Chip Extraction; Saw Blade Selection; Replacing The Saw Blade; Riving Knife/Splitter - Mafell MS 55 Manual De Instrucciones Original

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.
