-
Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not wind
the cable around the machine.
-
Only allow an electrician to carry out work on the
electrical parts of the machine.
-
Store the machine in a dry, locked place outside
the reach of children.
Instructions on the use of personal protective
equipment:
-
Always wear ear protectors during work.
-
Always where a dust mark during work.
Instructions on operation:
-
Provide for an unobstructed and slip-proof location
with adequate lighting.
-
The power plug must be pulled before replacing
tools,
making
adjustments
and
repairing
malfunctions (this also comprises removing
jammed chips).
-
Do not work on workpieces which are too small or
too large for the capability of the machine.
-
The switch may not be wedged.
-
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece against
slipping, e.g. with screw clamps.
-
Firmly hold onto the machine already before
switching it on.
-
Only begin planing the workpiece when the planing
shaft has achieved its full speed.
-
Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Never
attempt to plane over nails or other metal objects.
-
During planing, always lead the connecting cable
away from the machine to the side (Fig. 1).
-
An even feed during planing increases the life time
of blades and machine and reduces the risk of
accidents. Do not reverse plane or plunge plane!
-
Planing blades must be reversed or replaced in
good time, as blunt blades do not only increase the
danger of backlash, but also place an unnecessary
strain on the motor.
-
Only remove the machine from the workpiece if the
planing shaft has come to a standstill.
-
Never reach into the planing shaft or into the chip
ejector while the machine is running.
-
Once the machine has been switched off, only put
it down when the planing shaft has come to a
standstill or reset the depth of cut to 0.
-
The wood dust arising during planing 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 (65.6
ft/sec.).
Instructions on service and maintenance:
-
Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an
important safety factor.
-
Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories
may be used. Otherwise the manufacturer will not
accept any warranty claims and cannot be held
liable.
4 Setting / Adjustment
4.1 Mains connection
The carpenter's plane is equipped with protective
insulation according to Class I and may therefore only
be connected to socket outlets with protective earth
conductor.
Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.
4.2 Dust extraction
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The internal diameter of hose connector is 75 mm ( 2
15/16 in.).
4.3 Blade change
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Sharp planing blades guarantee a regular planing
pattern and put less strain on the motor. Blunt planing
blades must therefore be reversed or exchanged.
Prior to the blade exchange, release screws 13 (Fig.
3) at the lateral cover and tilt away the cover 14.
Screw the hexagon head screws 10 (Fig. 2) approx. 1
