Cutting Depth Adjustment; Grooves; Handling; Plunge Cuts - Mafell MF 26 cc Manual De Instrucciones

with the two screw clamps (special accessories)
39 (Fig. 8).

Set the cutting depth at the machine.

Switch on the machine and slide it evenly in
cutting direction.

Do not clean the rail with solvents – the anti-skid
coating could get damaged.

5.4 Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth can be set between 0 and 26 mm
(0 and 1 1/32 in.), graded in 1 mm (3/64 in.) steps.
Proceed as follows:

Adjust the indicator 10 (Fig. 8) by turning. The
top position is for working with guide rail, the
bottom position for working without guide rail.

Set the cutting depth with the depth stop 11
(Fig. 5) according to the scale. The limit stop
has a 1 mm (3/64 in.) latching mechanism.

To set intermediate measures, turn the cylinder
head bolt 12 (Fig. 5) with the Allen key 4
(brackets Fig. 2). One turn corresponds to 1 mm
(3/64 in.), one scale line on the screw head
corresponds to 0.1 mm (1/128 in.).

5.5 Grooves

Set the desired cutting depth according to chapter
5.4.
Carry out groove cutting using a
guiding device. Wider grooves are
achieved by laterally offsetting the
guiding device from the right to the
left.

5.6 Handling

Danger
The groove-cutting machine is not
suitable for freehand guidance. The
use of parallel stop, roller edge
guide, KSS rail or F-rail guide is
compulsory. In case of the KSS
model, place the workpiece onto
the support frame in a stable
manner.

5.7 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. When
using the guide rail (special
accessories) you must fasten the
limit stop available as special
accessory on the guide rail. Keep
a firm hold on the machine handle
during plunging and push the saw
lightly forward!

5.8 Working according to marking

The base plate has two fixed marking indicators 17
and 25 (Fig. 1). Marking indicator 25 corresponds to
the centre of the plasterboard and aluminium
compound milling cutter. Marking indicator 17
corresponds to the inside of the saw blade, adjustable
groove cutter and slitting unit.

Always use a guiding device.

Secure the workpiece against dislocation and
arrange the workpiece supports such that the
tool underneath the workpiece is running freely
(in case of a severing cut).

Hold the machine by the handle and place the
front part of the base plate onto the workpiece.

Switch on the groove-cutting machine (see 5.2).
Plunge to the set cutting depth and slide the
machine evenly forward in the direction of the
cut.

After the end of the cut, switch off the groove-
cutting machine by releasing the gearshift lever
8 (Fig. 5).

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.

The saw unit tilts back into the top locked
position.

5.9 Working with the parallel stop

The parallel stop 18 (Fig. 2) is used to work parallel to
an already existing edge. The limit stop can be
-29-
