Use Of The Guide Rail Extension; Cuts In Excess Of 3100 Mm (122 In.) Length; Parallel Cuts With Special Accessory Crossfeed Stop (2 Pieces Required); Transport And Storage - Mafell PSS 3100 SE Original Operating Instructions And Spare Parts List

5.10 Use of the guide rail extension

To execute longitudinal cuts with a length in excess of
1300 mm (51 in.) up to maximum 3100 mm (122 in.),
the guide rail extension that is supplied as a standard
is used.
Danger
Please note that both when
installing and dismantling the
extension, the entire machine must
be secured against tilting by means
of sufficiently long supports!
Carry out the installation as follows:

Remove the hexagon head socket wrench 3
(Fig. 2) from its retaining bracket on the
machine. Then use it to adjust both clamping
pieces 27 (Fig. 8) such that their opening is
pointing in the direction of the guide rail end.

Insert extension 28 with the two adaptors 29 into
the grooves on the guide rail intended for that
purpose up to the limit stop.

Tighten the two clamping pieces 27 clockwise
and return the hexagon head socket wrench 3
(Fig. 2) to its retaining bracket on the motor
casing.

5.11 Cuts in excess of 3100 mm (122 in.) length

If longitudinal cuts exceeding a length of 3100 mm
(122 in.) are to be carried out, the machine offers the
possibility to do so. Once the first part of the cut is
completed, you can reinsert the machine at the end of
the existing kerf. In this manner, you achieve an
offset-free extension of the cut.
To extend the cut proceed as follows:

After completion of the first cut, press the
refeeding stop 30 (Fig. 9) downwards. Insert the
machine with the refeeding stop at the end of
the kerf such that the saw unit too is still located
above the kerf.

Align the guide rail at the other end for a straight
extension of the cut. The crossfeed stop system
that is available as a special accessory is
particularly suited in this regard.

Execute the following cut.
Danger
Switch off the saw blade drive
before offsetting the machine for
the next cut !
5.12 Parallel cuts
crossfeed stop (2 pieces required)
The crossfeed stop that is available as special
accessory (cutting width stop) makes it possible to
execute a cut that runs parallel to the left workpiece
edge. You can also set the desired cutting width. The
limit stop consists of two rails with limit stops, which
can be adjusted between 250 mm (9 ¾ in.) and 1250
mm (49 in.).
Use the limit stops as follows:

Hook the two crossfeed stops 31 (Fig. 10) by
swivelling in from the top into the groove
available at the left edge of the guide rail.

Adjust the desired cutting width by releasing the
grip lever 32 and moving the sliding stop 33.
The cutting width is shown at indicator 34.
Afterwards reclamp the grip lever 32.

Position the entire machine on the workpiece
such that the two sliding stops rest against the
left edge of the workpiece. Then execute the
parallel cut as described in section 4.7.
To guarantee an accurate parallel
cut, position the two crossfeed
stops with a sufficient clearance,
but best such that both can be set
from the operator's location.

Transport and storage

6.1 Transport

Always take off the extension for
transport!
The bracket handle 35 is intended for transports
across longer distances (Fig. 11). For that purpose it
must be set to the position on the guide rail that
corresponds to the system's centre of gravity.
Proceed as follows to carry out the setting:
