Setting The Parallel Stop; Setting For Angle Cuts (Bevel And Jack Rafter Cuts); Installing The Dust Extraction Adapter - Mafell ZSX Ec Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

4.5 Setting the parallel stop

The parallel stop 7 (Fig. 1) is used to execute parallel
cuts along the outside edge of the workpiece from a
cutting width of 175 mm (6 57/64 in.). For this
purpose, the narrow edge of the stop must point
downwards.
The stop can be used on both sides of the machine.
To adjust the cutting width or to use it on the other
side of the machine, the two wing screws 8 (Fig. 1)
are unfastened, the parallel stop is moved
accordingly and then the wing screws are retightened
well.
The base plate is equipped with reading edges at all
four slide-in positions on which the markings applied
to the guide rods of the parallel stop can be read off.
In this manner, the parallel stop can be set exactly
parallel to the chain set.
When using the parallel stop on the left-hand side of
the machine, the cutting width is the direct
measurement between the guide surface of the limit
stop and the tracing edge 26 (Fig. 6). This
measurement is the same for all cutting angles! If the
parallel stop is used on the right-hand side of the
machine, the chain width must still be deducted from
this measure (6.8 mm for a vertical cut). However, in
this case it is recommended to determine the correct
setting by executing a trial cut. If the right-hand side
of the chain is used to saw at the marking, tracing
edges 27 graduated according to cutting angle apply
(Fig. 6).
4.6 Setting for angle cuts (bevel and jack rafter
cuts)
Danger!
Risk of injury from ejected saw
cuttings
Saw cuttings can be hurled against
the base plate or in the direction of
the sawing process. There is risk of
injury! Before starting to saw, pay
attention that there are no persons
or objects in the surroundings of
the saw. Remove any saw cuttings
slipping off. Switch off the machine
to do so. Wait until the saw chain is
idle.
In order to carry out bevel cuts and jack rafter cuts,
the chain guide rail can be swivelled in both directions
up to 60°. To do so, the machine is placed onto a
corresponding support such that the chain guide rail
is free moving. After unfastening handle 16 (Fig. 1)
and deactivating locking lever by pulling and twisting
handle 9, the machine can be swivelled. The cutting
angle can be read of the angle scale 17.
If the locking lever is activated, this facilitates setting
the 0° and 45°- positions.
Depending on the set cutting angle, the maximum
cutting depths amount to:
260 HM
- at 60° 130
(0.098 in.)
- at 45° 184
(0.098 in.)
- at 30° 225
(0.098 in.)
- at 15° 251
(0.098 in.)
After setting the cutting angle, retighten handle 16.

4.7 Installing the dust extraction adapter

The ZSX-AA dust extraction adapter is installed
without tools.
•
Unscrew the knurled screw 31 (Fig. 12) of the
ZSX-AA dust extraction adapter completely to
the stop.
•
When fitting the ZSX-AA, first of all secure it on
the existing screw of the ZSX discharge flap 29.
•
Place the ZSX-AA completely onto the machine.
•
Now tighten the knurled screw 31 hand-tight.
The ZSX-AA dust extraction adapter can only be
used in conjunction with the dust extraction hose Ø49
mm (order No. 093682) and dust extractor S 35 M
(Order No. 919701) or high-capacity extractor S200
(Order No. 206869).
