Setting / Adjustment; Mains Connection; Chip Extraction; Saw Blade Selection - Mafell K 65 cc Manual De Instrucciones

- The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by the
retracting handle and as soon as the blade
enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
- Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing the saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
Riving knife function
- Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function, the body of
the blade must be thinner than the riving knife and
the cutting width of the blade must be wider than
the thickness of the riving knife.
- Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in preventing kickback.
- Always use the riving knife except when
plunge cutting. The riving knife must be replaced
after plunge cutting. The riving knife causes
interference during plunge cutting and can create
kickback.
- For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in
preventing kickback during short cuts.
- Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is
bent Even a light interference can slow the closing
rate of a guard.
Instructions on service and maintenance:
- Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an
important safety factor.
- Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories
may be used. Otherwise the manufacturer will not
accept any warranty claims and cannot be held
liable.

the machine's rating plate.

4.2 Chip extraction

Danger
Substances that are harmful to
health must be taken up with an M-
suction device.
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inside diameter of hose connector 1 (Fig. 3) is 35
mm (1 3/8 in.).

4.3 Saw blade selection

Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 185 x 2.4 x 20 mm (7
9/32 x 3/32 x 51/64 in.), 16 teeth
For cuts along and across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 185 x 2.4 x 20 mm (7
9/32 x 3/32 x 51/64 in.), 24 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 185 x 2.4 x 20 mm (7
9/32 x 3/32 x 51/64 in.), 32 teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or
hard wood "fine cut":
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 185 x 2.4 x 20 mm (7
9/32 x 3/32 x 51/64 in.), 56 teeth
