WARNING

This power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain circumstances. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-ommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.

WARNING

In case of extended working periods, the operating per-sonnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud’s syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear ex-tremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is im-paired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).

If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-mediately and seek medical advice.

ATTENTION

The product is part of the 20V IXES series and may on-ly be operated with batteries of this series. Batteries may only be charged with battery chargers of this se-ries. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

– Damage to the product caused by misuse or im-proper application (such as overloading the prod-uct 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 dam-age 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 wear 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 in- tended.
– 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 unauthorised repairs have been carried out, in particular by an unauthorised third party.

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 expiry of the warranty period is excluded. The repair or replace-ment of the product does not result in an extension of the warranty period, nor does this service initiate a new warranty period for the product or for any in-stalled spare parts. This also applies when using an on-site service. The product concerned is to be cleaned and returned to the service centre together with a copy of the purchase receipt, which must in-clude the date of purchase and the product designa-tion. 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 ex-changed or in the event of a refund. Partially or com-pletely 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 organised return or, in the case of repair outside the warranty period, with sufficient postage, taking the appropriate packag-ing 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 re-funded at our own discretion, taking into account any deduction for wear and tear. These warranties are on-ly 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 char-gers and accessories are excluded from this. You can claim this warranty extension by registering your Scheppach product from this range at https://garan-tie.scheppach.com no later than 30 days from the date of purchase. After registering online successfully, you will receive confirmation for the item-related war-ranty extension.
6. In order to submit your warranty claim, please con-tact our service centre.
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 centre. Contacting our service centre 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 con-signments within 14 days of receipt at our service cen-tre. If, in exceptional cases, the processing time men-tioned is exceeded, you will be informed in good time.
8. Wear parts are generally excluded from the war-ranty! – 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 ex-tra 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 process-ing 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 ver-sion at the time of the complaint and, if necessary, can be found on our homepage (www.scheppach.com).
