General Notes; General Safety Instructions For Power Tools - Scheppach PL55 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

Warning: Noise can have adverse health effects.
Should the noise level increase above 85 dB(A), you
must wear ear protection. Should the electrical supply
not be optimal, then the current can drop for a short time
when the machine is turned on. This can influence other
equipment (for example, the blinking of a lamp). Should
the electrical capacity have a Zmax < 0.27, such distur-
bances are not to be expected. (Should you have difficul-
ties, please consult your local dealer.)

power tools
• WARNING Read all warnings and instructions. Fail-
ure to apply all warnings and instructions can lead to
electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Keep all warnings and instructions handy for fu-
ture consultation.
• The term "power tool" used in the warnings refers
to power tools that are connected to a source of
electrical energy (with an electrical cable)
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dimly lit workspaces can lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in areas where explosions
could take place, or in which flammable liquids, gases or
dust are present. Power tools can create sparks, which
can cause dust or fumes to ignite.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from the power
tool when it is being used. Distractions could cause you
to lose control over the equipment.
2) Electrical safety
a) The terminal plug of the tool must fit into the outlet.
The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use an
adaptor plug together with grounded power tools. The
original plugs and the appropriate outlets reduce the risk
of an electrical shock.
b) Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electrical shock, if your body is grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions.
Penetration of water into the power tool increases the
risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than that
for which it was made. Do not use it to carry the tool,
hang it up, or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp corners or parts of the
equipment that move. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
e) When operating the power tool outdoors, only use
extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. The
use of an appropriate extension cord reduces the risk
of an electrical shock.
f) If the power tool must be used in a damp environment,
use a residual current protective device. The use of such
a device reduces the risk of electrical shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Be attentive, watch what you are doing and use the
power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cines. One moment of inattention while using a power
tool can result in serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear
protective glasses. Wearing personal protective equip-
ment, such as a dust mask, slip-free safety shoes, pro-
tective headwear or ear protection, depending on the
type and use of a power tool reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure that the pow-
er tool is shut off before it is connected to the power sup-
ply, or is carried. If you have your finger on the switch
of the tool while carrying it, or have the tool turned on,
or connected to a power supply, this behaviour can lead
to accidents.
d) Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners before
turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is located
in a rotating part of the machine, can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that the operator
is standing firmly and can maintain balance. This allows
the operator to maintain control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from
the moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can get caught in the moving parts.
g) If dust vacuums or catching systems can be installed
on the tool, make sure that these are correctly connected
and assembled. The use of a dust exhaust unit can re-
duce hazards caused by dust.
4) Use and treatment of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool for
the work that is to be done. With the correct power tool,
you can work better and more safely.
b) Do not use a power tool where the switch is defective.
A power tool that cannot be turned on and off is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
