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.
4 Setting / Adjustment
4.1 Mains connection
Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.
4.2 Chip extraction
Danger
Substances that are harmful to
health must be taken up with an M-
suction device.
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inside diameter of hose connector 1 (Fig. 3) is 35
mm (1 3/8 in.).
4.3 Saw blade selection
Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
-
Circular saw blade carbide Ø 168 x 1.8 x 20 mm,
16 teeth
For cuts along and across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
-
Circular saw blade carbide Ø 168 x 1.8 x 20 mm,
24 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
-
Circular saw blade carbide Ø 168 x 1.8 x 20 mm,
32 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain “fine cuts“ in
soft or hard wood:
-
Circular saw blade carbide Ø 168 x 1.8 x 20 mm,
56 teeth
4.4 Saw blade change
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Press the push-button 2 (Fig. 2) and pull the
locking lever 3 (Fig. 2) upwards. Now the saw
shaft is locked in position and the gearshift lever
locked.
Using the Allen key 4 (brackets Fig. 3) release
the flange screw 5 (Fig. 3)
counter clockwise.
Remove the screw and the front clamping flange
6 (Fig. 3).
Now you can remove the saw blade after
opening the retractable saw guard.
The clamping flanges must be free of adhering
parts.
Pay attention to the sense of rotation when
inserting the saw blade.
Afterwards, mount the clamping flange, attach
the flange screw and tighten it by
clockwise
turning.
4.5 Riving knife/splitter
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
The riving knife 7 (Fig. 3) prevents the saw blade
from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The correct
distance to the saw blade is shown in (Fig. 4).
For adjustment purposes, release the screw 8
(Fig. 3) with the Allen key 4 that is included in
the supply (Fig. 3).
Adjust the riving knife/splitter by moving it in its
longitudinal groove and retighten the screw
afterwards.
