Sawing With Parallel Guide Fence; Scoring With The Guide Rail (Special Accessories); Working With The Diamond Saw Blade In Fibre Cement Board (Special Accessories); Working With Guide Rails - Mafell MT 55 cc Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions


Switch on the plunge cut saw (see Chapter 5.2).
Plunge to the set cutting depth and slide the
machine evenly forward in the direction of the
cut.

When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the gearshift lever 8 (Fig. 4). Tilt the
saw unit back into the top locked position.

5.7 Sawing with parallel guide fence

When making parallel cuts, the parallel guide fence
18 (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. 140 mm (5 ½ in.)
and on the left-hand side to approx. 295 mm (11 5/8
in.).

Once you have unfastened the wing screws you
can adjust the cutting width 19 (Fig. 2) by
moving the guide fence accordingly and
afterwards retightening the wing screws.
In addition, by simply turning it around (guide face for
the workpiece edge points upwards), the parallel stop
can also be used as double support to improve
guidance of the plunge cut saw. Now the machine
can be guided along a lath that is fastened on the
workpiece.
5.8 Scoring with
accessories)
In case of panel materials you can
achieve a clean cut if you score.
Use a suitable saw blade (see
Chapter 4.3).
To avoid the surface from tearing out, proceed as
follows:

Fasten the guide rail on the workpiece.

Tilt the locking lever 20 (Fig. 2) clockwise up to
the limit stop. The scoring depth is now set to
approx. 3 mm (1/8 in.).

Place the machine with the guide groove onto
the guide rail.
the guide rail (special

Set the cutting depth - take into account the
guide rail thickness (see Chapter 5.3).

Score the board. Tilt the locking lever 20 (Fig. 2)
counter clockwise up to the limit stop.

Plunge to the preset cutting depth and saw the
full board thickness.
5.9 Working with the diamond saw blade in fibre
cement board (special accessories)
Proceed as follows:

Use a suitable saw blade (see Chapter 4.3).

Exchange the saw blade (see Chapter 4.4).
The diamond saw blade was
developed for fibre cement board.
The diamond-fitted teeth are more
delicate than the teeth of the HM
saw blade. This is why you are
working with a guide rail.

5.10 Working with guide rails


To achieve more accurate guidance, set the
guide clearance with the two setting wheels 21
(Fig.2 and 4).
The plunge cut saw can be used to work with the
guide rails that are available as special accessories.
In addition, it is possible to use some rails that are
freely available on the market.

To do so, unscrew the screws and remove the
insert 24 (Fig.2).
