Operating method
Set the cutting depth and cutting angle on the
machine.
Place the machine on the start of the FLEXI rail
such that the guide elements 1 (Figure. 4) of the
rail engage in the base plate groove.
Turn on the machine and push it evenly in the
direction of the cut.
Do not clean the FLEXI rail with
solvents. Non-skid coating may get
damaged.
5.7
Sawing shadow gaps
The minimum shadow gap width is:
-
if used without parallel stop 13 mm (33/64 in.)
-
if used with parallel stop 14 mm (35/64 in.) (at
cutting depth of 0 - 32 mm / 0 – 1 ¼ in.)
-
if used with parallel stop 18 mm (45/64 in.) (at
cutting depth of 32 - 42 mm / 1 ¼ - 1 21/32 in.)
Set the required cutting depth.
Retract the retractable saw guard with the lever
2 (Fig. 3) and set the machine onto the first
fitted workpiece.
Switch on the machine and push the machine
evenly in cutting direction, in addition using the
extraction device.
5.8
Sawing with the parallel stop
When making parallel cuts, the parallel guide fence 4
(Fig. 1) serves to saw parallel to an already existing
edge. The guide fence can be attached to the left or
right of the machine. The cutting range on the right-
hand side amounts to approx. 65 mm ( 2 9/16 in. )
and on the left-hand side to approx. 250 mm ( 9 27/32
in. ).
Once you have unfastened the wing screws you
can adjust the cutting width 9 (Fig. 2) by moving
the guide fence accordingly and afterwards
retightening the wing screws.
Additionally, the parallel limit stop can also be used
as double support to improve machine guidance by
simply turning it around (guide face for the workpiece
edge is pointing upwards). Now the machine can be
guided along a lath fastened on the workpiece.
5.9
Sawing according to tracings
The base plate is equipped with a tracing edge 10
(Fig. 3) both for straight cuts and for bevel cuts. This
tracing edge corresponds to the saw blade's inside.
For bevel cuts, the tracing can be viewed through the
opening on the left-hand side of the upper saw guard.
Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.
Switch on the machine and evenly advance the
machine in cutting direction.
when the cut is completed, switch off the saw by
releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 1).

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.
