Safety instructions

Danger
Always observe the following safety
instructions and the safety
regulations applicable in the
respective country of use!
General instructions:
- Children and adolescents must not operate this
machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised by
an expert.
- Never work without the protection devices
prescribed for the respective operating sequence
and do not make any changes to the machine that
could impair safety.
- When operating the machine outdoors, use of an
earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended.
Use in wet conditions or in rain is excluded. There
is danger of electric shock.
- 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.
Instructions on the use of personal protective
equipment:
- Always wear ear protectors during work.
- Always wear protective goggles during work.
- Always where a dust mark during work.
Instructions on operation:
- Hold the machine in any situation with both hands
at the handles provided.
- Provide a free and non-slip location with adequate
lighting.
- Ensure that no persons are within the danger zone
(Fig. 8).
- Unplug the power cord before changing tools,
making adjustments or rectifying faults (including
the removal of jammed chips).
- Do not work on workpieces which are too small or
too large for the capability of the machine.
- Install and fasten the milling head properly. Use
sharp cutters and taper taps; blunt cutters increase
the risk of recoil. Immediately replace damaged
cutters and taper taps and fasten them so that they
cannot become loose during operation.
- The switch may not be wedged in place.
- Before switching on, make sure that the milling
head is tightly secured and that the wrench has
been removed.
- Always ensure that the workpiece is secured
against slipping, e.g. with tension clamps.
- Hold firmly onto the machine before switching it on.
- Begin milling the workpiece only once the milling
head had reached its full speed.
- Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Do not
mill into metal parts, e.g. nails.
- Never reach under the workpiece (risk of injury!) or
under the guiding system.
- While milling, always lead the connecting cable to
the back and away from the machine.
- An even forward feed during milling extends the
service life of the milling cutter bit and the
machine.
- Remove the machine from the workpiece only
when the milling head has come to a standstill.
