Scheppach RT450 Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 21

• If you are working outdoors with an electric tool,
only use extension cables which are designed spe-
cifically for this purpose. Using specially designed
outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric shock
is reduced.
• If operation of the electric tool in a damp envi-
ronment can not be avoided, use a earthleakage
circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair 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 operat-
ing the electric tool.
3 Safety of persons
• Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an
electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention when us-
ing the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
• Wear personal protection equipment and always
wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection
(such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type
and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of
injury.
• Make sure that the appliance cannot start up ac-
cidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched
off before you connect it to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your
finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric
tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains
when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
• Remove keys and wrenches before switching on
the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into
contact with rotating parts of the appliance can
lead to injuries.
• Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you
stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
In this way, you can control the electric tool better
in unexpected circumstances.
• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery
or long hair can get trapped in moving parts.
• If vacuuming devices and draining devices can be
fitted, make sure that these are correctly attached
and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction
system can reduce the danger posed by dust.

4 Usage and treatment of the electric tool
• Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct
tool for your work. You will be able to work bet-
ter and more safely within the given performance
boundaries.
• Do not use an electric tool with a defective switch.
An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments to the ap-
pliance, changing accessories or put the appliance
down. This safety measure prevents starting the
electric tool unintentionally.
• Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of chil-
dren. Do not allow people who are not familiar with
the appliance or who have not read these instruc-
tions to use the appliance. Electric tools are dan-
gerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
• Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether
moving parts are functioning properly and not
jamming, whether parts are broken or damaged
enough that the functioning of this electric tool is
affected. Have damaged parts repaired before us-
ing the appliance. Many accidents are caused by
badly maintained electric tools.
• Make sure to use electric tools, accessories, at-
tachments, etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions. Take the conditions in your work area and
the job in hand into account. Using electric tools for
any purpose other than the one for which they are
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5 Service
• Have your electric tool repaired only by trained
personnel using only genuine spare parts. This
will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to
use.
