual-current protection de-
vice with a maximum nominal tripping current of 30
mA. Seek the advice of your electrician.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

• Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appro-
priate caution when using the electric tool. Do not
use the tool if you are tired or are under the influ-
ence of drugs/medication or alcohol. One moment
of carelessness or lack of attention when using the
electric tool can cause serious bodily injury!
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE),
including safety goggles. Wearing personal pro-
tective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip
footwear, protective headgear and ear muffs (de-
pending upon the type of electric tool and the par-
ticular application) reduces the risk of sustaining
injury.
» Wear ear-muffs. The impact of noise can cause
damage to hearing.
» Wear a breathing mask. Dust which is injurious to
health can be generated when working on wood
and other materials. Never use the device to work
on any materials containing asbestos!
» Wear safety goggles. Sparks generated during
working or splinters, chips and dust emitted by the
device can cause loss of sight.
• Avoid unintentional startups. Ensure that the switch
is in the "OFF" position before you insert the plug
into the socket outlet.
• Physically touching the switch with your finger
when carrying the tool or connecting the tool to the
power supply switched on can lead to accidents.
• Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to switch-
ing on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is posi-
tioned inside a rotating power tool part can cause
injury.
• Do not overestimate your abilities. Make sure you
stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
This way, you will be able to have better control
over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fitting
clothes or jewelry.

Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, dangling jewelry and long
hair can be caught by moving parts.
4. CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF ELECTRIC
TOOLS
• Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable electric
tools to perform your work. Using the right electric
tool allows you to work better and safer within the
toolʼs quoted capacity range.
• Do not use an electric tool whose switch is defec-
tive. An electric tool that no longer can be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Always pull the plug out of the socket outlet before
making any adjustments. Exchange accessory
parts or put away the tool. This precaution elimi-
nates the possibility of inadvertently starting the
tool.
• When not in use, store electric tools out of the reach
of children. Do not allow those persons to use this
tool who are unfamiliar with it or who have not read
these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous
when they are used by inexperienced persons.
• Take good care of your tool. Check that moving
parts properly function and do not jam, that parts
are not broken off or damaged in any way and
that the tool can be used to its full capacity. Have
damaged parts repaired prior to using the tool.The
cause of many accidents can be traced back to
poorly maintained electric tools.
• Use electric tools and plug-in tools, etc. in compli-
ance with these instructions and in the manner that
is prescribed for the model at hand. In so doing, pay
due attention to working conditions and the job to
be performed. Using electric tools for applications
other than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
• If the power cable of the electric tool is damaged, it
must be replaced by a specially prepared connec-
tion lead which can be obtained from the customer
service center.
5. SERVICE

using original replacement parts. This will ensure that
