Proper use
CE tested machines meet all valid EC machine guidelines as
well as all relevent guidelines for each machine.
• 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 oerating the machine. Any functional
disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the
machine, sholud terefore be rectified immediately.
• The scheppach wood turner has been constructed exclu
-

• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any damages resulting from unau-
thorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the opera-
tor.

• The scheppach machine may only be used with original
accessories and tools made by the manufacturer.
Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technology in ac
cordance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining haz
