Emissions

The values stated are emission levels. Although there is a correlation between emission and emission level, it cannot be reliably derived from this whether additional precautions are necessary. Factors influencing the current emission level existing at the workplace comprise the duration of exposure, the room characteristic, other sources of noise, etc. such as e.g. the number of machines and other adjacent machining operations. In addition, the permissible emission level may differ from country to country. This information is nevertheless suitable for providing the machine user with an improved assessment of the hazard and risk.

Instructions on operation

Sawing method

Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock  When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off centre, causing loss of control. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an un controlled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;  if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces.

  • Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
  • Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
  • When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
  • Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
  • Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
  • When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
  • If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
  • Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
  • Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
  • Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
  • Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut.
  • If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback..
  • Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
  • The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Lower guard function
Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris. The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and compound cuts. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.  Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

Riving knife function
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function, the body of the blade must be thinner than the riving knife and the cutting width of the blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife. Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.  Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. The riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting. The riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can create kickback .For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback during short cuts .Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is bent Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.

Instructions on service and maintenance
Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an important safety factor. Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories may be used. Otherwise the manufacturer will not accept any warranty claims and cannot be held liable.

Setting / Adjustment

Charging the rechargeable battery

Check whether the rated voltage of the rechargeable battery agrees with the information specified on the machine. Rechargeable battery and charger are matched to each other. Only use the MAFELL – APS 18 chargers for recharging. Before using a new machine, first of all charge the rechargeable battery. A description of how to start up and charge the APS 18 can be found in the appended instructions APS 18 rechargeable power station. The rechargeable battery is equipped with a temperature monitoring system. This guarantees that the rechargeable battery is only charged in the temperature range between 0°C and 50°C. This achieves a long service life for the rechargeable battery. A considerably shortened operating time per charging procedure indicates that the rechargeable battery is spent and needs to be replaced.

Danger Explosion hazard| Protect the rechargeable battery from heat, fire and moisture.
---|---

Do not place the rechargeable battery onto heating appliances and do not expose the rechargeable battery to strong solar radiation for a longer period of time. Temperatures above 50°C are detrimental to the rechargeable battery. Allow a heated rechargeable battery to cool down before charging it. The optimum storage temperature ranges between 10°C and 30°C. Do not open the rechargeable battery and protect it from impacts. Keep the rechargeable battery in a dry and frost-proof place.

Danger| Cover the rechargeable battery’s contacts if it is stored outside the charger. There is a fire and explosion hazard in case of a short circuit caused by metallic bridging.

Riving knife/ Splitter

The riving knife/splitter 7 prevents the saw blade from jamming during longitudinal cutting. The correct distance to the saw blade is shown in For adjustment purposes, release the screw 8  with the Allen key 4 that is included in the supply. Adjust the riving knife/splitter by moving it in its longitudinal groove and retighten the screw afterwards.

Operation

Initial operation

Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must be made aware of the operating instructions calling particular attention.

Switching on and off

Switching on: Press the switch-on lock 9  forward to unlock it. Then actuate switch trigger 10  when the switch-on lock is pressed. As this is a switch without locking device, the machine will only run for as long as this switch trigger is pressed. The built-in electronic system provides for jerk-free acceleration when the machine is switched on and under load readjusts the speed to the fixed setting. In addition, this electronic system adjusts the motor down in case of overload, i.e. the saw blade will stop. Switch the machine off then. Then switch the machine on again and continue sawing at a reduced feed speed. Switching off. Release switch trigger 10 to switch off the machine.

Light

The power tool is equipped with a light module 36. The light module is supplied with power for a certain period of time as soon as the machine is switched on, and is then ready for operation. When the machine is ready for operation, the light module automatically switches the light on when the machine is moved or switches it off when the machine is standing still for longer periods.

Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth is continuously variable between 0 and 55 mm. Proceed as follows to adjust it. Unfasten the clamping lever 12 . Set the cutting depth with the plunge lever 13 .The set depth can be read off scale 14. The bevelled edge of the plunge lever serves as indicator. Retighten the fastening screw 12. Always set the cutting depth approx. 2 to 5 mm (5/64 to 13/64 in. larger than the material thickness to be cut.

Setting for bevel cuts

For bevel cuts, the saw unit can be set to any angle between 0°and 45°.

