Safety Information - Scheppach 5909226900 Original Bedienungsanleitung

5. Safety information

m WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and technical data provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains powered power tools (with power
cord) and cordless power tools (without power cord).
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Un-
tidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to acci-
dents.
b) Do not work with the device in potentially ex-
plosive environments in which there are in-
flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical
power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts
or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away while
you are operating the electrical tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2) Electrical safety
a) The connection plug of the electric tool must
fit into the socket. The plug may not be mod-
ified in any way. Do not use an adaptor plug
together with earthed electric tools. Unmodi-
fied plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of
an electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators with
any part of your body. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain or moisture.
Water entering an electrical device increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for
which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the de-
vice, to hang up the device or to pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains
lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts of the device. Damaged or tangled
mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an electrical
power tool always use extension cables that
are also approved for use outdoors. The use
of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device (RCD) for pro-
tection if operating the electrical power tool in
a moist environment is unavoidable. The use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are
doing and always proceed with caution. Do
not use the device if you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of carelessness when using the de-
vice can lead to serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways wear safety glasses. The wearing of per-
sonal protective equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or ear pro-
tectors, appropriate to the type of electrical power
tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk
of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the de-
vice. Check that the electrical power tool
is switched off before you connect it to the
mains, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can hap-
pen if you carry the device with your finger on the
ON / OFF switch or with the device switched on.
d) Remove any setting tools or spanners before
you switch the device on. A tool or spanner left
attached to a rotating part of a device can lead to
injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnatural po-
sition. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. By doing this you will be in a better position
to control the device in unforeseen circumstanc-
es.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves clear of moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped in
moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection de-
vices are fitted do not forget to check that
they are properly connected and correctly
used. The use of these devices reduces the haz-
ard presented by dust.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of the tool allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.
4. Careful handling and use of electrical power
tools
a) Do not overload the device. Always use an
electrical power tool that is intended for the
task you are undertaking. By using the right
electrical power tool for the job you will work more
safely and achieve a better result.
b) Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch
is defective. An electrical power tool that can no
longer be switched on and off is dangerous and
must be repaired.
