Sawing According To Tracings; Sawing With Parallel Stop; Working With The Roller Edge Guide - Mafell KSS 80 Ec / 370 Manual De Instrucciones

The riving knife / splitter swings up and away
when the blade enters the workpiece. As soon
as the slit behind the saw blade is cleared
during the forward motion of the machine, the
riving knife reverts to its normal position.
In case of repetitive plunge cuts of
the same depth, the plunging depth
can be preset.
Proceed as follows:

Set the machine to the desired cutting depth.

Open the clamping screw 14 (Fig. 2) and set the
stop bar 16 downwards up to the limit stop.

Retighten the clamping screw. After completion
of the plunge work, set the stop bar into the top
position.

5.6 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 chapter 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.

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.
without guide rail
You can detach the machine from the guide rail
towards the rear by pressing the ratchet 22 (Fig. 3).
The pivoting part is equipped with a tracing edge for
0° - 60°. This tracing edge corresponds to the saw
blade's inside. For diagonal cuts, the marking can be
viewed through the opening on the left-hand side of
the upper saw guard (arrow, fig. 2).

Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.

Switch on the portable circular saw (see chapter
5.2) and slide the machine evenly forward in the
direction of the cut.

When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 8 (Fig. 2)

5.7 Sawing with parallel stop

The parallel stop 17 (Fig. 2) 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 40 -
200 mm (1 37/64 – 7 7/8 in.) and on the left-hand side
to 195 - 405 mm (7 43/64 – 15 15/16 in.). In the range
195 – 260 mm (7 43/64 – 10 15/64 in.), the machine
must be set approx. 10 mm (25/64 in.) to the top, so
that the machine can be pushed under the motor
casing.

You can adjust the cutting width after releasing
the wing screws 9 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit
stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the
wing screws.
In addition, by simply turning it around (guide face for
the workpiece edge points upwards), the parallel stop
can also be used as double support to improve
guidance of the portable circular saw. Now the
machine can be guided along a lath that is fastened
on the workpiece.

5.8 Working with the roller edge guide

The roller edge guide serves to work 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. 12 - 48 mm
(15/32 – 1 57/64 in.) and on the left-hand side to
approx. 40 – 280 mm (1 37/64 – 11 15/64 in.).

You can adjust the cutting width after releasing
the wing screws 9 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit
stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the
wing screws.
