The stop rail should always as close as possible to
the cutting plane, in order to achieve better cutting
quality. It is therefore released at its ends, so that the
upper saw guard can be moved close enough when
cutting narrow workpieces. To adjust the stop rail,
loosen the clamping lever 30 (Fig. 8 - page 4).
Shifting the guide rod in the rod fixture 27 enables
adjusting the stop in such a way that depending on
the respective workpiece dimensions and optimal
adjustment of the kerf width can be obtained.

Service and maintenance

Danger
Pull the power plug during 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 Examination of the safety devices

The safety of the machine depends primarily on the
functional capability of the provided safety devices. It
is therefore important that these devices are

examined regularly for correct condition. This also
means in particular the kerf guide and the upper saw
guard.
Furthermore, the following must be checked every
two weeks:
- automatic return of the saw unit to the home
position when used as a pull saw (see Section 4.7)
- automatic locking of the saw unit in the home
position after returning
- functional capability of the automatic locking of the
saw unit in the centre position when used as a
circular saw (see Section 4.8)
- Mains cable for damages

6.2 Machine care

The sliding and rolling parts must be occasionally
cleaned of chips and dust with a suitable vacuum
cleaner. Occasional spraying with a commercially
available lubricant (e.g. Caramba) facilitates sliding of
the parts.
In order to avoid a too large temperature rise of the
motor check occasionally that there is no dust deposit
on its surface.

6.3 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.
Elimination
Check power supply
Replace fuse
Take the machine to a MAFELL
customer service shop
