Personal Safety - Scheppach HM216 Mode D'emploi

Personal safety

Pay attention to what you are doing and use
power tools sensibly.
Do not use power tools when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A single moment of inattention while us-
ing power tools may cause severe injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and
safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment such as
a dust mask, non­skid safety boots, a protective
helmet or hearing protection according to the
type and application of the power tool reduces
the risk of injury.
c) Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally.
Make sure that the power tool is switched
off before you connect it to the mains and/
or insert a battery, pick it up or carry it. lf you
have your finger on the switch when you carry
the power tool, or if the machine is switched on
when you connect it to the mains, this may result
in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before
switching on the power tool.
Tools or wrenches in rotating machine parts may
cause injury.
e) Avoid abnormal body positions.
Stand securely and keep your balance at all
times. By doing so, you can control the power
tool more easily in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair may be trapped in
moving parts.
g) lf dust extraction tools or collection bins can
optionally be attached, you must make sure
that they are connected and correctly used.
Using dust extraction tools may reduce risks
caused by dust.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of the tool allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.
Use and treatment of the power tool
a) Do not overload the tool.
Use the appropriate power tool for your type of
work. With appropriate power tools, you can work
better and more safely within the given power
range.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any ad-
24 GB/IE
justments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
This preventive safety measure reduces the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren.
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Carefully maintain power tools and accesso-
ries.
Check moving parts for proper function and
smooth running, and check whether there are
parts which are broken or damaged to the extent
that the functionality of the power tool is impaired.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the
power tool. Many accidents are caused by poor-
ly-maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp edges are
less likely to jam and can be guided more eas-
ily.
g) Use power tools, accessory parts, insertion
tools, etc. in compliance with these instruc-
tions.
Take into account the working conditions and the
activity which is to be carried out. Using power
tools for applications other than those intended
may cause dangerous Situations.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
Service
a) Have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists only, and always use original
spare parts for repair. This is to maintain the
safety of the power tool.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair ac-
tive or passive medical implants under certain condi-
tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
electric tool.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material
such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust
causes moving parts such as the lower guard to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
