band returns to its initial position.

5.5 Conversion of the Z 5 Ec to a two-man saw

In order for two people to use the Z 5 Ec, it must be
equipped with a third handle! First turn both handles 7

remove it from the slot. From the accessories
included, put the handle verp. 507 into the slot and
tighten it.

Service and maintenance

Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
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.
The machine must be regularly cleaned off deposited
dust. The ventilation openings on the motor should be
cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
The band saw rollers on the machine should be
deresinified at regular intervals.

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
Switch machine off and on again
Replace saw band
Connect to an external extraction,
e.g. portable dust extractor
