CUSIP NO. 810022 30 1             SCHEDULE 13D                    Page 8 of 11

This Amendment No. 7 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on 
December 22, 1998 by Stinson Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited 
partnership ("Stinson"); the Carpenters Pension Trust for Southern California 
(the "Carpenters Trust"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., a California 
limited partnership ("RCBA L.P."); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a 
California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); RCBA GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited 
liability company ("RCBA GP"), and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a 
substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a managing member of RCBA GP. This 
Amendment No. 7 relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10(the "Common 
Stock"), of Scott Technologies, Inc. (formerly Figgie International, Inc.), a 
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").  The principal executive office and 
mailing address of the Issuer is 5875 Landerbrook Drive, Mayfield Heights, 
Ohio 44124. The following amendment to Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby 
made.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the 
meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

(a),(b) According to the Issuer there were 18,170,887 shares of Common Stock 
issued and outstanding as of December 15, 1998. Based on such information, the 
Reporting Persons report the following direct holdings and corresponding 
percentage interests in the Common Stock: (i) Stinson reports direct holdings 
of 866,706 (4.8%) shares of the Common Stock; (ii) Carpenters Trust reports 
direct holdings of 1,150,709 (6.3%) shares of the Common Stock; (iii) RCBA 
Inc. and RCBA L.P. report holdings of 711,526 (3.9%) shares of the Common 
Stock owned directly by certain of the limited partnerships for which RCBA 
L.P. serves as the general partner and certain of RCBA L.P.'s investment 
advisory client accounts;(iv) RCBA GP reports holdings of 692,430 (3.8%) 
shares of the Common Stock owned directly by the limited partnership for which 
it serves as the sole general partner; and (v) Mr. Blum reports the aggregate 
of these shares for a total of 3,421,371 (18.8%) shares of the Common Stock.

In addition, because RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power with respect to 
346,405 shares the Common Stock that are legally owned by The Common Fund for 
the account of its Equity Fund ("The Common Fund"), those shares are reported 
as beneficially owned by RCBA L.P.  The Common Fund is principally engaged in 
the business of managing investments for educational institutions.  The 
principal administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 450 Post Road 
East, Westport, Connecticut 06881-0909.  The Common Fund disclaims membership 
in a group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial 
ownership of any shares held by the Reporting Persons.

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by 
RCBA L.P and RCBA GP.  The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be 
members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to 
have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,767,776 shares which is 20.7% 
of the outstanding Common Stock.  As the sole general partner of RCBA L.P., 
RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which RCBA

CUSIP NO. 810022 30 1            SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 9 of 11

L.P. has voting and investment power.  As Chairman and a substantial 
shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial 
owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.  Additionally, Mr. 
Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities over which 
RCBA GP has voting and investment power.  Although Mr. Blum is joining in this 
Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be 
construed as an admission that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors 
or executive officers of RCBA Inc., or managing members and members of RCBA 
GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that 
are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. or RCBA GP, except to the extent of any 
pecuniary interest therein.

(c)  During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons purchased the following 
shares of Common Stock in the open market:
