Instructions for service and maintenance:

Cleaning the machine regularly, especially the adjustment elements and the guiding devices, is an important
safety factor.

Ensure that only genuine MAFELL spare parts and accessories are used. Failure to do so will make
warranty claims and the liability of the manufacturer null and void.

Prepare a periodic maintenance schedule for your machine. When you clean the machine, be careful
not to disassemble any part of the machine. Reassembling the machine bears the risk that internal
wires are routed incorrectly or pinched, or that return springs of the safety device are mounted
incorrectly.
Certain cleaning agents, such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. can damage
plastic parts.
-
Some of the dust produced by sawing, sanding, drilling and other building work contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
-
Lead from lead-based paints,
-
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
-
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated wood.
Your risk from this hazard varies with the frequency at which you perform this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: Work in a well-ventilated area. Work only with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out particles of microscopic size.