  • In order to incline it, bring the machine into home position and support it such that it is possible to tilt the saw unit.
  • Release the lever 15.
  • Adjust the angle according to the scale on the segment for tilting.
  • Retighten the lever 15 afterwards.
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
---|---

Unfasten the clamping lever 12  and put the machine in the topmost position with plunge lever 13. Completely open the retractable saw guard with the pre- feed lever 16 , so that the machine can be placed onto the workpiece to be processed. The saw blade is now freely suspended above the material and can be aligned with the marking. Switch on the machine and press the plunge lever 13 downwards. This causes the saw blade to plunge vertically into the workpiece. While doing so, the plunge depth can be read off the scale. 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. In case of repetitive plunge cuts of the same depth, the plunging depth can be preset. Proceed as follows:

  • Set the machine to the desired cutting depth.
  • Open the clamping screw 17 and set the stop bar 18 downwards up to the limit stop.
  • Retighten the clamping screw. After completion of the plunge work, set the stop bar into the top position.
Sawing according to tracings without guide rail

You can detach the machine from the guide rail towards the rear by pressing the ratchet 24 .The retractable marking indicator 19 is automatically adjusted for bevel cuts as well. The tracing edge corresponds to the saw blade’s inside. For diagonal cuts, the marking 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 portable circular saw (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 10.
Sawing with the parallel stop

The parallel stop serves to saw parallel to an already existing edge. The limit stop can be attached to the left or right of the machine. While doing so, the cutting range amounts to 33 – 130 mm on the right-hand side and to 163 – 300 mm on the left-hand side. You can adjust the cutting width after releasing the wing screws 20  by moving the limit stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the wing screws. In addition, by simply turning it around (guide face for the workpiece edge points upwards), the parallel stop can also be used as double support to improve guidance of the portable circular saw. Now the machine can be guided along a guide that is fastened on the workpiece.

Working with the roller edge guide

The roller edge guide serves 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. 12 – 40 mm 0.47 – 1.57 in and on the left-hand side to approx. 30 – 210 mm 1.18 – 8.27 in. You can adjust the cutting width after releasing the wing screws 20  by moving the limit stop accordingly and afterwards retightening the wing screws.

Service and maintenance

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.

Storage

If the machine is not used for a longer period of time, it has to be carefully cleaned. Spray bright metal parts with a rust inhibitor.

Transport

The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements. When being transported by third parties e.g  air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging and labelling must be observed. For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required. Dispatch batteries only when the housing is undamaged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging. Please also observe possibly more detailed national regulations.

Disposal of rechargeable batteries/batteries

The machine, rechargeable batteries, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental friendly recycling. Do not dispose of power tools and batteries/rechargeable batteries into household waste.

Troubleshooting

Danger|  Determining the causes for existing defects and eliminating these always requires increased attention and caution. Unplug the rechargeable battery beforehand!
---|---

Some of the most frequent defects and their causes are listed in the following chart. In case of other defects, contact your dealer or the MAFELL customer service.

Defect Cause Elimination
Machine cannot be switched on Discharge the       rechargeable battery

Charge the rechargeable battery
Rechargeable battery not engaged in end position| Allow rechargeable battery to engage completely
Rechargeable battery almost empty, an LED on the rechargeable battery is flashing.| Electronic system protects the rechargeable battery from deep discharge.| Check, press button 22
If only one LED is still glowing, recharge the rechargeable battery.
Overload, machine switches off.| A sustained load has overheated the machine or the rechargeable battery. A warning signal is sounded constant bleeping.
It will go out after max. 30 seconds or after the switch trigger is released.| Allow the machine and the rechargeable battery to cool down.
The rechargeable battery can be cooled down much faster with a charger with air cooling.
The machine can also be cooled down much faster by using a different rechargeable battery and idling the machine.
The machine switches off at a sudden increase in load.| The sudden increase in load also causes the current that is required for the machine to rise. This rise in current, which occurs when there is a sudden blockage or backlash, is measured and then leads to the machine being switched off.| Switch off the machine by releasing the switch trigger.

Afterwards, you can switch the machine back on again and resume work as normal.
Try to avoid further blockages.
