Setting For Bevel Cuts; Plunge Cuts; Sawing According To Tracings - Mafell KSS 400 Notice Originale


You can read the value off the scale at the
stationary guard. The bevelled edge of the lever
serves as indicator.
Always set the cutting depth
approx. 2 to 5 mm (1/16 to 3/16 in.)
larger than the material thickness
to be cut.

5.4 Setting for bevel cuts

For bevel cuts, the saw unit can be set to any angle
between 0° and 45°. The position of the inside cut
edge of the saw blade remains unchanged during
tilting.

Unfasten the wing nut 10 (Fig. 2)

Adjust the angle according to the scale on the
segment for tilting.

Afterwards, tighten the wing bolt 10.

5.5 Plunge cuts

Danger
Risk of backlash during plunge
cuts! Prior to plunging, place the
machine with the rear edge of its
base plate against a limit stop
fastened on the workpiece. Keep a
firm hold on the machine handle
during plunging and push the saw
lightly forward!

For plunge cuts, remove the two stop bolts on
the bottom side of the guide rail.

Unfasten the clamping lever 11 (Fig. 2).

Set lever 6 to position „-5" on scale 7.

Use the integrated handle 14 (Fig. 1) to
completely open the retractable saw guard so
that the machine can be placed onto the
workpiece to be processed. The saw blade is
now running freely above the material and can
be aligned for tracing.

Push the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) vertically
downwards so that the saw blade plunges
vertically into the workpiece. The plunging depth
can be read from scale 7. The riving knife /
splitter swings up and away when the blade
enters the workpiece. As soon as the slit behind
the saw blade is cleared during the forward
motion of the machine, the riving knife reverts to
its normal position.

5.6 Sawing according to tracings

with guide rail
When sawing according to tracing, the right edge of
the guide rail serves as tracing indicator. This also
applies to bevel cuts. Please take note of chapter 5.4.

For sawing, place the guide rail onto the
workpiece.

Switch on the machine (see Chapter 5.2) and
slide the machine evenly in cutting direction.

When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 1)

While it is resting on the workpiece, pull the
machine back into home position and in this
position remove it from the workpiece.
Proceeding in this manner ensures that the
retractable saw guard is completely closed.
without guide rail
Danger
When sawing without guide rail it is
imperative to mount the enclosed
support bracket or parallel stop. It
serves as double support for an
improved guidance of the machine
and to ensure your safety.
You can detach the machine from the guide rail
towards the rear by pressing the ratchet 20 (Fig. 3).
The base plate has two tracing edges 17 (Fig. 1) for
0° and 45°. These tracing edges correspond to the
saw blade's inside. For bevel cuts, the tracing can be
viewed through the opening on the left-hand side of
the upper saw guard.

Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.

Switch on the machine (see chapter 5.2) and
slide the machine evenly forward in the direction
of the cut.

When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 2)
