Setting / Adjustment; Mains Connection; Saw Chain Change - Mafell ZSX Ec Serie Manual De Instrucciones

- The riving knife/splitter 4 (Fig. 1) including the
guard plate for the bottom chain deflection 6 may
not be removed.
- The machine is a one-man tool and may only be
used for work during which the base plate 3 serves
as workplate.
- Prior to carrying out any work, check whether the
tank contains oil for the chain lubrication and
whether the chain lubrication is working (see
section 4.4).
- Keep a firm hold on the machine already before
switching it on and support it. At the same time, rail
and chain must stand unobstructed. Only begin
cutting the workpiece when the saw chain has
achieved its full speed. Pay attention to a secure
footing.
- The switch may not be wedged in ON position.
- Never reach below the base plate or into the chip
ejector during sawing.
- Never transport the machine with running saw
chain and pay attention that, except for the
workpiece, the running chain does not come in
contact with adjacent objects.
- Never remove cover 12 (Fig. 1) covering the chain
pinion with the machine running and only for a tool
change and refit immediately afterwards.
- As the machine cannot be connected to an
exhaustion, it may only be used to work outdoors
or in sufficiently ventilated rooms.
- Once adopted, never change a cutting direction by
force. The saw must be guided such that the
pressure does not bring the chain to a stop.
- Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Never
attempt to cut into nails or other metal objects.
- Always lead the connecting cable away from the
machine to the rear while sawing.
- Immediately pull the power plug in case of
damaged or severed connecting cables.
- Match the feed speed during sawing to the
material thickness. Feeding too fast results in an
overload of the motor, rough saw cuts and faster
blunting of the saw chain.
- Only remove the machine from the workpiece if the
saw chain has come to a standstill. Thanks to the
built-in brake, this happens very quickly.
Instructions on service and maintenance:
- Regular cleaning of the machine, in particular the
setting mechanisms for tilting the guides for the
parallel stop and the enclosure of the top and
bottom chain deflection, constitutes an important
safety factor. Pull the plug before starting this
work.
- Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories
may be used. Otherwise, the manufacturer will not
accept any warranty claims and cannot be held
liable.

plug before replacing the saw
chain.
Risk of injury even if the saw chain
is standing still.
Proceed as follows to replace the saw chain:

Unfasten
combination screw driver 11 enclosed in the
supply and fastened on cover 12 (Fig. 1) and
