
Do not begin cutting until the saw blade has
reached full speed.

Examine the workpiece for foreign objects.
Never attempt to cut nails or other metal
objects.

Always keep your hands well away from the tool
or the tool mounting while the machine is run-
ning.

Keep your hands away from the underside of
the workpiece when cutting (risk of injury!).

When cutting, always lead the cable away from
the machine to the rear.

Match the feedrate to the cutting diameter and
the cutting depth when cutting. Excessive fee-
drates overload the motor, lead to poorly exe-
cuted cuts and blunt the tool prematurely.

A uniform feedrate when cutting increases the
life of the knives and the machine and reduces
the risque of accidents.

The knives must be reversed, sharpened or
replaced in good time as blunt knives do not
only increase the risk of kickback, but also
impose an unnecessary load on the motor.

Do not remove the machine from the workpiece
until the tool is stationary.
Instructions on service and maintenance:

Regular cleaning of the machine, especially of
the tool mounting, is an important safety factor.
Before beginning this task, pull out the mains
plug.

Only original MAFELL spare parts and accesso-
ries must be used. Otherwise the manufacturer
does not offer any warranty and does not accept
any liability.
3 Setting up / Adjusting
3.1 Mains connection
The carpentry drilling machine ZB 100 ES has Class
II protective insulation (double-insulated).
Before starting up, make sure that the mains voltage
matches the voltage stated on the rating plate.
3.2 Mounting and exchanging tools
• Lift sleeve 7 (Fig. 1) until the ring groove 8
around the arbor becomes visible. Insert the drill
bit into the arbor as far as it will go, the flat end of
the drill bit should be in line with the two small
grooves 9 cut into the end of the arbor. Release
the sleeve.
• To exchange the drill bit hold it with one hand, lift
sleeve 7 until the ring groove around the arbor
becomes visible. Remove the drill bit and release
the sleeve. Before inserting a new drill bit make
sure that the shaft of the drill bit and the receiving,
toolholding surface of the arbor are clean.

4.2 Adjusting drilling speed
This drilling machine has a gear box and an elec-
tronic speed control. The drilling speed can be
adjusted continuously between 340 and 1450 rpm.
The built-in electronics ensure a jerk-free accelera-
tion when switching on and control the speed
according to the value set.
The drilling speed required should be selected by
referring to the diagramme 3 (Fig. 2) (see Fig. 3)
and is set by means of the gear shift lever 4 and the
setting wheel 5.
Machine must be switched off before
being connected to the mains.
Always pull out the mains plug before
changing tools.
Do not switch on the machine if the
drill bit is touching the workpiece.
