General Safety Instructions - Scheppach 3901302920 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator,
not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or
injuries of any type resulting from this.
Only suitable saw blades (HM or CV saw blades) may
be used for the machine.
The use of HSS saw blades and any type of cutting
wheels is prohibited. An element of the proper
intended use is also the observance of the safety
instructions, as well as the assembly instructions and
operating information in the operating manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the machine must
be familiar with the manual and must be informed about
potential dangers. In addition, the applicable accident
prevention regulations must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related
rules and regulations must be observed.
Attention!
When using equipment, several safety warnings must
be observed to prevent injuries and damage. For this
reason, please carefully read this operating manual /
safety instructions. Keep them in a safe place so that the
information is available at all times. If you hand the device
over to another person, please hand over this operating
manual / safety instructions as well. We accept no liability
for accidents or damage that occur due to a failure to
observe this manual and the safety instructions.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting
damages are excluded in the event of modifications
of the machine.
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot
be entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of
the machine, the following risks remain:
• Contact with the saw blade in the exposed sawing
area.
• Reaching into the running saw blade (cutting injury)
• Kick-back of workpieces and workpiece parts.
• Saw blade breakage.
• Ejection of faulty carbide parts of the saw blade.
• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing
protection is not used.
• Harmful emissions of wood dusts during use in
enclosed areas.
Please note that our equipment was not designed
with the intention of use for commercial or industrial
purposes. We assume no guarantee if the device is
used in commercial or industrial applications, or for
equivalent work.

5. General safety instructions

Attention! The following basic safety measures must
be observed when using electric tools for protection
against electric shock, and the risk of injury and
fire. Read all these notices before using the electric
tool and store the safety instructions well for later
reference.
Safe work
1. Keep the work area orderly
- Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2. Take environmental influences into account
- Do not expose electric tools to rain.
- Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet
environment.
- Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
- Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
- Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).
4. Keep away from children!
- Do not let other people touch the tool or the
cable, keep them away from your work area.
5. Securely store unused electric tools
- Unused electric tools should be stored in a dry,
elevated or closed location out of the reach of
children.
6. Do not overload your electric tool
- They work better and more safely in the specified
output range.
7. Use the correct electric tool
- Do not use low-output electric tools for heavy
work.
- Do not use the electric tool for purposes for
which it is not intended. For example, do not
use handheld circular saws for the cutting of
branches or logs.
- Do not use the electric tool to cut firewood.
8. Wear suitable clothing
- Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which can
become entangled in moving parts.
- When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is
recommended.
- Tie long hair back in a hair net.
9. Use protective equipment
- Wear protective goggles.
- Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating
work.
10. Connect the dust extraction device
- If connections for dust extraction and a collecting
device are present, make sure that they are
connected and used properly.
- Operation in enclosed areas is only permitted
with a suitable extraction system.
11. Secure the workpiece
- Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. It is thus held more securely
than with your hand and allows the machine to be
operated with both hands.
- An additional support is necessary for long
workpieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent
the machine from tipping over.
- Always press the workpiece firmly against
the working plate and stop in order to prevent
bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.
