Riving Knife/Splitter; Application As Pull-Push Saw; Application As Circular Saw Bench - Mafell ERIKA 60 Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones Original


Insert the flange 24 onto the two flats and
tighten the hexagon socket head cap screw 23
by turning it counterclockwise with the
hexagon head socket wrench. Release the
locking button.

Check whether the saw blade runs smoothly
when turning by hand.

If required, adjust the riving knife/splitter
correctly (see chapter 4.6).

Remove the hexagon head socket wrench 22
and insert into the retaining bracket.

Close the cover 28 by swinging it forward and
locking it in place.

Push the table insert underneath the rear table
edge and then push it downward at the front
until it engages against the spring.

Fit the upper saw guard 1 (Fig. 12 - page 4) with
depressed wing bolt horizontally onto the riving
knife/splitter and ensure that the guide piece of
the wing bolt has firmly engaged in the drill hole
on the riving knife/splitter when you release the
wing bolt. Retighten the wing bolt 2.

4.7 Riving knife/splitter

Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
During longitudinal cutting, the riving knife/splitter
prevents that the kerf closes behind the saw blade,
resulting in a backlash of the workpiece.
However, this function is only guaranteed if the riving
knife/splitter is set correctly, i.e. if its distance to the
tooth rim of the saw blade across the entire cutting
depth is max. 5 mm (see Fig. 11) and its thickness
ranges between the kerf width and the body thickness
of the saw blade used. The provided riving
knife/splitter matches the carbide tipped saw blades
specified in Section 4.4.
Proceed as follows, if it is necessary to adjust the
riving knife/splitter:

Set the saw blade to the maximum cutting depth
(see chapter 5.4).

Remove the upper saw guard (see chapter 4.5).

Reach through the front handle recess 10 (Fig.
10 – page 4) and pull the spring catch 20
forward. Lift the table insert 17, pull it forward
and remove it.

Push the riving knife/splitter with its retaining
bracket downward into the latching position for
concealed cuts.

Release the two hexagon socket head cap
screws 27 (Fig. 11 - page 4) and adjust the
riving knife/splitter 3 according to Fig. 11 with
regard to its distance to the tooth rim and its
height.

Tighten the hexagon socket head cap screws
27.

Reattach the table insert and install the upper
saw guard (see chapter 4.5).
The kerf guide can be engaged in two positions
without requiring tools:
- upper position with saw guard - for normal cuts
- lower position without saw guard - for covered cuts
In order to attain the respective position just pull the
kerf guide upwards and forward or press it down and
to the rear.

4.8 Application as pull-push saw

The special advantage when using the saw as pull-
push saw is the trouble-free and accurate separating
of fixed workpieces up to max. 215 mm (8 7/16 in.)
cutting length, e.g. panels. Apply the workpiece
against the stop plate rail 6 (Fig. 1 - page 3) of the
universal stop 7. Push the handwheel 8 downwards
and pull the saw unit with the handwheel forward.
After completing the cutting procedure the saw unit
runs back to the home position and is stopped there
automatically.

4.9 Application as circular saw bench

Slitting of larger workpieces is carried out with the
circular saw bench function. For this purpose, position
the sawing unit in the foreseen table position. To do
so, push the handwheel 8 (Fig. 3 - page 3)
downwards and pull the saw unit forward until the
circular recess in the pull rod 43 becomes visible.
Lock the saw unit in this position by pushing the slide
bar 42 upwards on the side.
At the same time, use the universal stop 7 (Fig. 2 –
page 3) as parallel stop. In the process, you can
insert the stop plate rail 6 depending on the
-32-
