5. Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings m WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or se- rious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat- ed (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut- tered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of am- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev- er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Possible examples of non-intended or incorrect use are:

• Use of the plunge saw for purposes other than those for which it is intended;

• Failure to observe the safety instructions and main- tenance as well as the installation, operation, main- tenance and cleaning instructions contained in this operating manual;

• Failure to comply with any accident prevention, occu- pational physician or safety regulations specic and/ or generally applicable to the use of the plunge saw;

• Use of accessories and spare parts not intended for the plunge saw;

• Modications on the plunge saw;

• Repair of the plunge saw by someone other than the manufacturer or a specialist;

• Commercial, craft or industrial use of the plunge saw;

• Operation or maintenance of the plunge saw by per- sons who are not familiar with the use of the plunge saw and/or do not understand the hazards involved. An element of the intended use is also the observance of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly in- structions and operating information in the operating manual. Persons who operate and maintain the machine must be familiar with it and must be informed about potential dangers. In addition, the applicable accident prevention regula- tions must be strictly observed. Other general occupational health and safety-related rules and regulations must be observed. The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages are excluded in the event of modications of the machine. Despite use as intended, specic risk factors cannot be entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of the machine, the following risks remain:

• Touching the saw blade in the uncovered areas;

• Reaching into the running saw blade (cutting injury);

• Kick-back of workpieces and workpiece parts in the event of improper handling;

• Saw blade breakages;

• Ejection of faulty carbide parts of the saw blade;

• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro- tection is not used;

• Eye damage if the necessary safety goggles are not used;

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 o󰀨. Any power tool that can- not be controlled with the switch is dangerous 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 adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren and 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) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam- aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended 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.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in- crease the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, 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 common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or screwdriver 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) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. 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 collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ig- nore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.www.scheppach.com

• if the saw blade hooks or jams in the closing sawing gap, it is blocked and the motor power forces the device back in the direction of the operator;

• If the saw blade skews or is incorrectly aligned in the saw cut, the teeth of the rear saw blade section can hook into the surface of the workpiece. This results in the saw blade jumping out of the sawing gap and the saw jumps back in the direction of the operator. Kickback is the result of incorrect or decient use of the saw. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures, as described in the following. a) Hold the saw rmly with both hands and bring your arms into a position in which you can absorb the kickback forces. Always stand to the side of the saw blade; never bring the saw blade in line with your body. During kickback, the circular saw can jump backwards, although the operator is able to control the kickback forces if suitable measures have been implemented. b) If the saw blade jams or you interrupt your work, release the on/o󰀨 switch and hold the saw calmly in the material, until the saw blade has come to a complete standstill. Never at- tempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or draw it backwards whilst the saw blade is mov- ing, otherwise kickback can occur. Determine and remedy the cause of the saw blade jamming. c) If you wish to restart a saw that is inserted in a work- piece, centre the saw blade in the sawing gap and check that the saw teeth are not hooked in the work- piece. If the saw blade is jammed, it can move out of the workpiece or cause kickback when the saw is restarted. d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides, close to the sawing gap and at the edge. e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or incorrectly aligned teeth cause increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback due to the sawing gap being too tight. f) Before sawing, determine the cutting depth and cutting angle settings. If you change the settings during sawing, the saw blade can jam and result in kickback. g) Apply particular caution with “plunge cuts” in existing walls or other areas that are not visi- ble. The plunging saw blade can jam in concealed objects during sawing and result in kickback. Safety instructions for all saws a) m DANGER: Do not place your hands in the sawing area or on the saw blade. Hold the ad- ditional handle or the motor housing with your second hand. If both hands hold the circular saw, the saw blade cannot injure them. b) Do not reach beneath the workpiece. The protective hood cannot protect you from the saw blade beneath the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than one full tooth height should be visible beneath the workpiece. d) Never hold the workpiece that is to be sawn in the hand or over the leg. Secure the workpiece on a stable support. It is important to fasten the workpiece well, in order to minimise any risk of physical contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control. e) When performing work during which the tool attachment can meet with concealed power lines or its own mains cable, hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces. Con- tact with a live cable will also energise the metal parts of the electrical tool and will lead to an elec- tric shock. f) When performing a longitudinal cut always use a stop or a straight edge guide. This im- proves the cutting accuracy and reduces the pos- sibility of the saw blade jamming. g) Always use the right size of saw blade and an appropriate location hole (e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw blades that do not match the mount- ing hardware of the saw will run o󰀨-centre, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade clamping anges or screws. The saw blade clamping anges and screws have been specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and operational safety.

