earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended.  
- Only use sharp and undamaged milling cutters. You  
will achieve improved surfaces and reduce the  
danger of backlash.  
- Do not work on workpieces that are too small or too  
large for the capability of the machine.  
- Damaged cables or plugs must be immediately  
replaced. Replacement may only be carried out by  
Mafell or an authorised MAFELL service workshop  
in order to avoid safety hazards.  
- Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when  
transporting and storing the machine, do not wind  
the cable around the machine.  
- Only use milling cutters approved for manual feed.  
- Only begin milling the workpiece when the milling  
- Only hold the power tool by the isolated handles, as  
the milling cutter could encounter and cut into its  
own connecting cable. The milling cutter contacting  
a "live" wire may render exposed metal parts of the  
tool "live" and could cause the operator to suffer an  
electric shock.  
cutter has achieved its full speed.  
- Use clamps or another practical way to secure and  
support the workpiece to a stable support. Holding  
the workpiece only with your hand or against your  
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of  
control.  
- Only put down the machine after switching off once  
the milling tool has come to a standstill.  
Do not use:

machine to the rear while milling.  
- An even feed during milling increases the life time  
of milling cutter and machine and achieves a clean  
milling pattern. Always mill in counter direction when  
machining 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. The machine is locked by releasing the  
column clamping lever 18 (Fig. 2).  
Instructions on the use of personal protective  
equipment:  
- The noise pressure level at the ear generally  
exceeds 85 dB(A). Therefore wear ear protectors  
during work.  
- Wear protective goggles during work.  
- Wear a dust protection mask to prevent health  
damage.  
- 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 chapter 5.3.  
- 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.  
Instructions on operation:  
- Never reach into the working range of the milling  
cutter or underneath the base plate while the  
machine is running (danger of injury)!  
- Firmly hold onto the machine with both hands at the  
handles provided already before switching it on.  
- Provide a free and non-slip location with adequate  
lighting.  
- The power plug must be pulled before replacing  
tools, making adjustments and repairing  
malfunctions (this also includes 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.

liable.  
For improved extraction, an additional extraction  
adapter can be used (included in the scope of supply).  
When working with a guide rail, an extraction adapter  
with height compensation (included in the scope of  
supply) is used.  
When machining edges, a chip deflector which guides  
any arising chips away from the operator and improves  
extraction can be additionally mounted. The chip  
deflector is included in the scope of supply.

It is imperative to pull the mains  
plug before replacing the milling  
cutter. Place the machine on its  
head or put it down on its side. Do  
not set the machine down on the  
side with the hose connector! This  
can result in damage to the  
workpiece.
