Sawing According To Tracings; Sawing Shadow Gaps; Sawing With Parallel Guide Fence; Service And Maintenance - Mafell Flexistem KSP 40 Manual De Instrucciones

•
Set the cutting depth and cutting angle on the
machine.
•
Place machine at the start of the FLEXI rail; the
guide elements 1 (Fig.4) of the rail must engage
in the base plate groove.
•
Turn on machine and push evenly in the
direction of the cut.
Do not clean the FLEXI rail with
solvents. Non-skid coating may get
damaged.

5.7 Sawing according to tracings

The base plate has a tracing edge 10 (Fig. 3) both for
straight cuts and for bevel cuts. This tracing edge
corresponds 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.
•
Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.
•
Switch on the portable circular saw 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)

5.8 Sawing shadow gaps

The minimum shadow gap width is:
- if used without parallel stop 12 mm
- if used with parallel stop 14 mm (at cutting depth of
0 - 32 mm)
- if used with parallel stop 18 mm (at cutting depth of
32 - 42 mm)
•
Set the required cutting depth.
•
Retract the retractable saw guard with the lever
2 (Fig. 3) and set the machine onto the first
fitted workpiece.
•
Switch on the portable circular saw and push
the machine evenly in the direction of the cut. In
addition, use the extraction device.

5.9 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. 65 mm ( 2 9/16 in. )
and on the left-hand side to approx. 250 mm ( 9 27/32
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.
Additionally, the parallel limit stop can also be used
as double support to improve machine guidance by
simply turning it around (guide face for the workpiece
edge is pointing upwards). Now the machine can be
guided along a lath 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.
