Overload Protection; Cutting Depth Adjustment; Plunge Cuts - Mafell ERIKA 70 Traduction De La Notice D'emploi Originale

Please note that ideal cutting quality not only
depends on the speed but also on the saw blade and
saw blade sharpness. For information on suitable saw
blades, see chapter 4.4.

5.5 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.

5.6 Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth can be continuously adjusted from
0 to 72 mm (0 to 2 3/4 in.) - Erika 85: 0 to 85 mm (0 to
3 11/32 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.) - Erika 85: ø 250 mm (9 27/32 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.

5.7 Plunge cuts

Danger
Risk of backlash during plunge
cuts! Before the plunge cut, place
the part against the front edge of a
fixed stop, if possible. During the
plunge cut, press the part firmly
against the bench surface. As you
press, pay attention to the danger
zone caused by the emerging saw
blade.
Remove the upper saw guard, see chapter 4.1.
Remove the riving knife/splitter, see chapter 4.5.
Turn the saw blade down with the hand wheel until it
has disappeared under the bench top.
The plunge cut can be made at infinitely variable
cutting depths (0 to 85 mm) by turning the hand
wheel 17 (Fig. 8 - page 4) (Caution: the saw blade
emerges from the workpiece in a slight arc towards
the front). Turning clockwise increases the cutting
depth; turning anticlockwise decreases the cutting
depth.
