5.8 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.

5.9 Sawing with parallel stop

The parallel stop 4 (Fig. 1) serves to cut 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. 65 mm (2
9/16 in.) and on the left-hand side to approx. 250 mm
(9 27/32 in.).

You can adjust the cutting width after
unfastening the wing screws 9 (Fig. 2) by
moving the limit stop accordingly and afterwards
refastening the wing screws.
In addition, by simply turning it over (guide surface for
the workpiece edge is pointing upwards), the parallel
stop can be used as double support to improve
machine guidance. Now the machine can be guided
along a lath that is fastened on the workpiece.

5.10 Sawing according to tracings with guide rail

When sawing according to tracing, the right edge of
the guide rail serves as tracing indicator. This also
applies to bevel cuts. Please take note of Section 5.4.

For sawing, place the guide rail onto the
workpiece.

Switch on the machine (see Chapter 5.2) and
slide the machine evenly in cutting direction.

When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 1)

While it is resting on the workpiece, pull the
machine back into home position and in this
position remove it from the workpiece.
Proceeding in this manner ensures that the
retractable saw guard is completely closed.
5.11 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.
