Speed Selection; Overload Protection; Cutting Depth Adjustment; Setting For Bevel Cuts - Mafell ERIKA70Ec Mode D'emploi

5.3 Speed selection

In order to achieve perfect cutting quality according to
worked material, the saw blade speed can be
steplessly selected between 2100 – 4200 rpm. Select
the speed with the setting wheel arranged below the
main switch.
Please note that ideal cutting quality not only
depends on the speed but also on the saw blade. For
information on suitable saw blades see Section 4.4.

5.4 Overload protection

Triggering of the motor protection is
always a sign for motor overload,
whereby the cause must be
determined and eliminated.
The speed is automatically reduced when the motor
is overloaded respectively the motor is automatically
shut down in the case of power failure. You can turn
the motor on again after the power supply has been
resumed.

5.5 Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth can be continuously adjusted from
0 to 72 mm (0 to 2 3/4 in.) by turning the handwheel
17 (Fig. 8 - page 4). Turning clockwise increases the
cutting depth; turning anticlockwise decreases the
cutting depth.
In order to achieve good cutting quality, the adjusted
cutting depth of the saw blade should be approx. 5
mm (3/16 in.) more than the processed material
thickness.
Depending on the riving knife/splitter position in the
two latching positions, the measuring scale 38 (Fig. 7
- page 4) that is mounted on the riving knife/splitter
and standing perpendicular to the table surface can
be used as aid for setting a specific cutting depth.
This however only applies to saw blades with ø 225
mm (8 7/8 in.).
If an accurate adjustment of the cutting depth is
necessary, e.g. when grooving or chiselling always
start from below in order to compensate possible
play.

5.6 Setting for bevel cuts

Danger
Make sure before inclining with a
running saw blade that neither the
multi-function stop nor workpieces
are in the swivel range of the saw
blade.
For angles up to 45°, first release the locking lever 19
(Fig. 9 - page 4) by turning counterclockwise. Swivel
the saw unit by turning the handle 20. The cutting
angle is indicated on the angle scale 21 on indicator
22. Tighten the locking lever 19 again.
Actuating the turning knob 23 enables tilting the saw
unit by 3° over both end positions 0° and 45°. The
turning knob returns automatically to the home
position when swivelling back so that the 0° - and/or
45° position is precisely reached.
5.7 Multi-function stop (scope of delivery Erika
85 Ec)
Please infer the description from the enclosed
assembly instructions and spare parts list.
5.8 Universal stop (scope of delivery Erika 70
Ec)
The complete universal stop consists of the retaining
bracket 15 (Fig. 8 - page 4) and the adjustable stop
plate rail 14 in the retaining bracket. You can clamp it
firmly according to requirements to at all sides of the
table in the dovetail guides using the wing bolts
located on the underside of the rod holder 27.
