Safety instructions

WARNING

• Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
• Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
• c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• a) The connection plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Safety instructions for all applications

Special safety instructions for grinding and cut-off grinding

• a) This power tool is to be used as a grinder and cutoff grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• b) Operations such as sandpaper grinding, wire brushing or polishing are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
• c) Do not use any accessories that have not been specifically provided or recommended by the manufacturer for this power tool. Just because you can attach the accessories to your power tool does not guarantee they are safe to use.
• d) The maximum speed of the accessory tool used must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified for the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster than the maximum permissible rate can break and throw pieces into the air.
• e) The external diameter and thickness of the accessory tool used must comply with the dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned accessory tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
• f) Attachment tools with a thread insert must match the thread of the grinding spindle exactly. For attachment tools that are mounted using a flange, the diameter of the hole on the attachment tool must correspond to the width of the fitting on the flange. Accessory tools that cannot be firmly fitted to the power tool rotate unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of control.
• g) Never use damaged accessory tools. Before each use, check tools such as grinding discs for chipping and cracks, and grinding wheels for cracks, wear or heavy wear. If the power tool or the accessory tool in use is dropped, check to see if it is damaged or use an undamaged accessory tool. Once you have checked and used the tool attachment, ensure that you and all other persons in the vicinity remain outside the plane of the rotating tool attachment and allow the device to run for 1 min. at the maximum speed. Damaged accessories usually break during the test period.
• h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or a special apron that will keep small grinding and material particles away from you. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. Dust or breathing masks must filter the dust generated during use. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
• i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe distance from your workspace. Anyone who enters the workspace must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or broken accessory tools can fly off and cause injury – even outside the immediate working area.
• j) Hold the power tool by the insulated handles when you are carrying out work in which the accessory tool may come into contact with concealed power cables. Contact with a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.
• k) Keep the power cord away from any rotating accessories. If you lose control of the device, the mains cable can be severed or caught and your hand or arm pulled into the rotating insert tool.
• l) Never put the power tool down until the accessory tool being used has come to a complete standstill. The rotating accessory tool can come into contact with the surface and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
• m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact of your clothing with the rotating attachment part could lead to an injury.
• n) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the housing and a strong accumulation of metal dust can cause electrical hazards. o) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of inflammable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
• p) Do not use any accessory tools that require liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid coolants may lead to an electric shock.

Kick-back and corresponding safety instructions

Kickback is the sudden reaction resulting from a caught or jammed rotating insert tool, such as a grinding disc, grinding wheel, etc. Catching or jamming results in the rotating insert tool stopping abruptly. As a result, an uncontrolled electric tool is accelerated against the direction of rotation of the tool attachment at the blocking point.

For example, if a grinding disc catches or jams in the workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc that plunges into the workpiece can get caught, causing the grinding disc to break away or kick back. The grinding disc may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on the direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions  Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of the
power tool. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures, as described in the following.

• a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position your body and arms so they can absorb the force of a kickback. Always use the additional handle, if available, so that you have the maximum possible control over the kickback force or reaction forces at full speed. By taking adequate precautions, the operator can stay in control of the kickback and reaction forces.
• b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating accessory tool. The accessory tool could jump out of your hand if there is a kickback.
• c) Avoid having any part of your body in the region in which the power tool is likely to move in event of a kickback. The kickback will force the power tool in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the grinding disc at the blockage.
• d) Take special care when working near corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory tool to bounce back from the workpiece or jam. The rotating tool attachment tends to jam at corners, sharp edges or when it bounces back. This causes a loss of control or kickback.
• e) Do not use chains or toothed saw blades. Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss of control over the power tool.

Special safety instructions for grinding and cut-off 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 adequately 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 protective cover helps to protect the operator from fragments, accidental contact with the grinding body and sparks that could ignite clothing.
• d) Grinding bodies may only be used for the recommended 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.
• e) Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the correct size and shape for the grinding disc selected 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 power tools. Grinding discs for larger power tools are not designed for the higher speeds of smaller power tools and can break.

