Safety Instructions for Mafell Tools 070677.1024-C

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides essential safety and maintenance instructions for Mafell tools. Key safety requirements include:

• Usage: Tools are exclusively for use in designated original Mafell power tools.
• Inspection: Never use tools with visible cracks. Discard circular saw blades if the body is torn.
• Carbide Tips: Do not use carbide-tipped saw blades if the cutting tip thickness is less than 1 mm due to wear or regrinding.
• Clamping: Ensure tools are clamped securely on the hub or clamping surface. Do not use loose reducing rings or bushes.
• Speed: Never exceed the maximum speed stated on the tool.

General safety instructions

Tools must only be used by trained and experienced personnel proficient in tool handling. Always consult the operating instructions of the specific Mafell power tool to determine the correct tool and compatible materials for your application. Any use beyond the intended purpose is considered non-intended use, for which the manufacturer is not liable.

Tool assembly and clamping

Proper assembly is critical for safety:

• Ensure clamping surfaces are free of dirt, grease, oil, and water.
• Tighten fastening screws and nuts using suitable wrenches to the torque specified by the manufacturer (refer to the power tool's operating instructions).
• Do not extend wrenches or use striking tools for tightening.
• Ensure blades do not come into contact with each other or with clamping elements during assembly.

Repair and regrinding

Repair and regrinding must be performed according to manufacturer instructions:

• Qualified Personnel: Composite tools must be repaired by a qualified person (e.g., Mafell After Sales Service) who understands the construction, design, and safety requirements.
• Original Parts: Repairs must use spare parts that comply with the specifications for original parts.
• Tolerances: Maintain tolerances that ensure proper clamping.
• One-piece tools: When regrinding, ensure the hub and the connection between the blade and hub are not weakened.
• MAN Marking: Milling tools marked with MAN must continue to comply with standards for manual feed tools after any repair.

Maintenance and cleaning

Light metal alloys may only be cleaned of resin using solvents that do not impair the mechanical properties of the material. Wearing protective gloves during handling improves grip and reduces the risk of injury.
