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
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 internal diameter of the integrated extraction
connection 11 (fig. 3) amounts to 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 along and across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm ( 6
1/4 x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 24 teeth
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm ( 6
1/4 x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 16 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm ( 6
1/4 x 5/64 in. x 20 mm ), 32 teeth
4.4 Replacing the saw blade
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Press the locking bolt 2 (Fig. 1).
Using the Allen-key 14 (brackets Fig. 3),
unfasten the flange screw 8 (Fig. 2)
counter
clockwise
; remove the screw as well as the
front clamping flange 7.
Now you can remove the saw blade after
opening the retractable saw guard 9.
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.
In doing so, keep the locking bolt depressed.
Do not press the locking bolt 2 (Fig.
1) with the machine running! The
machine may get damaged.
4.5 Riving knife/splitter
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
The riving knife / splitter 5 (Fig. 2) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in Fig. 4.
For adjustment, unfasten the two cylinder-head
screws 4 (Fig. 2) with the Allen-key supplied
with the saw 14 (Fig. 3).
Adjust the riving knife / splitter by shifting it in its
longitudinal slit. Afterwards retighten the two
cylinder-head screws.
