Service and maintenance
MAFELL machines are of a low-maintenance design.
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.
Remove accumulated dust from the machine at regular intervals. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the ventilation
openings at the motor.
The resin on the band saw rolls used in the machine should be removed at regular intervals. To remove the
resin, soak the chain fitting for 24 hours in kerosene or a commercially available resin-removing agent.