Further special safety instructions for cut-off grinding

• a) Avoid blocking the cutting wheel or applying too much pressure. Do not make excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel increases its stress and susceptibility to tilting or blocking and therefore the possibility of kick-back or breaking of the grinding wheel.
• b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting wheel. If you move the cutting wheel in the workpiece away from you, in the event of a kick-back the power tool with the spinning wheel can be thrown directly towards you.
• c) If the cutting wheel jams or you interrupt your work, switch the device off and hold it still in the material until the disc has come to a standstill. Never try to pull the cutting wheel out of the cut while it is still running, otherwise kick-back may occur. Determine and remedy the cause of the jamming.
• d) Do not switch the electric tool on again while it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting wheel to reach its full speed first before carefully continuing the cut. Otherwise, the disc can get stuck, jump out of the workpiece or cause kick-back.
• e) Support plates or large workpieces to reduce the risk of kick-back caused by a jammed cutting wheel. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides of the disc, which is both close to the cutting wheel and at the edge.
• f) Apply particular caution with “plunge cuts” in existing walls or other areas that are not visible. The plunging cutting wheel can cause kick-back when cutting into gas or water pipes, electrical lines or other objects.

Working instructions

Note:
Grinding bodies may only be used for the recommended applications. Otherwise, it could break, be damaged or cause injuries.

ALWAYS replace the grinding wheel if the product has been dropped during work.

A grinding or cutting wheel must NEVER be knocked or banged against the workpiece.
Especially when working on corners, sharp edges, etc., make sure that the grinding wheel does not jump or get stuck. This could cause loss of control and setbacks. NEVER use the tool with wood cutting or other saw blades. Such saw blades, when used on a grinder, cause frequent kickbacks and loss of control, which can lead to injury

Rough grinding

WARNING

Never use cutting wheels for roughing!

• Move the angle grinder back and forth across the workpiece with moderate pressure.
• With soft materials, guide the roughing disc at a flat angle across the workpiece, with hard materials use a somewhat steep angle.

Cut-off grinding

WARNING
Never use roughing wheels for cutting!

• Only use approved fiber-reinforced cutting or grinding discs that are approved for a circumferential speed of no less than 80 m/s.

CAUTION

The grinding tool continues to run after it has been switched off. Do not try to slow it down by pushing against it laterally.

• Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices/bench vice to hold the workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held more securely than with your hand.
• Always switch the product off before placing it down and wait until the product has come to a standstill.
• Only use the product for dry cutting or dry grinding.
• The additional handle must be mounted to the product for all work.
• Do not machine material containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

This is the right way to behave:

DANGER

Always guide the product through the workpiece in the counter direction! In the opposing direction, there is a risk of kickback.
The product can be pushed out of the cut.

• Always guide the product against the workpiece when switched on. After machining, lift the product from the workpiece and only then switch it off.
• Always hold the product tight with both hands during work. Make sure that you have a secure footing.
• For the best grinding effect, move the product evenly back and forth on the workpiece at an angle of 15° to 30° (between the grinding disc and the workpiece).
• When machining inclined surfaces, the product must not be pushed onto the workpiece with great force. If the speed drops significantly, the contact pressure must be reduced to make safe, effective working possible. If the product is suddenly completely braked or blocked, the product must be switched off immediately.
• Cutting: Work with moderate feed and do not tilt the cutting wheel.

Troubleshooting

Warranty conditions – Scheppach 20V IXES series

Revision date 11/07/2023

Dear customer,

our products are subject to strict quality checks. However, if a product does not function perfectly, we deeply regret this and ask that you contact our customer service at the address specified below. We will also be glad to assist you by telephone via the service number. The following information is intended to help you to process and settle your claim without any problems.

For the assertion of warranty claims, the following applies:

1. The warranty conditions govern our additional manufacturer warranty services for purchasers (private end consumers) of new products. The statutory warranty claims are not affected by this warranty. This is the responsibility of the dealer who you purchased the product from.

2. The warranty service extends exclusively to defects in a new product purchased by you that are based on a material or manufacturing fault and is, at our discretion, limited to the repair of such defects free of charge or the replacement of the product (also replacement with a successor model, if necessary). Replaced products or parts shall become our property. Please note that our products were not designed for commercial, trade or professional use. A warranty claim is therefore not valid if the product has been used in commercial, trade or industrial operations within the warranty period or has been subjected to equivalent stress.

