Setting / Adjustment; Installation / Transport; Mains Connection; Chip Extraction - Mafell PSS 3100 SE Original Operating Instructions And Spare Parts List

- Do not switch off the machine by pulling the plug if
the ON switch is depressed.
- Only remove the system from the workpiece once
the saw blade has come to a standstill and the saw
unit has returned to its home position.
- A diamond saw blade is necessary for cutting fibre
cement board.
Instructions on service and maintenance:
- Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an

Setting / Adjustment

4.1 Installation / transport

The board sawing system PSS 3100 SE is delivered
inside a transport carton. You should first of all
examine the system for possible transport damages.
Damage to the packing material may already be
indicative of an improper transport. Immediately
complain to your machine dealer about any transport
damages identified.
Check the following parts for a correct and tight seat:
- Saw blade
- Riving knife / splitter
- Connection tube (saw guard)

4.2 Mains connection

Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.
The board sawing system PSS 3100 SE is equipped
with protective earthing according to Class I - EN
60745 and may therefore only be connected to socket
outlets with protective earth conductor.

4.3 Chip extraction

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 1 (Fig. 1) is
35 mm (1 3/8 in.).
Operation without extraction is basically not
advisable. If no external dust extractor is available
during use outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated
rooms, you must remove the connection tube 10 (Fig.
4) between saw unit and chips guide duct to avoid
clogging the chips guide duct.
In Germany, certified dust extractors are required for
the extraction of wood dusts. Air values that reliably
fall below the air limit value of (2 mg/m³) can only be
guaranteed if the board sawing system is connected
to a certified dust extractor (e.g. industrial vacuum
cleaner or combination device).
This requires the following operating method:
Execution of separating cuts on the pile of boards and
in the process scoring the board underneath at least
1 mm.
With this operating method, the system has received
the FPH mark of conformity "Wood dust certified".

4.4 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:
Cutting of solid wood:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm (6 1/4
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm), 16 teeth
Cutting of solid wood boards, chip boards,
cement-bonded chip boards, multiplex boards:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm (6 1/4
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm), 24 teeth
Cutting of solid wood boards, chip boards,
multiplex boards, HDF-, MDF- and OSB-boards,
gypsum fibre boards:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm (6 1/4
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm), 32 teeth
Cutting of chip boards, HDF-, MDF-, and OSB-
boards, coated boards, OSB, HP-laminate:
- TCT circular saw blade Ø 160 x 1.8 x 20 mm (6 1/4
x 5/64 in. x 20 mm), 56 teeth
For fibre cement boards, the diamond saw blade
- Ø 160 x 3.0 x 20 mm (6 ¼ x 1/8 in. x 20mm), 4
teeth is suitable
