Plunge Cuts; Sawing With Parallel Guide Fence; Service And Maintenance - Mafell KSP 65 F Manual De Instrucciones

4.4 Adjusting for bevel cuts
For making bevel cuts, the angle can be
set from 0 to 60°.
• To adjust the saw assembly for bevel cuts, put the
machine in its starting position and support it suit-
ably in order to enable the saw assembly to be
tilted.
• Then undo the wing screw 10 (Fig. 2) and set the
assembly to the desired angle which is displayed
on the tilting segment.
• Then retighten wing screw 10.

Plunge cuts

Risk of kick-back with plunge cuts!
Before inserting, the machine must
be aliged with the rear edge of the
base plate to a stop securely
attached to the workpiece.
During insertion, hold the machine
tight on the handle and push for-
wards slightly!
• Firstly, release the locking lever 11 (Fig. 2).
• Move plunge lever 6 to the position marked „-2"
on the scale 7.
• Open the rectractable saw guard completely by
means of the integrated handle 14 (Fig. 3), so
that the machine can be placed on the workpiece.
The saw blade now rotates freely above the mate-
rial and can be aligned with the marking.
• Press down plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) to lower the saw
blade into the workpiece vertically. Read off the cut-
ting depth on scale 7. The riving knife / splitter swings
up and away when the blade enters the workpiece.
As soon as the riving knife is free behind the saw
blade during the forward motion of the machine, the
riving knife reverts to its normal position.
4.6 Sawing to markings
It is very important to observe the
instructions with regard to sawing
contained in the chapter „Safety
instructions"!
The base plate has tracing edges 17 (Fig. 3) both
for straight cuts and for 30°, 45° and 60° bevel cuts.
These tracing edges correspond to the inside of the
saw blade. For bevel cuts the marking can be seen
through the opening on the left side of the upper saw
guard (arrow, Fig. 2).
• For sawing, hold the machine by the two handles and
place the front part of the base plate on the workpiece.
• Switch on portable circular saw (see chapter 4.2)
and push the machine steadily forwards in the
direction of the cut.
• After completion of the cut, switch off the saw imme-
diately by releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 1).
4.7

Sawing with parallel guide fence

It is very important to observe the
instructions with regard to sawing
contained in the chapter „Safety
instructions"!
The parallel guide fence 4 (Fig. 1) is used when sawing
parallel to an existing edge and it can be attached to the
left or right of the machine. The cutting width range is
about 190 mm (7 1/2 in.) on the right side and about
340 mm (13 3/8 in.) on the left side.
• To adjust the cutting width, release wing screws 9
(Fig. 2) and move the fence accordingly.
Retighten wing screws.
The parallel guide fence can also be used as an
extended support, providing improved guidance of
the portable saw. To do so, simply turn it over (guide
surface for the workpiece edge faces up).
• Now the machine can be guided along on either a
cross bar fastened onto the workpiece or on a
guide rail available as a special accessory.

Service and maintenance

Pull out the mains plug before start-
ing on any maintenance work!
MAFELL machines are designed to be
low in maintenance. The ball bearings
used are greased for life. After a pro-