i) Wear suitable personal protective equipment:

Hearing protection, safety goggles, dust mask when working with dust and protective gloves when changing tools. Further safety instructions for all saws Causes and avoidance of kick-back by the user:

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a hooked, jammed or incorrectly aligned saw blade, which leads to an uncontrolled rebounding of the saw, whereby it moves out of the workpiece in the direction of the operator;www.scheppach.com

Additional safety instructions

• Do not use grinding discs.

• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted so that its distance from the sprocket of the saw blade does not exceed 5 mm and that the sprocket does not pro- trude more than 3 mm beyond the lower edge of the riving knife.

• Ensure the correct use of the dust collector as spec- ied in these instructions.

• Wear a dust protection mask. Always wear hearing protection.

• Only saw blades recommended in these instructions may be used.

• Switch the saw blades as specied in these instruc- tions.

• If the mains connection cable of this device is dam- aged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service department or a similarly qualied person to avoid dangers.

• Only use recommended saw blades that comply with EN 847-1.

• Only use original saw blades from the manufacturer with the marking Ø 210 x 30 mm.

• Saw blades that do not comply with the identication data specied in this user manual must not be used. Saw blades must not be braked by lateral pressure on the base body.

• Make sure that the saw blade is rmly tted and turns in the right direction.

• When performing work during which the tool attach- ment can meet with concealed power lines or its own mains cable, hold the device by the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.

• The maximum cutting depth is 75 mm Residual risks The machine has been built according to the state- of-the-art and the recognised technical safety re- quirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.

• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.

• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re- main.

• Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety in- formation” and the “Proper use” together with the operating manual as a whole are observed. Safety instructions for plunge saws a) Check that the protective hood closes correct- ly before every use. Do not use the saw if the protective hood does not move freely or does not close immediately. Never clamp or bind the protective hood; this would result in the saw blade being unprotected. If the saw should acci- dentally fall to the oor, the protective hood may be bent. Make sure the protective hood moves free- ly and does not touch the saw blade or any other parts with all cutting angles and depths. b) Check the condition and function of the spring for the protective hood. Have the device main- tained before use, if the protective hood and spring do not function properly. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or adhered chips cause the protective hood to function with a delay. c) With “plunge cuts” that are not executed at a right angle, secure the base plate of the saw against turning. Lateral movement can lead to the saw blade jamming and therefore also to kick- back. d) Do not place the saw on the workbench or the oor without the protective hood covering the saw blade. An unprotected saw blade running on moves the saw against the cutting direction and saws anything in its path. Observe the run-on time of the saw here. Additional safety instructions for all saws with riv- ing knife a) Use the riving knife suitable for the saw blade used. The riving knife must be thicker than the log thickness of the saw blade, but thinner than its tooth width. b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this op- erating manual. Incorrect thickness, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ine󰀨ective in reducing the likelihood of kick-back. c) Always use the riving knife except for plunge cuts. Fit the riving knife again after the plunge cut. The riving knife interferes with plunge cuts and can create kick-back. d) For the riving knife to work, it must be in the sawing gap. For short cuts, the riving knife is inef- fective to prevent kick-back. e) Never use the saw if the riving knife is bent. Even a slight disruption can slow the closure of the protective hood.www.scheppach.com
