1.3 Working with safety in mind
"Make your contribution to safety in the workplace."
•Report any deviations from normal operation to the person responsible
immediately.
•Always keep safety in mind while working.
•When working with the SCORP, wear mask, protective goggles, safety
gloves and ear muffs.
•Tie up long hair (hair-net); do not wear wide clothing.
Attention: Jewellery, loose fitting clothing and ties can be caught in
rotating parts!
•Turn the SCORP off at the end of each operating cycle and allow the
machine to run to a stop.
•Keep hands away from the tools during processing.
•Before carrying out a tool change, cleaning, performing any maintenance
work, adjustments or repair work on the SCORP, pull out the mains plug
and allow the machine to run to a stop.
•Do not carry the electric tool holding it at the cable and do not use it to pull
the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
edges (chips).
•Pay attention to the surroundings. Do not use any electric tools in a damp
or wet area. Make sure to have good illumination. Do not work near
combustible liquids or gases.
•The power-on time is max. 25%. With higher power-on time the machine
can be overloaded.
Danger of death by electric shock!
If the mains cable is damaged, live parts may cause death when being touched
directly.
:Keep the mains cable of the cutter motor away from the saw blade or
cutting blade.
XWhile processing the pipe, always keep an eye on the position of the mains
cable.
:Do not let the cut-off pipe piece drop in an uncontrolled way.
:Do not run the machine unattended.
Danger of being injured by sharp cutting edges!
Non-observance could result in serious injury.
:Keep hands away from the tools during cutting.
XWear safety gloves.

valuable raw and synthetic materials which can be recycled.
Therefore:
•Electrical (electronic) devices which are marked with the symbol to the left,
may not be disposed of with household waste in accordance to the EU
directive 2002/96/EC.
•By actively using the offered return and collection systems, you actively
contribute to the reuse, recycling and utilization of electrical (electronic)
devices.
•Electrical (electronic) used devices contain parts which must be handled
selectively according to the EU directive. Separate collection and selective
treatment is the basis for environment-friendly disposal and the protection
of human health.
•Our products that were sold to you after August 13th, 2005 are taken back
and treated according to legal standards. These products have to be send
free of charge.
