In addition, it is possible to turn the guide fence plate
20 (Fig. 2) of the parallel guide fence by 90°. With
that it is possible to use the guide fence surface both
above and below the base plate. If a straight
workpiece edge is already available and if a parallel
cut is to be made to this, the guide fence plate 20 is
turned down.
If there is no straight workpiece edge, the guide fence
plate is turned up to carry out a straight cut.
Now the machine can be guided either along a lathe
fastened on the workpiece or along the guide rail that
is available as optional accessory.

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 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.
Elimination
Check power supply
Replace fuse
Take the machine to a MAFELL
customer service shop
Check mains back-up fuses
Reduce feed speed
Reduce feed speed
Release the switch immediately.
Remove the machine from the
workpiece and replace the saw
blade
Use parallel guide fence
Straighten the surface
Replace saw blade
Connect to an external exhaustion,
e.g. portable dust extractor
