use if the lower saw guard and the spring do not
work properly.
The lower saw guard may only be opened man-
ually when special cuts, such as "plunge cuts" or
"angle cuts" are carried out. Open the lower saw
guard by means of the drawback lever and let
go of the lever as soon as the saw plate has
immersed in the workpiece.
Do not place the saw onto the workbench or the
floor if the lower saw guard does not cover the
saw blade.
Use a riving knife / splitter which is suitable for
the inserted saw blade.
Adjust the riving knife / splitter as described in
the operating instructions.
Always use the riving knife / splitter, except
when executing plunge cuts.
The riving knife / splitter must be in the saw gap
to be able to take effect.
Do not operate the saw if the riving knife / split-
ter is bent hidden.

Additional safety instructions

Never work without the protective equipment
prescribed for the relevant operation and do not
make any modifications to the machine that
could undermine safety.
Children and young persons must not operate
this machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised
by an expert.
Always be aware of environmental influences.
Do not allow the machine to be exposed to the
rain and do not use the machine in a damp or
wet environment, or in the vicinity of inflam-
mable liquids or gases.
Store the machine in the dry under lock and key
and out of reach of children.
Instructions on operation:
Provide an uncluttered, anti-slip location with
adequate illumination.
Before tool changes, making adjustments and
eliminating malfunctions (including the removal
of trapped splinters), remove the interchangea-
ble battery from the machine.
Never work with pieces which are too big or too
small for the machine´s capacity.
The switch must not be clamped in position.
Before switching on, make sure that the saw
blade ist tightly secured and that the Allen key
has been removed.
Do not begin cutting until the saw blade has
reached full speed.
Examine the workpiece for foreign objects.
Never attempt to cut nails or other metal
objects.
Match the feed rate to the thickness of the work-
piece when sawing. Excessive feed rates over-
load the motor, lead to poorly executed cuts,
and blunt the saw blade prematurely.
Do not remove the machine from the workpiece
until the saw blade is stationary.
Always keep your hands well away from the
chip ejection area while the machine is running.
No attempt must be made to slow down the saw
blade by applying lateral pressure to its surface.
The sawdust created by cutting makes it difficult
to see as clearly as may be necessary and can
be damaging to health in certain circumstances.
If not working outdoors or on well ventilated
premises, the machine must be connected to an
extractor unit, such as a small portable dust
extractor, when operating for long periods. The
air velocity must be at least 20 m/s (65.6 ft/sec.).
Instructions on service and maintenance:
Regular cleaning of the machine, especially the
adjusting devices for the base plate and guide-
ways, is an important safety factor. Before begin-
ning this task, remove the battery from the
machine.
Only original MAFELL spare parts and acces-
sories must be used. Otherwise the manufac-
turer does not offer any warranty and does not
accept any liability.

Setting up / Adjusting

3.1

Charging the battery

The nominal voltage of the rechargeable battery
must conform to the specifications on the machine.
The battery and the charger are matched to each
other. For charging purposes, only a MAFELL rapid
charging device may be used.
If a new machine is used, the battery must be
charged first. A new battery only offers full power
after approx. 5 charging and discharging cycles.
