Use only as authorized

The machine corresponds to the valid EC guideline.

• The log saw is constructed as a 1-man-operating stand and is only to be used in outdoor locations.

• The log saw is a portable circular saw. It is only applicable to cross-cut firewood with a feeding rocker according to the technical specifications.

• The saw is constructed solely for cross-cutting of firewood.

• Regardless of the diameter of the wood, only 1 workpiece is to be put on the rocker.

• Observe all safety and hazard notes on the machine and ensure they are kept complete and in a legible condition.

• The machining range and surrounding areas of the machine must be clear of interfering foreign matter to prevent accidents from occurring.

• Workpieces must be completely free of foreign objects, i.e. nails or screws.

• The circular sawbench is designed exclusively for the machining of wood and materials similar to wood. Only original Scheppach tools and accessories may be used.
  Use the required sawblade in accordance with the EN 847-1 norm depending on the type of cut and type of wood (solid wood, plywood or chipboard). Please observe the „Special Tool Accessories“.

• The machine must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its designated use and the instructions set out in the operating manual, and only by safety-conscious persons  who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating the machine.
  Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine, should therefore be rectified immediately.

• Relevant accident prevention regulations and other, generally recognized safety-technical rules must also be adhered to.

• The Scheppach machine may only be used, maintained, and operated by persons familiar with it and instructed in its operation and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the machine release the manufacturer from all responsibility for any resulting damages.

• The Scheppach machine may only be used with original accessories and original tools made by the manufacturer.

• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages resulting from unauthorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the operator.Remaining hazards.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

Remaining hazards

The machine has been built using modern technology in accordance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may still exist.

• The rotating saw blade can cause injuries to fingers and hands if the workpiece is incorrectly fed.
• Thrown workpieces can lead to injury if the work piece is not properly secured or fed.
• Noise can be a health hazard. The permitted noise level is exceeded when working. Be sure to wear personal protective gear such as ear protection.
• Defective saw blades can cause injuries. Regularly inspect the structural integrity of saw blades.
• The use of incorrect or damaged main cables can lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• The operating instructions supplied with the special accessories must be observed and carefully read when Scheppach special accessories are used..
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some remaining hazards which are not yet evident may still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the instructions in “Safety Precautions“, “Proper Use“ and in the entire operating manual. Attention: risk of accident! The wood must always be seated on both sides of the saw blade on the v-block of the rocker. (see arrow; Fig. A)
