Scheppach HMS1080 Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 24

• The machine is not suitable for cutting rebates.
• The anti-kick safeguard and the infeed roller must
be inspected at regular intervals.
• Machines fitted with a sawdust extractor and ex-
tractor hoods must be connected to the devices
concerned. The type of material used can have a
negative influence on the dust generated.
• The machine is designed exclusively for the cutting
of wood and similar materials.
• The knife must be replaced immediately once it be-
comes worn down by 5%.
• If a push stick is not used there may be a risk of
serious danger. The push stick should always be
kept at the machine when not used.
• There is a greater risk of danger when small work-
pieces are fed in by hand. Always observe the man-
ufacturer's instructions on the use of the push stick.
• If the safety covers, infeed table or mesh are in-
correctly aligned they could lead to uncontrollable
situations.
• Damaged or soiled workpieces may cause a risk
of danger. Never use metal parts in the machine or
any materials which can fracture or shatter. Risk
of injury!
• To cut long workpieces, always place them on a
mobile table or similar type of supporting equip-
ment. Otherwise there is a risk that you may lose
control over the workpiece.
• The machine is only suitable for planing and thick-
nessing.
• Wear suitable protective clothing when working
with the machine:
- ear protection to prevent damage to your ears,
- a breathing mask to avoid the risk of inhaling
hazardous particles of dust,
- safety gloves to avoid injuries from sharp edges
or knives,
- safety goggles to avoid eye injuries from flying
parts.
• It is imperative that the following situations are
avoided at all times: Premature interruption of the
cutting operation (planing cuts which do not com-
plete the entire length of the workpiece; planing of
uneven pieces of wood which do not lie flat on the
infeed table).
• Important! If the primary mains connection is in a
poor condition there is a risk of short-circuits when
the machine is switched on. This may also affect
other functions (e.g. the lighting up of indicator
lamps). Should there be any faults in the primary
mains connection, please contact your local elec-
tricity supplier to advice and information.

Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state of
the art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the „safety in-
structions" and the „Proper use" are observed
along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive
pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw
blade, which results in reduced output of the ma-
chine in the processing and in cut precision
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual.
In doing so, your machine provides optimal perfor-
mance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when
the machine is in operation.
• Release the handle button and switch off the ma-
chine prior to any operations..
• Danger of injury! of fingers and hands by contact
with the blade shaft at uncovered areas when
changing tools. These can also be crushed by
opening the guard.
• Eye injuries
- On the infeed and discharge opening by danger-
ous recoil
- Danger from current if the electric cables have
not been connected correctly.
- harmful wood duct may be generated if operated
without an extractor or chip bag.
- by catapulted parts
• Metal parts in the workpiece can blunt or destroy
the blades.
• Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask
is used.
