Sawing according to tracings without guide
rail
Danger
When sawing without guide rail it is
imperative to install the enclosed
parallel stop. It serves as double
support to improve machine
guidance and is for your safety.
Set the machine's cutting depth to at least 30 mm (1
3/16 in.). Afterwards, you can remove the machine
from the guide rail to the rear by actuating the locking
lever 20 (Fig. 7).
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
Unplug the rechargeable battery for
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.
6.2
Transport
The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the
Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. The user
can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
When being transported by third parties (e.g.: air
transport or forwarding agency), special requirements
on packaging and labelling must be observed. For
preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an
expert for hazardous material is required.
Dispatch batteries only when the housing is
undamaged. Tape or mask off open contacts and
pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot
move around in the packaging.
Please also observe possibly more detailed national
regulations.
