5.9 Setting for mitre cuts
Release the limit stop 21 (Fig. 1) and adjust the
angle according to the scale on the guide rail.
Retighten the limit stop.
Apply the machine to the workpiece to be
processed with the two stop bolts on the bottom
side of the guide rail and execute the cut by
pushing the machine forward.
After the cut, return the saw to its starting
position by retracting it.
6 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.

Tension in the workpiece
Poor machine guidance
Use parallel guide fence
Uneven workpiece surface
Straighten the surface
Burn marks on the cut surfaces
The saw blade used is unsuitable for
the task or blunt
Replace saw blade
Chip ejection blocked
