Chip Extraction; Saw Blade Selection; Saw Blade Change; Riving Knife/Splitter - Mafell K 85 Ec Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

4.2 Chip extraction

Danger
Substances that are harmful to
health must be taken up with an M-
suction device.
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20 m/s
(65.6 ft / sec.).
The internal diameter of hose connector 3 (Fig. 1) is 35
mm ( 1 3/8 in.).

4.3 Saw blade selection

Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and select
a tool from the following list according to material and
application:
For cuts along and across the grain in soft or hard
wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 237 x 2.5 x 30 mm, 24
teeth
For cuts especially along the grain in soft or hard
wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 237 x 2.5 x 30 mm, 12
teeth
For cuts especially across the grain in soft or hard
wood:
- Circular saw blade carbide Ø 237 x 2.5 x 30 mm, 56
teeth

4.4 Saw blade change

Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
•
Press the push-button 2 (Fig. 2) and pull the
locking lever 19 upwards. Now the saw shaft is
locked in position and the gearshift lever locked.
You can lock the retractable saw guard in an
open position with the aid of the pre-feed lever 1
(Fig. 2) or manually to make the tool change
easier.
•
Using the Allen key 5 (bracket Fig. 2), release the
flange screw 18 (Fig. 3) counter clockwise. Now
remove both the screw and the front clamping
flange 12.
•
You can now remove the saw blade.
•
The clamping flanges must be free of adhering
parts.
•
Pay attention to the sense of rotation when
inserting the saw blade.
•
Afterwards, push on the clamping flange, apply
the flange screw and tighten it by turning it
clockwise.
•
Close the retractable saw guard. To do so, press
the locking lever 19 (Fig. 2) downwards.

4.5 Riving knife/splitter

The riving knife / splitter 15 (Fig. 3) prevents the saw
blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The
correct distance to the saw blade is shown in (Fig. 4).
•
For adjustment purposes, release the screw 4
(Fig. 3) with the Allen key 5 that is included in the
supply (Fig. 2)
•
Adjust the riving knife/splitter by moving it in its
longitudinal groove and retighten the screw
afterwards.

4.6 Laying the connection cable

How to lay the cable is shown in Fig. 5 by way of
example.
Lead the connecting cable away from the machine in
the direction of the cable sleeve. Always keep the
connecting cable as far away as possible from the
working tool. For support, use the Velcro fastener on
the extraction connection.

Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Danger
While working, pay attention to how
the connecting cable is laid. A
poorly laid connecting cable can
impair safety functions and working
functions and come into contact
with the tool.
