Remaining Hazards; Removal Of Packaging; Electrical Connections - Scheppach PL55 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

• Relevant accident prevention regulations and other,
gene rally recognized safety-technical rules must also
be adhered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and op-
erated by persons familiar with it and instructed in its
operation and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the
machine release the manufacturer from all responsi-
bility for any resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original accesso-
ries and tools made by the manufacturer.
• The machine may not be operated with sanding belts
.
m Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technolo-
gy in accor dance with recognized safety rules. Some
remaining hazards, how ever, may still exist.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some remain-
ing hazards which are not yet evident may still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the
instructions in „Safety Precautions", „Proper Use" and
in the entire operating manual.
• Do not force the machine unnecessarily: excessive
cutt ing pressure may lead to rapid deterioration of the
blade and a decrease in performance in terms of finish
and cutting precision.
• When cutting aluminium and plastics always use the
app ro priate clamps: all workpieces must be clamped
down firmly.
• Avoid accidental starts: do not press the start button
while inserting the plug into the socket.
• Always use the tools recommended in this manual
to obtain the best results from your plunge cut saw.
• Always keep hands away from the work area when
the ma chine is running; before performing tasks of
any kind release the main switch button located on the
handgrip, thus disconnecting the machine.
m Suitable use
To cut:
• Hard and soft, domestic and exotic wood both longitu-
dinally and transversally and with appropriate adjust-
ments (specific blade and clamps);
Unsuitable use
Do not cut:
• Ferrous materials, steel and cast iron or any other ma-
terial not mentioned above and in particular foodstuffs

REMOVAL OF PACKAGING

Remove the box used to protect the machine during
trans portion and keep it intact for future transportation
and storage.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Check that the electrical system to which the machine is
connected is earthed in compliance with current safety
regulations and that the current socket is in perfect con-
dition.
The electrical system must be fitted with a magnetother-
mal protective device to safeguard all conductors from
short circuits and overload.
The selection of this device should be in line with the fol-
lowing electrical specifications of the machine stated on
the motor.
NOTE: Your plunge cut saw's electrical system is
equipped with an undervoltage relay which automatically
opens the circuit when the voltage falls below a minimum
pre-est ablished limit and which prevents the self-reset of
machine functions when voltage returns to normal levels.
If the machine stops involutarily, do not be allarmed.
Make sure that there has not been a voltage failure in the
electrical system.
ADJUSTING
Caution: Prior to carrying out one of the following adjust-
ment steps, switch the machine off and unplug the mains
plug.
Cutting depth adjustment, Fig. 2
The cutting depth can be adjusted from 0 to 55 mm.
Unfasten the cutting depth adjustment screw (6) and set
the required depth using the scale (7) and retighten the
screw.
The dimentions on the rail shows the cutting depth with-
out rail.
Mitre settings, Fig. 3
The mitre square can be set from 0° to 45°.
Unfasten the mitre adjustment screws (8) on both sides,
set the desired mitre square on the scale (9) and retight-
en both screws.
Saw blade replacement, Fig. 4, 5, 6
Caution: Before you are going to make the saw blade
change, switch off the machine and unplug the pow-
er cord.
1 Press the plunge trigger (3), bring the saw blade into
the blade-change position (Adjustment screw for depth
of cut shall be adjusted to 25mm) and insert the hex
wrench into the blade locking screw (17).
2 Press on the shaft lock (13) and rotate the saw blade
(10) until the lock clicks into place.
3 Hold down the locking shaft (13) and open the blade
locking screw (17) counter clockwise, while keeping
the blade in the blade-changing position.
4 Remove the outer flange (16) and the saw blade (10).
(Caution: risk of injuries, wear protective gloves)
5 Insert the new blade and flange.
