Additional Safety Instructions - Scheppach CGP1200 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of the
electrical tool. It can be prevented by suitable precau-
tionary measures, as described in the following.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for max-
imum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accesso-
ry. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where pow-
er tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will
propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the ac-
cessory. The rotating tool attachment tends to jam
at corners, sharp edges or when it bounces back.
This causes a loss of control or kick-back.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Special safety instructions for grinding:
a) Only use the grinding bodies approved for your
electric tool and the protective cover provided for
these grinding bodies. Grinding bodies that are not
intended for the electric tool cannot be adequately
shielded and are unsafe.
b) Cranked grinding discs must be mounted so that
their grinding surface does not protrude above the
plane of the protective cover edge. An improperly
mounted grinding disc that protrudes above the
level of the protective cover edge cannot be ade-
quately shielded.
c) The protective cover must be securely attached to
the electric tool and, for maximum safety, adjusted
so that the smallest possible part of the grinding
body is open and facing the operator. The protec-
tive cover helps to protect the operator from frag-
ments, accidental contact with the grinding body
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Grinding bodies may only be used for the recom-
mended applications. For example: Never grind
on the side surfaces of a cutting wheel. Cutting
wheels are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. Lateral forces on this grinding
body can break it.
28 | GB
e) Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the
correct size and shape for the grinding disc select-
ed by you. Suitable flanges support the grinding
disc and reduce the danger of the grinding disc
breaking. Flanges for cutting wheels may differ
from flanges for other grinding discs.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs from large electric
tools. Grinding discs for larger electrics tools are
not designed for the higher speeds of smaller elec-
tric tools and can break.
Additional safety instructions for sandpaper
grinding
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Sanding sheets
that protrude beyond the grinding wheel can cause
injuries as well as jamming, tearing of the sanding
sheets or kick-back.

Additional safety instructions

• Use the appropriate detection devices in order
to detect hidden supply lines or consult the lo-
cal utility company. Contact with electrical lines
can result in fire and electric shock. Damage to a
gas line can lead to an explosion. Penetrating a wa-
ter pipe causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
• Unlock the on/off switch and move it to the off
position if the power supply is interrupted, e.g.
by a power failure or unplugging the mains plug.
This prevents an uncontrolled restart.
• Only use the electric tool for dry grinding. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Only run the electric tool against the workpiece
when it is switched on and only switch it off after
you have lifted it off the workpiece. The electric
tool may move suddenly.
• Make sure that no persons are endangered by
flying sparks. Remove combustible materials
from the vicinity. When grinding metals, flying
sparks occur.
• Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged grind-
ing tools. Damaged grinding tools can tear, be
thrown away and injure someone.
• Do not use cutting or grinding discs or cup
brushes. The electric tool is not suitable for use with
these insert tools. There is a danger of injury!
