Other Risks; Legend; Unpacking; Assembly - Scheppach Structo 5.0 Translation From The Original Instruction Manual

• The Scheppach construction circular saw should
only be used with original accessories, original ex-
tension tools and original saw blades of the manu-
facturer.
• According to the currently valid regulations the use
of this machine is not allowed in closed rooms. The
machine should only be used outside or in suffi-

6. Other risks

The machine is built according to the up to date tech-

However, some remaining risks might appear dur-
ing work.
• Risk of injury to fingers and hands by the rotating
saw blade in case of incorrect usage of the work-
piece.
• Injuries because of the workpiece being slung away
due to incorrect holding or usage, such as working
without end stop.
• Risk to health because of wood dust or wood splin-
ters. Wear personal protection gear such as eye
protection and dusk mask without fail.
• Injuries caused by a defect saw blade. Check the
saw blade regularly for its integrity.
• Electricity danger, in case electrical connections
that are not according to the rules are used.
• Furthermore, despite of all precautions unapparent
remaining risk can exist.
• Remaining risks can be minimized, when the "Safe-
ty information" and the "Intended use" as well as
the operational instructions are both respected.
• Deactivate the machine and pull out the power
plugs when you want to clean the machine.
• Keep the electrical connections always oil and
grease free.
• The machine has a working area that is in front of
the machine.
• For cleaning always switch off the machine and pull
the power plug.
• Keep electric cables always free from oil and
grease.
• The operator's work place is in front of the machine.
• Wear protective gloves to avoid injuries to fingers
and hands when handling the sawblade and groov-
ing tools, feeding the work piece into the machine,
or when executing repairs.
• Do not try to remove wood chips while the saw-
blade is running and while the sawing unit has not
come to a standstill.
• Only use the machine with all the guards in place
and all the cutting tools in perfect condition.
