If longer workpieces are to be processed, it is
reasonable to use the supplementary support plate
that is available as special accessory to prevent the
workpiece from tilting. With the stop rail set on high,
this plate is pushed into the bottom T-groove of the
stop rail together with the slide block and is
afterwards tightened with the wing bolt.

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 Examination of the safety devices

The safety of the machine depends primarily on the
proper functioning of the provided safety devices. It is
therefore important that these devices are examined
regularly for correct condition. This comprises in

Mains failure
particular the riving knife/splitter, the upper saw guard
and the lower saw guard.
Furthermore, the following must be checked every
two weeks:
- automatic return of the saw unit to the home
position when used as a pull-push saw (see
chapter 4.7)
- automatic locking of the saw unit in the home
position after returning
- trouble-free movement of the saw guard wings
from the max. cutting height to the table top.
- mains cable for damage

6.2 Machine care

The sliding and rolling parts must be occasionally
cleaned of chips and dust with a suitable vacuum
cleaner. Occasional spraying with a commercially
available lubricant (e.g. Caramba) facilitates sliding of
the parts.
In order to avoid too large a temperature rise of the
motor check occasionally that there is no dust deposit
on its surface.

6.3 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.
