5.5 Chip ejection
The carpenter's plane is designed such that during
planing with appropriate feed speed and fully utilised
planing width, an efficient chip ejection is ensured. In
the process, the chips are ejected to the side so that
the view onto the workpiece is not obstructed.
6 Service and maintenance
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
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.
Only use our special grease, order No. 049040 (1 kg
tin) for all greasing points.
6.1 Tool
The planing shaft, spacer blocks, blade carriers and
blades used on the machine should be regularly
deresinified as a clean tool improves the cutting
quality. Deresinification is carried out by placing the
spacer blocks, blade carriers and reversible blades
for 24 hours in petroleum or a commercial
deresinificaton agent.
Aluminium tools may only be
deresinified with solvents which do
not corrode the aluminium.
6.2 Storage
If the machine is not used for a longer period of time,
it has to be carefully cleaned. Spray bright metal parts
with a rust inhibitor.
