Switching On And Off; Cutting Of Straight Tenons - Mafell ZAF 200/Vario Notice D'emploi

0: Machine is not ready for operation, i. e. no
drives can be switched on.
1: Setting up: The various feed motions of the
cutting assembly can be checked by means
of the 4 push-buttons (10) in order to con-
trol the set travel distances. Motion only
takes place as long as the respective push-
button is pressed down. The starting of the
cutting tool drive is locked.
2: Cutting tenons: All 4 feed motions are
switched on.
3: Cutting lap joints: Horizontal feed is switched
on only.
8. Push-button to start the cutting process:
Depending on the selected mode of operation
(te-non or lap joint cutting), the cutting proce-
dure will be carried out automatically and the
cutting tool drive will be switched off after hav-
ing returned to initial position. This push-button
is not functioning when the mode select switch
is set to position "0" or "1".
9. Emergency off button: To stop the cutting
process and all movements in case of danger.
10. Push-button to move the cutting assembly dur-
ing setting up: The 4 feed motions "FORWARD
(VOR) - BACKWARD (ZURÜCK) - UP (AUF) -
DOWN (AB)" are each started by means of a
push-button. The selected motion only takes
place as long as the push-button is pressed
down.

3.3 Switching on and off

Start the cutting process (tenon or lap
joint cutting) only when a clamped work-
piece is sitting on the machine and the
slides at the feed opening (no. 24, 25 - ill. 14) are
positioned close to the workpiece.
To switch on, set the main switch to position "1"
and the mode select switch to the required mode
of operation (tenon or lap joint cutting). The com-
plete cutting process will then be started by pres-
sing the start push-button. When the cutting proc-
ess is finished, the cutting assembly returns to
initial position and will be stopped automatically
whereas the deceleration time will be reduced to
less than 5 seconds by means of the automatic
brake. Thus, the machine switches off automatically.
The emergency off button must only be used to stop
the machine immediately in case of emergency.

3.4 Cutting of straight tenons

Before cutting, a tenon has to be roughly cut to size
on the workpiece.
When cutting straight tenons, note that pointer
(no. 13 - ill. 9) has to indicate the value "0" on scale
(no. 14) of the segment for rotating. If this is not the
case, loosen handle lever (no. 15) in order to rotate
the complete cutting assembly including the hous-
ing to this value. After rotating, tighten the handle
lever.
To set the tenon dimension and to start cutting pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Set mode select switch (no. 7 - ill. 5) to position
"1" and open the cover of the machine housing.
2. Check or set length of tenon "t" (see ill. 6) on
the cutting tool (see section 4.1 tool change).
3. Move the cutting assembly to starting position
by pressing push-button "DOWN (AB)" and
"BACKWARD (ZURÜCK)" (no. 10 - ill. 5).
4. Set tenon thickness "d" (see ill. 6) by moving
clamping ring (no. 19 - ill. 11). Clamping lever
(no. 43 - ill. 11) has to be released first and the
pointer has to indicate on scale (no. 20) the
dimension for the requested tenon thickness.
Then, tighten clamping lever (no. 43) again.
5. Move the cutting assembly upward by pressing
push-button "UP (AUF)" until spiral tensioning
pin (no. 16 - ill. 10) does not have contact any-
more. Then, loosen clamping lever (no. 15) and
move setting disk (no. 17) until the requested
distance "h" (see ill. 6) bet-ween the lower edge
of the tenon and the lower edge of the work-
piece is indiacted on scale (no. 18). Then, tighten
clamping lever (no. 15) again.
6. To ensure that the tenon starts at the workpiece
edge, check whether the value "0" is indicated
on scale (no. 12 - ill. 8) on the edge of the hous-
ing. If this is not the case, correct the value ac-
cordingly by means of hand wheel (no. 11).
