Cutting Of Shouldered Straight Tenons; Cutting Of Oblique Tenons - Mafell ZAF 200/Vario Notice D'emploi

7. Set the horizontal travel distance of the cutting
assembly by turning hand wheel (no. 21 - ill.
12) so that the right-hand edge of stop (no. 22
- ill. 13) indicates at least the workpiece width
on scale (no. 23). It is recommended to add an
in-creased factor of safety of some millimeters
(inches).
8. Move the cutting assembly downward to the
lower stop position by pressing push-button
"DOWN (AB)" and then set mode select switch
(no. 7 - ill. 5) to position "2" before closing the
cover of the machine housing.
9. When cutting tenons on one side, loosen handle
lever (no. 27 - ill. 15) and set the double stop so
that pointer (no. 28) indicates on scale (no. 29)
the finished timber length without the tenon
length "t" (see. ill. 6). Tighten handle lever. Put
the workpiece against the guide border of the
workpiece support and slide it into the feed
opening. Fold down front stop flap (no. 30 -
ill. 15) and push the workpiece against it. Then,
clamp the workpiece by means of clamping
device (no. 26 - ill. 14) and position both slides
(no. 24 and 25) close to the workpiece. Press
start push-button (no. 8 - ill. 5). The cutter
head is cutting automatically the set tenon
shape. The tenon will be chamfered at the
same time.
10. When cutting tenons on both sides, set the
workpiece length as described in chapter 9. In
addition, adjust the knurled-head screw (stop
for the rough piece of timber) of the rear flap to
the tenon length according to the scale of the
double stop and lock by means of clamping
screw (no. 32). Put the workpiece against the
guide border of the workpiece support, slide
the workpiece into the feed opening until it
pushes against the stop for the rough piece of
timber. Clamp the workpiece and cut the first
tenon. Loosen the clamping device after the
cutting tool has stopped, turn the workpiece,
push the shoulder (not the tenon) of the work-
piece against the front stop and then cut the
second tenon after having clamped the work-
piece.

3.5 Cutting of shouldered straight tenons

This tenon shape also requires pointer (no. 13 -
ill. 9) to indicate the value "0" on scale (no. 14) of
the segment for rotating.
To set the tenon dimension and to start cutting,
proceed as follows:
1. Carry out steps 1 to 5 described in section 3.4.
2. Turn hand wheel (no. 11 - ill. 8) to set the shoul-
der dimension "s" (see ill. 6) according to scale
(no. 12) on the edge of the housing.
3. Set the horizontal travel distance of the cutting
assembly by turning hand wheel (no. 21 - ill. 12)
so that the right-hand edge of stop (no. 22 - ill.
13) indicates at least the tenon width + shoul-
der dimension "s" on scale (no. 23). Example:
required tenon width 10 cm and shoulder di-
mension 3 cm adds up in the dimension of 13 to
be set.
4. Carry out steps 8 to 10 described in section 3.4.

3.6 Cutting of oblique tenons

Important: Before cutting the timber, an oblique
tenon must be cut at the angle required!
To set the tenon dimension and to start cutting,
proceed as follows:
1. Release handle lever (no. 34 - ill. 16) and rotate
the cutting assembly so that pointer (no. 35) in-
dicates the required angle on scale (no. 36).
Then, tighten handle lever again.
2. Set mode select switch (no. 7 - ill. 5) to position
"1" and open the cover of the machine housing.
3. To set the tenon dimensions "t" and "d" as well
as the distance "h" (see ill. 6) between the lower
edge of the tenon and the lower edge of the
workpiece, follow steps 2 to 6 described in sec-
tion 3.4.
4. Set the horizontal travel distance of the cutting
assembly by means of hand wheels (no. 11 -
ill. 8) and (no. 21 - ill. 12). First, set the dimen-
sion of the final trim "0" or the shoulder dimen-
sion "s" on the scale by means of hand wheel
(no. 11 - ill. 8) as described in section 3.5.2.
Now, set stop (no. 22 - ill. 13) by means of hand
wheel (no. 21 - ill. 12) as described in section
3.5.3.
