Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat- ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) The connection plug of the electric tool must fit in- to the socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig- erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car- rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex- tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec- tric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is un- avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo- ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. GB | 17www.scheppach.comb) Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin- ger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys be- fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust ex- traction can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re- paired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of start- ing the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow- er tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un- trained users. e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition that may af- fect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. Take into account the work- ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those in- tended could result in a hazardous situation. 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 tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Only charge the batteries with battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A battery char- ger that is suitable for a particular type of battery pos- es a fire hazard when used with other batteries. b) Only use the batteries in power tools that are de- signed for them. The use of other batteries can lead to injuries and a risk of fire. c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal ob- jects that could cause a short-circuit between the contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts of the battery could result in burns or fires. d) Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrect- ly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental con- tact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns. e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Dam- aged or modified batteries can behave unpredictably and cause fire, explosion or injury. f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive tem- peratures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion. g) Follow all charging instructions and never charge the battery or rechargeable tool outside the tem- perature range specified in the operating manual. Incorrect charging or charging outside the approved temperature range can destroy the battery and in- crease the risk of fire.

a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main- tained. b) Never attempt to service damaged batteries. Any type of battery maintenance shall be carried out only by the manufacturer or an authorised customer ser- vice centre. Additional safety instructions

A warranty claim is therefore not valid if the product has been used in commercial, trade or industrial operations within the warranty period or has been subjected to equivalent stress.

3. The following are excluded from our warranty ser-

vices: – Damage to the product which was caused by non- observance of the assembly instructions, improper installation, non-observance of the operating in- structions (e.g. connection to an incorrect mains voltage or type of current) or the maintenance and safety regulations or use of the product in unsuit- able environmental conditions as well as by insuffi- cient care and maintenance. – Damage to the product caused by misuse or im- proper application (such as overloading the prod- uct or using non-approved tools and accessories), penetration of foreign bodies into the product (such as sand, stones or dust), transport damage, use of force or external influences (such as dam- age caused if dropped). – Damage to the product or parts of the product which is due to intentional, normal (operational) or other natural wear as well as damage and/or wearing of wear parts. – Defects in the product which have been caused by the use of accessories, expansions or spare parts that are not original parts or are not used as in- tended. – Products on which changes or modifications have been made. – Minor deviations from the target characteristics which are irrelevant for the value and usability of the product. – Products on which unauthorised repairs have been carried out, in particular by an unauthorised third party. – If the marking on the product or the identification information of the product (machine label) is miss- ing or illegible. – Products that are very dirty and are therefore re- fused by the service personnel. – Claims for damages and consequential damages are generally excluded from this warranty.

4. The warranty period is usually 5 years (12 months

for batteries/rechargeable batteries) and starts from the date of purchase of the product. The date on the original purchase receipt is decisive. Warranty claims must be made immediately after becoming aware of them. The assertion of warranty claims after expiry of the warranty period is excluded. The repair or replace- ment of the product does not result in an extension of the warranty period, nor does this service initiate a new warranty period for the product or for any in- stalled spare parts. This also applies when using an on-site service. A prerequisite for a claim under the warranty is that the manufacturer, as the guarantor, is enabled to examine the warranty claim by sending in the goods at the manufacturer's request. Care must be taken to avoid damage during transport by using appropriate packaging. The product concerned is to be cleaned and returned to the service centre together with a copy of the purchase receipt, which must in- clude the date of purchase and the product designa- tion. If a product is sent in incomplete without the complete scope of delivery, the missing accessories will be charged / deducted in value if the product is ex- changed or in the event of a refund. Partially or com- pletely dismantled products cannot be accepted as a warranty claim. In the event of an unjustified complaint or if outside the warranty period, the purchaser shall generally bear the transport costs and the transport risk. Please report a warranty claim in advance to the service centre (see below). It is generally agreed upon that the defective product will be returned to the service address given below with a brief description of the fault by organised return or, in the case of repair outside the warranty period, with sufficient postage, taking the appropriate packaging and shipping guide- lines into account. Please note that your product (depending on the model) will be free of all operat- ing materials when returned for safety reasons. The product sent to our service centre must be pack- aged in such a way that damage to the product under complaint is avoided during transport. After successful repair / replacement, we will send the product back to you free of charge. If products cannot be repaired or replaced, a sum up to the purchase price of the defec- tive product may be refunded at our own discretion, taking into account any deduction for wear and tear. These warranties are only for the benefit of the origi- nal private purchaser and cannot be assigned or transferred. 24 | GB www.scheppach.com5.

consignments within 14 days of receipt at our service centre. If, in exceptional cases, the processing time mentioned is exceeded, you will be informed in good time.

8. Wear parts are generally excluded from the war-

ranty! - Wear parts are: a) supplied, attached and/or installed batteries / rechargeable batteries as well as b) all model-dependent wear parts (i.e. belts, saw blades, tool attachments, grinding discs, filters, carbon brushes etc., see operating manual). The warranty does not cover batteries or rechargeable batteries that are deeply discharged or those with damaged housing or battery terminals.

9. Cost estimate - Products that are not covered or no

longer covered by the warranty will be repaired at ex- tra cost. Upon request to our service centre, you can send in the defective products for a cost estimate and, if necessary, give the service centre approval for the repair in writing (by post, e-mail). No further process- ing will take place without approval for the repair. The warranty conditions only apply in the current ver- sion at the time of the complaint and, if necessary, can be found on our homepage (www.scheppach.com).
