Sawing Along Markings; Sawing With The Parallel Guide Fence - Mafell K55 18M bl Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

5.8 Sawing along markings

The base plate is equipped with a movable tracing
pointer, which automatically adjusts itself during bevel
cuts. This tracing edge (19) corresponds to the inside
(side facing the motor) of the saw blade.
For bevel cuts, the marking can be seen through the
opening at the inside of the upper guard (on the left in
cutting direction).
Use the following procedure to saw along markings:
1. Hold the machine by the handles and position it such that the front part of the base plate is on the
workpiece.
2. Position the tracing edge (19) at the marking on the workpiece.
3. Switch on the machine.
4. Ensure that the tracing edge (19) and the front edge of the saw blade are guided along the marking.
5. Push the machine steadily forward in the cutting direction.
6. Switch off the machine at the end of the cut.

5.9 Sawing with the parallel guide fence

The parallel guide fence (C) is used for sawing in parallel to an existing edge. The guide fence can be mounted
on the right (motor side) or the left (tool side) side of the machine. The possible adjustable distance is 163 to
300 mm [6.42 - 11.81 in] on the right side and 33 mm to 130 mm [1.30 - 5.12 in] on the left side. In the range of
163 to 220 mm [6.42 - 8.66 in], the machine must be moved upwards by approx. 10 mm [0.4 in] so that the
guide fence can be inserted underneath the motor housing.
The selected width is shown at the scales on the guide bars. The edges with the red markings on the base
plates are used as pointers.

Warning
Risk of injury from defective guard
There is a risk that the parallel guide fence interferes with the operation of
the lower guard if it is used below the minimum dimensions. It is possible
that the saw blade is then freely accessible.
Use the parallel guide only inside the permissible cutting ranges. To
➢
ensure this, take note of the scales on the guide bars.
