Proper Use; Safety Information - Scheppach MT150 Original Bedienungsanleitung

4. Proper use

The metal cutter is used to cut metals according to the
machine size.
The machine may only be used in the intended
manner.
Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not
the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or inju-
ries of any type resulting from this.
Only cutting wheels that are suitable for the machine
may be used. The use of HSS, HM, CV, etc. saw blades
of all types is prohibited.
An element of the intended use is also the observance
of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly in-
structions 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 regula-
tions must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related
rules and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages
are excluded in the event of modifications of the ma-
chine.
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 cutting wheel in the non-covered
cutting area.
• Reaching into the running cutting wheel (cutting in-
jury).
• Kick-back of workpieces and workpiece parts.
• Cutting wheel breakage.
• Ejection of damaged or faulty cutting wheels.
• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro-
tection is not used.
Please observe that our equipment was not designed
with the intention of use for commercial or industrial
purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment
is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for
equivalent work.

5. Safety information

General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this electric 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-operat-
ed (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 create
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 out-
lets 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 elec-
tric 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 power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease 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.
