5.4 Setting for bevel cuts

For bevel cuts, the saw unit can be set to any angle
between 0 and 45°.

Unfasten the wing screws 10 (Fig. 2).

Adjust the angle according to the scale on the
segment for tilting.

Afterwards, tighten the wing screws 10.

5.5 Plunge cuts

Danger
Risk of backlash during plunge
cuts! Prior to plunging, place the
machine with the rear edge of its
base plate against a limit stop
fastened on the workpiece. Keep a
firm hold on the machine handle
during plunging and push the saw
lightly forward!

Unfasten the clamping lever 11 (Fig. 2).

Set lever 6 to position "-2" on scale 7 .

Use the integrated handle 14 (Fig. 3) to
completely open the retractable saw guard so
that the machine can be placed onto the
workpiece to be processed. The saw blade is
now running freely above the material and can
be aligned for tracing.

Switch on the machine only now.

Press the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) downwards.
This causes the saw blade to plunge vertically
into the workpiece. The plunging depth can be
read from scale 7. 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.

5.6 Sawing according to tracings

The base plate has three tracing edges 17 (Fig. 3) for
0°, 30° and 45°. These tracing edges correspond to
the saw blade's inside. For bevel cuts, the tracing 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 2 (Fig. 1).

5.7 Sawing with parallel guide fence

The parallel stop 4 (Fig. 1) serves to saw parallel to
an already existing edge. The limit stop can be
attached both to the left and right of the machine. The
cutting range on the right-hand side amounts to
approx. 155 mm and on the left-hand side to approx.
280 mm.

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 guide that is fastened
on the workpiece.

Service and maintenance

Danger
Unplug the rechargeable battery for
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 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.
