Setting For Bevel Cuts; Plunge Cuts; Sawing According To Tracings; Sawing With Parallel Guide Fence - Mafell KSP 55 F Manual De Instrucciones

Always set the cutting depth
approx. 2 to 5 mm (1/16 to 3/16 in.)
larger than the material thickness
to be cut.

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!

Release the clamping lever 11 (Fig. 2).

Set lever 6 to position „-2" on scale 7.

Completely open the retractable saw guard with
the integrated handle 14 (Fig. 3), 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.

Press the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) downwards, so
that the saw blade plunges 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

When making parallel cuts, the parallel guide fence 4
(Fig. 1) serves to saw parallel to an already existing
edge. The guide fence can be attached to the left or
right of the machine. The cutting range on the right-
hand side amounts to approx. 155 mm (6 1/8 in.) and
on the left-hand side to approx. 280 mm (11 1/32 in.).

Once you have unfastened the wing screws you
can adjust the cutting width 9 (Fig. 2) by moving
the guide fence 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.

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 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.
