5.9 Sawing with the parallel guide fence

The parallel guide fence (C) is used for sawing in parallel to an existing edge.
Alternatively, you can guide the machine along a guide rail or a wooden ledge fixed on the workpiece.
The guide fence can be moved on the right (motor side) or left (in front of the saw blade) side of the machine.
The possible adjustable distance is 225 to 320 mm [8.9 to 12.6 in] on the right side and 45 mm to 140 mm [1.8
to 5.5 in] on the left side.
Use the following procedure to adjust the
parallel guide fence:
1. Loosen the wing screws (7).
2. Adjust the parallel guide fence (C).
3. Tighten the wing screws (7).
The parallel guide fence is adjusted.

In addition, the parallel guide fence can also be used as a double support for a better
guidance of the hand-held circular saw. Simply turn it over (the guide surface for the
workpiece edge points upwards).
Turning over the parallel guide fence is possible on both sides.
Use the following procedure to turn over one
side of the parallel guide fence:
1. Press and hold the switch (19) on the
respective side.
2. Tilt the guide fence bar sideways through 90°.
✓ The side of the parallel guide fence is
turned over.

Service and maintenance

MAFELL machines are of a low-maintenance design.
The installed ball bearings are lubricated for life. After a longer period of operation, MAFELL recommends that
the machine be handed over to an authorized MAFELL service workshop for inspection.

6.1 Storage

Clean the machine thoroughly if you will not use it for quite some time. Spray bare metal parts with a rust
inhibitor.
