Scheppach HMS1070 Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 30

• 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
manufacturer'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.

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 dangerous
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.
m WARNING! Hearing damage!
A longer stay in the immediate vicinity of the running
unit may cause hearing damage.
Wear ear protectors!
Despite the observance of the operating instructions
there still may be some hidden residual risks.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can impair
active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the electric tool.
