Use According To Intended Purpose - Mafell KSP 65 F Manual De Instrucciones

Devices for safe guiding:
³
The large base plate guarantees safe rest of the
machine on the workpiece. Two ergonomically
arranged handles are provided for guiding during
the sawing operation. Thanks to the parallel guide
fence, which can be used on both sides of the
cutting plane, it is possible to guide the machine
both along the edge of a workpiece and along a
guide rail placed on the workpiece.
The scoring edges which are well visible from
both sides of the machine also contribute to safe
guiding.
Protection against kickback of the workpiece:
³
In order to prevent a possible kickback of the
workpiece in the event of tilting and to assist in
guiding the machine during the advance motion,
the portable circular saw is provided with a riv-
ing knife / splitter. As regards its thickness, this
riving knife / splitter is adapted to the saw blade
supplied and can be positioned near the saw
blade within the limits specified in the technical
data.
Switching equipment and brake:
³
The lock-off button provided in the handle pre-
vents unintentional switching on. The machine
can only be operated as long as the switch trig-
ger, which is also to be found in the handle, is
pressed down. As soon as this switch trigger is
released, the machine is automatically discon-
nected and the built-in mechanical brake is acti-
vated. Thus the deceleration time of the saw
blade is reduced to approx. 5 seconds.
Ergonomics:
³
Essential ergonomic principles taken into con-
sideration for the design of the machine:
low weight compared to the high stability
±
and high power,
handle located in the machine's center of
±
gravity,
only one service tool for all functions
±
arranged in a holding device on the
machine.
Chip removal:
³
Chips are routed via a built-in chip duct to the
attachable extractor connection. This means the
machine can be connected to an external
extractor unit, such as a mobile dust extractor.
In case of operation without dust extraction, the
streamlined upper saw guard ensures that the
chips are blown out without hitting the operator.
Electric safety:
³
The electric equipment of the machine corres-
ponds to the European standard EN 60745-1
and is interference-proof against electromag-
netic fields.
The built-in universal motor is radio and TV
interference suppressed.
The safety devices described in this
manual are essential prerequisites
of safe machine operation. They
must not be removed or put out of
action.

Use according to intended purpose

The MAFELL portable circular saw KSP 65 F is
intended exclusively for ripping and cross cutting
solid timber and sheet materials such as particle
boards, core-boards and Mdf-boards with a maxi-
mum thickness of 65 mm (2 9/16 in.) using the circu-
lar saw blades permitted.
The diameter of the saw blades used must lie within
the following range:
‡
minimum- 180 mm (7 5/64 in.),
‡
maximum- 190 mm (7 31/64 in.).
The maximum basic thickness of the saw blade
body must not exceed 2.0 mm (1/16 in.).
Any use beyond this scope is considered as failing
to comply with the intended purpose. The manufac-
turer is not liable for any damage caused as a result
of this; the risk is borne solely by the user.
The use of saw blades made of high-speed steel
(HSS) and of abrasive disks is not permitted.
The machine is not suitable for operation in the rain
outdoors or in areas subject to explosion hazards.
Use according to intended purpose also includes
compliance with the operating, maintenance and
repair conditions specified by MAFELL, and adher-
ence to the safety instructions contained in the oper-
ating manual.
The portable circular saw KSP 65 F may only be
used, set up and serviced by persons over 18 years
of age who are familiar with the machine and have
been instructed as to the dangers involved. Repair
work must be carried out by authorized MAFELL
dealers or a MAFELL customer service station.
The safety regulations applicable in the country of
use, as well as all other generally accepted rules on
safety and occupational medicine, must be
observed.
