Scheppach DP16VLS Instruction Manual page 24

• Inspect the cable regularly and have a dam-
aged cable repaired only by an authorised cus-
tomer service centre. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables. This will ensure that the power tool
remains safe.
• Store unused power tools in a safe place. The
storage place should be dry and lockable. This
prevents the power tool from being damaged as a
result of being stored or operated by inexperienced
people.
• Never leave the tool before it has come to a
complete standstill. Afterrunning bits can cause
injury.
• Do not use the power tool with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the mains plug if the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
Attention: Laser radiation
Do not stare into the beam
Class 2 laser
Protect yourself and you environment from acci-
dents using suitable precautionary measures!
• Do not look directly into the laser beam with unpro-
tected eyes.
• Never look into the path of the beam.
• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting sur-
faces and persons or animals. Even a laser beam
with a low output can cause damage to the eyes.
• Caution - methods other than those specified here
can result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• Never open the laser module. Unexpected expo-
sure to the beam can occur.
• If the machine is not used for an extended period of
time, the batteries should be removed.
• The laser may not be replaced with a different type
of laser.
• Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or an authorised representative.

Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the
state of the art and the recognised technical
safety requirements. However, individual residu-
al 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-
structions" and the „Proper use" are observed
along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-
ating 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 tool provides optimal performance.
