Roughly set the parallel stop to the desired
distance to the milling cutter and tighten the
wing screws 68a.
Use knurled screw 71 to accurately set the

5.5.3
Milling according to template
(see Fig. 2)
The template guide can be used to mill shapes
according to self-made templates. After the reduction
plate has been removed, the template guide is
screwed to the underside of the base plate using the
countersunk screws 70, collar facing down. The
template must be wide enough to guarantee a safe
guiding of the machine and must be thicker than the
template guide collar length.
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 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.
