• When working with the parallel stop, set the cutting
depth indicator 10 (Fig. 8) by turning it into the
bottom position (without rail).
• The rods of the parallel stop have a scaling, which
refers to the left-hand side of the saw blade.
• You can adjust the cutting width after releasing the
wing screws 19 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit stop
accordingly and afterwards retightening the wing
screws.
In addition, by simply turning it around, the parallel stop
can also be used as double support to improve groove-
cutting machine guidance (guide surface for the
workpiece edge is pointing upwards). Now the
machine can be guided along a lath that is fastened on
the workpiece.
5.10 Working with the roller edge guide
The parallel stop 20 (Fig. 3) is used to work parallel to
an already existing edge. The limit stop can be
attached to the left or right of the machine. The cutting
range on the right-hand side amounts to approx. 0 -
100 mm (0 – 3 15/16 in.) and on the left-hand side to
approx. 23 - 230 mm (29/32 – 9 1/16 in.).
• When working with the roller edge guide, set the
cutting depth indicator 10 (Fig. 8) by turning it into
the bottom position (without rail).
• The rods of the parallel stop have a scaling, which
refers to the left-hand side of the saw blade.
• You can adjust the cutting width after releasing the
wing screws 19 (Fig. 2) by moving the limit stop
accordingly and afterwards retightening the wing
screws.
Now the machine can be guided along a narrow
workpiece running below the base plate.
5.11 Working with guide rail
• Place the machine onto the guide rail such that the
groove 24 (Fig. 6) of the base plate rests above the
spring and is guided by it.
• Set the cutting depth indicator 10 (Fig. 8) into the
top position by turning (with rail). Thus, the scale
can also be used with the rail.
5.12 Working with position indicator
Use the position indicator to align
the guide rail to a centre marking of
the guide groove. It is included with
the machine or tools (for
plasterboard milling cutter and
aluminium compound milling
cutter).
Proceed as follows:
• Fit the position indicator 42 (Fig. 6) onto the rib of
the guide rail.
• Move the position indicator on the rail up to the
marking.
• Move the rail with position indicator until the front
(red edge) of the marking indicator agrees with the
marking.
• Place the machine onto the rail (the tool is now
aligned with the centre of the marking).
• Set the required milling depth and machine the
workpiece.

Service and maintenance
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
MAFELL machines are designed to be low in
maintenance.
The ball bearings used are greased for life. When the
machine has been in operation for a longer period of
time, we recommend to hand the machine in at an
authorised MAFELL customer service shop for
inspection.
Only use our special grease, order No. 049040 (1 kg
tin) for all greasing points.
6.1 Storage
Clean the machine thoroughly if the machine is not
used for a longer period of time. Spray blank metal
parts with a rust-proofing agent.
