Setting / Adjustment; Mains Connection; Dust Extraction - Mafell MHU 82 Originalbetriebsanleitung

- Do not carry the machine by its cable and do not
use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket
outlet.
- Pay attention that the cable is protected against oil
and heat and is not pulled across sharp edges.
- Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not wind
the cable around the machine.
- Only allow an electrician to carry out work on the
electrical parts of the machine.
- Store the machine in a dry, locked place outside
the reach of children.
Instructions on the use of personal protective
equipment:
- Always wear ear protectors during work.
- Always where a dust mark during work.
Instructions on operation:
- Wait fort he cutter top stop before setting the
tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of
control and serious injury.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutter may contact its
own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
- Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
- Provide for an unobstructed and slip-proof location
with adequate lighting.
- The power plug must be pulled before replacing
tools, making adjustments
malfunctions (this also comprises removing
jammed chips).
- Do not work on workpieces which are too small or
too large for the capability of the machine.
- The switch may not be wedged.
- Only begin planing the workpiece when the planing
shaft has achieved its full speed.
- Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Never
attempt to plane over nails or other metal objects.
- During planing, always lead the connecting cable
away from the machine to the side.
- An even feed during planing increases the life time
of blades and machine and reduces the risk of
accidents. Do not reverse plane or plunge plane!
- Planing blades must be reversed or replaced in
good time, as blunt blades do not only increase the
danger of backlash, but also place an unnecessary
strain on the motor.
- Never reach into the planing shaft or into the chip
ejector while the machine is running.
- The wood dust arising during planing impairs the
necessary view and is partly injurious to health. If
the machine is used for longer periods, it must
therefore be connected to a chip extractor, e.g. a
portable small extractor, if the work is not carried
out outdoors or in a sufficiently ventilated room.
The air velocity must be at least 20 m/s (65.6
ft/sec.).
Instructions on service and maintenance:
- Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an
important safety factor.
- Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories
may be used. Otherwise the manufacturer will not
accept any warranty claims and cannot be held
liable.
- Use a suitable tool, e.g. a piece of wood to clean a
clogged ejection nozzle. Do not reach into the
ejection nozzle.

4.1 Mains connection

The portable electric plane MHU 82 has Class II
protective insulation (double-insulated).
Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
and repairing
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.

4.2 Dust extraction

When machining wood for a long period and when
using the machine industrially with materials that
generate dust which represents a health hazard, the
machine must be connected to a suitable dust
extractor unit.
