blade enters the workpiece. As soon as the slit
behind the saw blade is cleared during the
forward motion of the machine, the riving knife
reverts to its normal position.
5.7 Sawing according to tracings
The retractable marking indicator 19 (Fig. 1) is
automatically adjusted for bevel cuts as well. The
tracing edge corresponds to the saw blade's inside.
For diagonal cuts, the marking can be viewed through
the opening on the left-hand side of the upper saw
guard (arrow, fig. 1).
Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.
Switch on the portable circular saw (see chapter
5.2) and slide the machine evenly forward in the
direction of the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 10 (Fig. 2).
5.8 Sawing with parallel stop
The parallel stop serves to saw parallel to an already
existing edge. The limit stop can be attached to the
left or right of the machine. While doing so, the cutting
range amounts to 33 - 130 mm on the right-hand side
(reading indicator "X" Fig. 1) and to 163 - 300 mm on
the left-hand side (reading edge at indicator edge "Y"
Fig. 1). In the range of 163-220 mm, the machine
must be adjusted upwards by approx. 10 mm so that
the limit stop can be pushed under the motor casing.
You can adjust the cutting width after releasing
the wing screws 20 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit
stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the
wing screws.
In addition, by simply turning it around (guide face for
the workpiece edge points upwards), the parallel stop
can also be used as double support to improve
guidance of the portable circular saw. Now the
machine can be guided along a guide that is fastened
on the workpiece.
5.9 Working with the roller edge guide
The roller edge guide serves to work parallel to an
already existing edge. The limit stop can be attached
to the left or right of the machine. The cutting range
on the right-hand side amounts to approx. 12 - 40 mm
and on the left-hand side to approx. 30 – 210 mm.
You can adjust the cutting width after releasing
the wing screws 20 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit
stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the
wing screws.
6 Service and maintenance
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
MAFELL machines are designed to be low in
maintenance.
The ball bearings used are greased for life. When the
machine has been in operation for a longer period of
time, we recommend to hand the machine in at an
authorised MAFELL customer service shop for
inspection.
Only use our special grease, order No. 049040 (1 kg
tin) for all greasing points.
6.1 Storage
If the machine is not used for a longer period of time,
it has to be carefully cleaned. Spray bright metal parts
with a rust inhibitor.
