6.5.6 Milling with guide rail  
To provide a larger bearing surface, a stop web can be  
inserted into the parallel guide fence:  
When a guide rail is used, the groove in the machine’s  
base plate is placed onto the guide web of the guide  
rail.  
While doing so, the machine’s base plate is projecting  
beyond the guide rail. Now use the extraction adapter  
for the guide rail that is included in the scope of supply  
to ensure safe guidance on the guide rail.  
Remove one of the two stop webs at the  
underside of the parallel guide fence.  
Insert the stop web into the device on the parallel  
guide fence intended for this (see Fig. 8). The  
second stop web serves as spare.  
It is also possible to position the machine against the  
edge of the guide rail, opposite the splinter guard, and  
to guide it in this manner.  
An extended working application with the guide rail is  
for instance the use of the milling adapter LO-FA for  
pocket milling. The milling adapter is an optional  
accessory (see chapter 10).  
6.5.3 Milling with template guide  
The template guides (Ø 20, 30 and 40 mm) can be  
used to mill shapes according to templates. The  
template guides are included in the scope of supply.  
After the reduction plate has been removed, the  
template guide 26 (Fig. 9) is inserted in the base plate  
14 (Fig. 1), turned clockwise up to the stop and  
clamped with the wing screws. The template must  
have a large enough bearing surface to prevent the  
machine from tilting to the side. The template must be  
thicker than the collar length of the template guide.  
6.5.7 Milling with support foot  
The support foot 27 (Fig. 9) can in addition be used for  
template milling. With the wing screw 12 (Fig. 1), the  
support foot can be set to a depth up to 30 mm to  
ensure secure guiding of the machine on different  
material thicknesses.  
In addition, it is possible to use a porter cable holding  
fixture for different template guides. This includes, for  
example, the application with the dovetail jig (Leigh)  
where it serves to hold the guide sleeve.

Service and maintenance  
6.5.4 Milling with reduced speed  
Danger  
Pull the power plug during all  
service work.  
The speed reduction is used for edge machining  
crosswise to the wood grain to reduce heat generation  
and friction. Failure to use this can lead to a reduction  
of the milling cutter service life or to burn marks on the  
workpiece.  
MAFELL machines are designed to be low in  
maintenance.  
The ball bearings used are greased for life. When the  
machine has been in operation for a longer period of  
time, we recommend to hand the machine in at an  
authorised MAFELL customer service shop for  
inspection.  
Press the speed reduction button 6 (Fig. 1) to reduce  
the speed (reduction by 30%). The speed reduction is  
reset by pressing the speed reduction button 6 again;  
the machine runs in normal operation again.  
6.5.5 Milling with adapter sleeve  
7.1 Storage  
If an end milling cutter (diameter 6 mm or 1/4") is to be  
used for milling, an adapter sleeve must be used with  
open tool clamp. Push the adapter sleeve completely  
into the collet and push in the milling cutter up to the  
minimum clamping depth. Pay attention that the  
adapter sleeve is free of grease.  
Clean the machine thoroughly if the machine is not  
used for a longer period of time. Spray blank metal  
parts with a rust-proofing agent.
