Commissioning; Assembly - Scheppach HM80L Translation Of Original Instruction Manual

• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive
pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw
blade, which results in reduced output of the ma-
chine in the processing and in cut precision.
• When cutting plastic material, please always use
clamps: the parts which should be cut must always
be fixed between the clamps.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the op-
erating button may not be pressed when inserting
the plug in an outlet.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual.
In doing so, your mitre saw provides optimal per-
formance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when
the machine is in operation.
• Release the handle button and switch off the ma-
chine prior to any operations.

8. Commissioning

Prior to commissioning, observe the safety in-
structions in the operating instructions.
REMOVAL FROM THE PACKAGING
Remove the machine from its package, which pro-
tects it during transport, without damaging the pack-
age in order to be able to use it later for transporting
the mitre saw for long-term storage.
MOVING
Since the mitre saw is relatively small and light, its
location can be easily changed, even by a single per-
son. After locking the locking knob (26 - Fig. 4) in the
bottom position, lift the mitre saw by the handle (34
- Fig. 4).
TRANSPORT
If the machine must be transported, carry it by the
handle (34 - Fig. 4) and place it in the original pack-
aging in which it was supplied. In the process, make
sure that it is correctly positioned in the package (see
arrows on the package).
If possible, the load should be fixed with ropes or
securing belts in order to prevent shifting during the
transport or parts of the load from falling down.
POSITIONING/WORK STATION
Position the machine on a work bench or on a flat
base so that the machine is supported as stably as
possible. Make sure that the machine is always se-
cured to a workbench or table if possible. Secure the
machine through the holes on the base (7) of the ma-
chine by using 4 screws on a workbench, an under-
carriage o. eg.
When working with the machine, ergonomic factors
must be considered; the ideal height of the work table
or the base is reached when the base surface or the
upper work surface is 90 to 95 cm above the ground.

The positioning of the machine must provide for at
least 80 cm of clearance in all directions and in or-
der to allow for cleaning and repair work as well as
necessary adjustments in observance of safety con-
ditions and with sufficient room to manoeuvre.
CAUTION: Position the machine in a zone which is
suitable in respect to the environmental conditions
and lighting. Never forget that the general environ-
mental conditions play an extremely important role in
accident prevention.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure that the socket is in a good condition. We
would like to remind you that the power supply must
be connected to a magnetic-thermal circuit breaker
which protects all lines from short-circuits and over-
loading.

9. Assembly

WARNING! For you own safety, only insert the
mains plug in an outlet when all assembly steps
have been completed and you have read and un-
derstood the safety and operating instructions.
Lift the saw out of the packaging and place it on your
work bench. (Positioning of the saw on the work
bench - see the next page under „POSITIONING /
WORK STATION")
Installation of the dust bag
• Squeeze together the metal ring on the dust bag
(12) and attach it to the outlet opening in the motor
area.
Emptying the dust bag
• By pressing the metal ring wings of the dust bag
(12) together the dust bag can be disengaged from
the outlet opening.
• Open the zipper of the dust bag and shake the
contents into a dustbin.
• Close the zipper and install the dust bag on the
machine again as described.
Assembling the work piece clamping device
(Fig. 1.1)
• Loosen the locking screw (17) and attach the work
piece clamping device (10) to the left or right of the
fixed saw bench.
• Afterwards, retighten the locking screws (17).
Assembling the work piece supports
(Fig. 1.1 – 1.2)
• Loosen the cross-head screw (14) and guide the
work piece support through the specified hole on
the side of the fixed saw bench.