3. The following are excluded from our warranty services:

   • Damage to the product that was caused by nonobservance of the assembly instructions, improper installation, non-observance of the operating instructions (e.g. connection to an incorrect mains voltage or type of current) or the maintenance and safety regulations or use of the product in unsuitable environmental conditions as well as by insufficient care and maintenance.
   • Damage to the product caused by misuse or improper application (such as overloading the product or using non-approved tools and accessories), penetration of foreign bodies into the product (such as sand, stones or dust), transport damage, use of force or external influences (such as damage caused if dropped).
   • Damage to the product or parts of the product which is due to intentional, normal (operational) or other natural wear as well as damage and/or wearing of worn parts.
   • Defects in the product which have been caused by the use of accessories, expansions or spare parts that are not original parts or are not used as intended.
   • Products on which changes or modifications have been made.
   • Minor deviations from the target characteristics which are irrelevant for the value and usability of the product.
   • Products on which unauthorized repairs have been carried out, in particular by an unauthorized third party.
   • If the marking on the product or the identification information of the product (machine label) is missing or illegible.
   • Products that are very dirty and are therefore refused by the service personnel.
   • Claims for damages and consequential damages are generally excluded from this warranty.

4. The warranty period is usually 5 years (12 months for batteries/rechargeable batteries) and starts from the date of purchase of the product. The date on the original purchase receipt is decisive. Warranty claims must be made immediately after becoming aware of them. The assertion of warranty claims after the expiry of  the warranty period is excluded. The repair or replacement of the product does not result in an extension ofthe warranty period, nor does this service initiate a  new warranty period for the product or for any installed spare parts. This also applies when using an on-site service. The product concerned is to be cleaned and returned to the service center together with a copy of the purchase receipt, which must include the date of purchase and the product designation. If a product is sent in incomplete without the complete scope of delivery, the missing accessories will be charged/deducted in value if the product is exchanged or in the event of a refund. Partially or completely dismantled products cannot be accepted as a warranty claim. In the event of an unjustified complaint or if outside the warranty period, the purchaser shall generally bear the transport costs and the transport risk. Please report a warranty claim in advance to the service centre (see below). It is generally agreed upon that the defective product will be returned to the service address given below with a brief description of the fault by organized return or, in the case of repair outside the warranty period, with sufficient postage, taking the appropriate packaging and shipping guidelines into account. Please note that your product (depending on the model) will be free of all operating materials when returned for safety reasons. The product sent to our service centre must be packaged in such a way that damage to the product under complaint is avoided during transport. After successful repair/replacement, we will send the product back to you free of charge. If products cannot be repaired or replaced, a sum up to the purchase price of the defective product may be refunded at our own discretion, taking into account any deduction for wear and tear.
   These warranties are only for the benefit of the original private purchaser and cannot be assigned or transferred.

5. Extension of the warranty period to 10 years: Scheppach offers an additional warranty extension of

   • 5 years on products of the Scheppach 20V series. Thus, the warranty period for these products totals 10 years. Batteries / rechargeable batteries, battery chargers and accessories are excluded from this. You can claim this warranty extension by registering your Scheppach product from this range at https://garantie.scheppach.com no later than 30 days from the date of purchase. After registering online successfully, you will receive confirmation for the item-related warranty extension.

6. In order to submit your warranty claim, please contact our service center.
   Preferably, please use our form on our homepage:
   https://www.scheppach.com/de/service

   • Please do not send us any products without first contacting and registering with our service center. Contacting our service center first is mandatory to claim these warranty promises. Warranty claims must be made before expiry of the warranty period within 14 days of discovery of the defect. For this purpose, the original purchase receipt and, if necessary, confirmation of the item-related warranty extension are required.

7. Processing time – We normally process complaint consignments within 14 days of receipt at our service centre. If, in exceptional cases, the processing time mentioned is exceeded, you will be informed in good time.

8. Wear parts are generally excluded from the warranty! – Wear parts are: a) supplied, attached and/or installed batteries / rechargeable batteries as well as b) all model-dependent wear parts (i.e. belts, saw blades, tool attachments, grinding discs, filters, carbon brushes etc., see operating manual). The warranty does not cover batteries or rechargeable batteries that are deeply discharged or those with damaged housing or battery terminals.

9. Cost estimate – Products that are not covered or no longer covered by the warranty will be repaired at extra cost. Upon request to our service centre, you can send in the defective products for a cost estimate and, if necessary, give the service centre approval for the repair in writing (by post, e-mail). No further processing will take place without approval for the repair.

10. Claims other than those mentioned above cannot be asserted.

The warranty conditions only apply in the current version at the time of the complaint and, if necessary, can be found on our homepage (www.scheppach.com).

In case of translations, the German version is decisive.
