Instructions on the use of personal protective
equipment:
- The noise pressure level at the ear generally
exceeds 85 dB(A). Operators should therefore
wear ear protectors.
- Always wear protective goggles during milling.
- You should wear a dust mask to prevent any
damage to health.
Instructions on operation:
- Do not reach with your hands into the milling area
and do not touch the milling cutter. Hold the
machine by the two handles provided for that
purpose.
- Do not reach under the base plate.
- Provide for an unobstructed and slip-proof location
with sufficient lighting.
- The power plug must be pulled before replacing
tools, making adjustments
malfunctions (this also comprises removing
jammed chips).
- Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Do not
mill into metal parts, e.g. nails (danger of
backlash).
- Before starting up, check the tight seat of the
milling cutter and its correct running.
- Only use milling cutters approved for manual feed.
- Only use sharp and undamaged milling cutters.
You will achieve improved surfaces and reduce the
danger of backlash.
- Do not work on workpieces, which are too small or
too large for the capability of the machine.
- Whenever possible, secure the workpiece against
slipping, e.g. with screw clamps.
- Firmly hold onto the machine with both hands
already before switching it on.
- Only begin milling the workpiece when the milling
cutter has achieved its full speed.
- Always lead the connecting cable away from the
machine to the rear while milling.
- Never reach into the working range of the milling
cutter or underneath the base plate while the
machine is running.(Danger of injury)!
- An even infeed during milling increases the life
time of milling cutter and machine and achieves a
clean milling pattern. Always mill in counter
direction when using a large tool to work on edges.
- Only put down the machine after switching off once
the milling cutter has come to a standstill or
unscrew the clamping for the automatic reverse
stroke on the machine and lock the latter again.
- Milling cutters must be replaced in good time, as
blunt milling cutters do not only increase the
danger of backlash, but also place an unnecessary
strain on the motor. The milling cutters must be
clamped in accordance with 4.3.
- The wood dust arising during milling impairs the
necessary view and is partly injurious to health. If
the machine is used for longer periods, it must
therefore be connected to a chip extractor, e.g. a
portable small extractor, if the work is not carried
out outdoors or in a sufficiently ventilated room.
The air velocity must be at least 20 m/s (65.6
ft/sec.).
and repairing
Instructions on service and maintenance:
- Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an
important safety factor.
- Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories
may be used. Otherwise the manufacturer will not
accept any warranty claims and cannot be held
liable.

4.1 Mains connection

Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.
Only connect switched off machine to the power
supply

4.2 Chip and dust extraction (see Fig.1)

Chips arising during milling as well as hazardous
dusts arising from certain materials can be extracted
with the extraction hood 64 by means of a
commercial vacuum cleaner or external dust
extractor. The transparent plastic facilitates an
unobstructed view of the milling cutter. The extraction
hood is placed onto the base plate and clamped into
the bayonet receiver by turning.
