Safety instructions
Woodworking machines can be
dangerous when in use. You should
therefore always follow the safety
instructions set out in this chapter,
as well as the safety regulations
applicable in the country of use!
General instructions:
Never work without the protective equipment
prescribed for the relevant operation and do not
make any modifications to the machine that
could undermine safety.
Children and young persons must not operate
this machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons over the age of 16 years receiving
training and being supervised by an expert.
Work on the electrical components of the
machine should only be performed by a trained
electrician.
Prior to all work, make sure that the safety and
operating equipment is securely attached and
undamaged. Damaged safety equipment and
parts must be correctly repaired or exchanged.
Always be aware of environmental influences.
Do not allow the machine to be exposed to the
rain and do not use the machine in a damp or
wet environment, or in the vicinity of inflam-
mable liquids or gases.
The machine must be operated only outdoors or
on well ventilated premises as an effective chip
and dust extraction is not possible.
When operating the machine outdoors, use of
an earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recom-
mended.
Do not carry the machine by the cable and do
not remove the mains plug from the socket by
pulling on the cable.
Protect the cable against oil and high tempera-
tures and do not pull it over any sharp edges.
Damaged cables or plugs must be renewed
immediately.
Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not
wind the cable around the machine.
Only use MAFELL tools which are stated in the
price list.
Do not use:
Damaged tools.
Blunt tools.
Store the machine in the dry under lock and key
and out of reach of children.
Instructions on the use of personal safety equip-
ment:
Always wear close-fitting industrial clothing and
remove rings, bracelets and watches.
The sound pressure level at the workplace
exceeds 85 dB (A). Users should therefore wear
ear protectors.
Instructions on operation:
Provide an uncluttered, anti-slip location with
adequate illumination.
Before tool changes and eliminating malfunc-
tions (including the removal of trapped chips),
pull out the mains plug.
Never work with pieces which are too big or too
small for the machine´s capacity.
Machine must be switched off before being con-
nected to the mains.
Before switching on make sure that the tool as
well as the knives are clamped correctly.
Hold the machine firmly before switching it on.
The bolt for the stop for torsional force must
completely touch the workpiece. If the contact is
not sufficient, the bolt can slip away. Thus turn-
ing and hurling away of the machine or the
workpiece cannot be avoided.
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece
against slipping and tipping over (e.g. with
screw clamps).
