Scheppach THM850 Originalbetriebsanleitung Seite 54

• 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 extractor 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 sim-
ilar materials.
• The knife must be replaced immediately once it becomes 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 workpieces 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 incorrectly 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 sim-
ilar type of supporting equipment. Otherwise there is a risk that you
may lose control over the workpiece.
• The machine is only suitable for planing and thicknessing.
• 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 complete the entire length of the workpiece; planing of uneven
pieces of wood which do not lie flat on the infeed table).
