Switching On And Off; Cutting Depth Adjustment; Setting For Bevel Cuts; Plunge Cuts - Mafell Flexistem KSP 40 Manual De Instrucciones

5.2 Switching on and off

•
Switching on: First press the switch-on lock 1
(Fig. 1) and then press the switch trigger 2.
•
Switching off: To switch off, release the switch
trigger.

5.3 Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth is continuously variable between 0
and 42 mm (0 to 1 21/32 in.).
Proceed as follows:
•
Release the clamping lever 11 (Fig. 2).
•
Adjust the cutting depth using the plunge lever
6.
•
You can read the value off the scale 2 (Fig. 5) at
the stationary guard. The bevelled edge 1 of the
lever serves as indicator.
•
Retighten the clamping lever.
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).
•
Reset the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2).
•
Open the retractable saw guard with the lever
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 2 (Fig. 5). 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 with FLEXI rail

Danger
Support rail is pretensioned and
can snap open. There is danger of
injury. Keep a safe and tight hold
on it during opening and closing.
Initial operation
The splinter guard 4 (Fig. 4) needs to be trimmed
before initial operation:
•
Place the FLEXI rail on a flat support.
•
Set cutting depth to approx. 3 mm and angle
scale to 0°.
•
Turn on portable circular saw and push evenly
in the direction of the cut.
The resulting cut edge on the splinter guard serves as
tracing edge for straight cuts and bevel cuts.
•
Place the FLEXI rail onto the workpiece, butt
against the workpiece and align with the tracing
edge.
So as to fix the FLEXI rail, tighten the two clamping
claws 1 (Fig. 6) with the screw clamps.
