Once you have unfastened the wing screws you
can adjust the cutting width 19 (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 plunge cut saw. Now the machine
can be guided along a lath that is fastened on the
workpiece.

Scoring with the guide rail (special
accessories)
In case of panel materials you can
achieve a clean cut if you score.
Use a suitable saw blade (see
Chapter 4.3).
To avoid the surface from tearing out, proceed as
follows:
•
Fasten the guide rail on the workpiece.
•
Tilt the locking lever 20 (Fig. 2) clockwise up to
the limit stop. The scoring depth is now set to
approx. 3 mm.
•
Place the machine with the guide groove onto
the guide rail.
•
Set the cutting depth - take into account the
guide rail thickness (see Chapter 5.3).
•
Score the board. Tilt the locking lever 20 (Fig. 2)
counter clockwise up to the limit stop.
•
Plunge to the preset cutting depth and saw the
full board thickness.
5.9
Working with the diamond saw blade in fibre
cement board (special accessories)
Proceed as follows:
•
Use a suitable saw blade (see Chapter 4.3).
•
Exchange the saw blade (see Chapter 4.4).
The diamond saw blade was
developed for fibre cement board.
The diamond-fitted teeth are more
delicate than the teeth of the HM
saw blade. This is why you are
working with a guide rail.
5.10
Working with guide rails
•
To achieve more accurate guidance, set the
guide clearance with the two setting wheels 21
(Fig.2 and 4).
The plunge cut saw can be used to work with the
guide rails that are available as special accessories.
In addition, it is possible to use some rails that are
freely available on the market.
•
To do so, unscrew the screws and remove the
insert 24 (Fig.2).

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
panels with a rust inhibitor.

Troubleshooting
Danger
Determining the causes for existing defects and eliminating these always
requires increased attention and caution. Pull the mains plug beforehand!
Some of the most frequent defects and their causes are listed in the following chart. In case of other defects, contact your
dealer or the MAFELL customer service.
