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:
- Cracked and misshapen milling cutters.
- Blunt milling cutters as they impose an excessive - Only begin milling the workpiece when the milling

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.

Instructions on service and maintenance:
5.2 Chip and dust extraction

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.
