Proper Use; Safety Instructions - Scheppach PL75 Original Bedienungsanleitung

3. Proper use

CE tested machines meet all valid EC machine
guidelines as well as all relevent guidelines for
each machine.
• The machine must only be used in technically per-
fect con dition in accordance with its designated
use and the in structions set out in the operating
manual, and only by safety-conscious persons
who are fully aware of the risks involved in operat-
ing the machine. Any functional dis orders, espe-
cially those affecting the safety of the machine,
should therefore be rectified immediately.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manu-
facturer is not responsible for any damages result-
ing from unauthorized use; risk is the sole respon-
sibility of the operator.
• The safety, work and maintenance instructions
of the manufacturer as well as the technical data
given in the calibrations and dimensions must be
adhered to.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and oth-
er, gene rally recognized safety-technical rules
must also be adhered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and
operated by persons familiar with it and instructed
in its operation and procedures. Arbitrary altera-
tions to the machine release the manufacturer from
all responsibility for any resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original ac-
cessories and tools made by the manufacturer.
• The machine may not be operated with sanding
belts.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industri-
al applications. Our warranty will be voided if the

4. Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the pow-
er tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
