INTRODUCTION
All information necessary for a correct assembly to ensure trouble free operation of the cable reel are described in the present operating
instructions. The warranty given by the manufacturer is only valid if these operating instructions are observed and adhered to. Terms and
conditions are available upon request or at https://www.schill.de/en/footer/general-terms.
Additional user manuals for other product variants can be found at https://www.schill.de/en/downloads or received on request (see
"CONTACT").
GENERAL
Automatic cable rewinder provide for a modern power supply of workstations or the perfect supply of electrical energy, data, and signals
for mobile devices. The cable is only pulled out when needed and in the required length. The remainder stays neatly stored on the cable
reel and is protected from contamination and damage. The power connection is always accessible, but never in the way. The cable length
can be easily adapted to a changing work situation. There is no cable chaos, no tripping hazard anymore. If the cable connection is no
longer needed, a short pull on the cable stopper will suffice and the cable will roll up neatly. The automatic cable rewinder provides safety
and order.
In the MFK version, commercially available pre-assembled cables can be used without having to guide them via a rotary
transformer. The physical properties of the cable are retained.
HANDLING
The coiled cable should be pulled out to the required length against the spring tension, but please refrain from the use of undue force. The
cable is coiled and fixed in position as described under "LOCKING DEVICE". The cable should never be pushed in manually. If the cable
becomes entangled when winding it onto the reel, simply pull the cable out again and then rewind.
Attention
When rolling up and unrolling, the connection cable must be stored inside the coil and secured with the Velcro fastener (see
cable assembly). Otherwise, the line may be damaged and there is a risk of injury due to the swirling end of the connection
cable.
MAINTENANCE
The cable reel does not require any maintenance, due to the excellent antifriction properties of the plastic bearing. However, the cable
must be checked in regular intervals for damages and replaced if necessary.
SPIRAL SPRING
The spiral spring is subject to natural wear and tear and can result in a fatigue fracture of the spring steel. Based on experience, we
recommend changing the spring after approx. 30.000 operations. The term “operations” defines not only a complete winding and
unwinding of the spring but also includes a partial movement of the spring. For a safe replacement of the coil spring, please refer to
paragraph (“REPLACING THE SPIRAL SPRING”).
CABLE STOPPER
The length of the available cable can be individually adjusted with the provided cable stopper.
The reliable clamping adapts to various cable diameters between 6 and 12 mm. For a thicker
cable, a larger version is available. The stopper also serves as a safeguard against retraction
of the cable in case of a not intended release. It should therefore never be removed.

LOCKING DEVICE
As a standard feature the cable reel has a disengageable cable locking device. The latching mechanism ensures that the pulled-out cable
stays without traction fixed in place. When the cable is being pulled out, the spring detent passes over a series of grooves. An audible
click indicates that the locking device is engaged. If you gently rewind the cable after the clicking sound, you will notice that the spring
detent will engage into the notches, locking the cable in position. The cable can be disengaged by gently continuing to pull the cable until
the click can no longer be heard. The tensioned spring will pull the cable back onto the reel.
Attention
Do not release the cable when rewinding, the tension of the spring can accelerate the winding speed to such a degree that the
swinging cable end could cause injury. Also damage to the cable and spring could be the result of such an action.
The locking device FT / FTE 260 can be disengaged by pulling the knurled grip out by approx. 1cm and turning it between 90° and
180°. This will disengage the locking device the cable is then constantly under tension.
CABLE ASSEMBLY
The standard MFK cable reels are supplied as standard without cable
assembly (see "Installation Cables".
The cable is installed in the cable reel in such a way that a cable with the
connection length X protrudes on the connection side. Cable assembly is
described below. To change the extension length, the connection cable must
be rolled up in the coil and fastened.
Attention
When rolling up and unrolling, the connecting cable must be stored
inside the coil and secured with the Velcro fastener. Otherwise, the line
may be damaged and there is a risk of injury due to the swirling end of
the connection cable.
The maximum pull-out length depends on cable outer diameter (OD), cable
weight incl. plug-in device, weight of the cable stopper and the built-in coil
spring.

CABLE INSTALLATION
•Loosen all the screws and remove the cover ccarefully.
Attention
The spiral spring in the coil is under tension. Please ensure that the locking mechanism is activated.
•Take the tension off the coil. To do this, proceed as follows:
➢Carefully turn the coil against the clockwise direction until the rattling of the ratchet is no longer heard. A pull will be
noticeable. Do not let go of the coil.
➢Slowly run back the coil. The coil should be easily movable at the end and not locked in the locking.
•Dismantle strain relief and screws in the coil.
•Guide the cable through the opening in the coil until connection length X.
•Fix the cable with the strain relief.
•Store the overstanding connecting cable inside the coil and securely with the Velcro fastener.
•Install the cable stopper at the end of the pull-out cable.
•Wind the pull-out cable counterclockwise on the coil.
•Adjust the pre-load:
Hold the stopper outside the housing and hold it with one hand. Now turn the coil as often as you want to pre-load. At the end let it
snap into the notches (see "LOCKING DEVICE").
•Undertake the re-assembly in reverse order (see “TIGHTENING TORQUE”).
•After the complete re-assembly undo the locking. Pull on the cable stopper, wind out the cable complete and slowly rewind it.
•Before re-mounting at the operation area, please check for a correct performance.

EXCHANGING THE PULL-OUT CABLE
•Disconnect the cable reel from the power supply and remove from the operation site.
•Loosen all the screws and remove the housing cover.
•Carefully remove the cover.
Attention
The spiral spring in the coil is under tension. Please ensure that the locking mechanism is activated.
•To replace the pull-out cable, you should make sure the spring is unwound for your own safety! Please adhere to the following
instruction:
1. Carefully pull on the cable stopper until the click of the notches have faded, you immediately notice a pull on the cable
stopper in the opposite direction.
2. Let the coil run back slowly and count the number of turns. This is important to adjust later the exact preload on the
spring again, without damage to coil or spiral spring. In the end the coil should be able to move freely.
3. Remove the damaged cable from the coil.
4. Remove strain relief.
5. Remove defective pull-out cable.
6. Remove the cable stopper and attach to the new cable.
•Undertake the re-assembly in reverse order (see “TIGHTENING TORQUE”).
•Adjust the pre-load:
Hold the stopper outside the housing and hold it with one hand. Now turn the coil as often as you counted. At the end let it snap
into the notches (see "LOCKING DEVICE").
•After the complete re-assembly undo the locking. Pull on the cable stopper, wind out the cable complete and slowly rewind it.
•Before re-mounting at the operation area, please check for a correct performance.

installation position!
•Insert the new spring. Pay attention to the installation position!
ATTENTION
Due to the manufacturing design the spring is under tension and could unwind very fast and cause injuries if handled
improper.
•Reinsert the plastic axle and assemble the spring cover disc. Ensure the retainer pin is engaging the spring eye.

INSTALLATION HEIGHT
The installation height of the cable rewinder is not limited. The maximum extension length is the specified cable length. The standard
cables are designed to withstand the weight of the extended cable included cable stopper. Additional tensile forces (cause by additional
weights for example) are not permitted.
When the cable is pull-out horizontally due to the weight of cable a slack occurs. This is about 10% of the cable pull-out length.
