Service and maintenance
MAFELL machines are of a low-maintenance design.
Have the carbon brushes replaced after a maximum of 125 to 150 operating hours.
The installed ball bearings are lubricated for life. After a longer period of operation, MAFELL recommends that
the machine be handed over to an authorized MAFELL service workshop for inspection.

Storage
Clean the machine thoroughly if you will not use it for quite some time. Spray bare metal parts with a rust
inhibitor.
