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.
- 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:
- 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.
- If possible 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 while milling (risk
of injury!).
- 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. Do not mill backwards or using the dip
milling method.
- Remove the machine from the workpiece only
when the milling head has come to a standstill.
The warning light 25 (Fig. 1)
indicates the rotation of the tool by
means of an "orange" signal. The
warning light 25 switches off when
the tool is stationary. Now you can
pull the machine back into the
starting position. As long as the
signal glows, you may not lift the
machine off the workpiece or pull it
back in the workpiece.
- Switch off the machine and let the milling head
come to a standstill before making various angle
and height adjustments on the machine.
- Do not place the machine onto the workbench
or floor without the lower guard covering the
tool. An unguarded, coasting tool moves the
machine opposite to the milling direction and will
