Sawing With Parallel Guide Fence; Service And Maintenance; Saw Blades - Mafell KSS 400 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• For sawing, hold the machine by the handles and
place the front part of the base plate on the work-
piece.
• Switch on the cross-cutting system KSS 400 / 24
V (see chapter 4.4) and move it uniformly in the
cutting direction.
• After the cut has been performed, the saw must
be immediately switched off by releasing the
switch trigger 2 (Fig. 3).

4.11 Sawing with parallel guide fence

It is very important to observe the
instructions with regard to sawing
contained in the chapter „Safety
instructions"!
The parallel guide fence 4 (Fig. 2) is used when
sawing parallel to an existing edge. The guide fence
can be attached to the left or right of the machine.
The cutting width range is about 155 mm (6 1/8 in.)
on the right side and about 280 mm (11 1/32 in.) on
the left side.
• To adjust the cutting width, release both wing
screws 9 (Fig. 1) and move the fence accordingly.
Retighten wing screws.
The parallel guide fence can also be used as an
extended support, providing improved guidance of
the portable saw. To do so, simply turn it over (guide
surface for the workpiece edge faces up).
• Now the machine can be guided along on either a
cross bar fastened onto the workpiece or on a
guide rail available as a special accessory.

Service and maintenance

Prior to any tool replacement, it is
imperative to remove the battery from
the machine (refer to section 4.3).
MAFELL machines are designed to be
low in maintenance. The ball bearings
used are greased for life. After a pro-
longed period of operation, users are
recommended to have the machine
checked by an authorized MAFELL cus-
tomer service shop.
5.1 Machine
The machine must be cleaned of dust deposits at
regular intervals. When doing so, clean all joins and-
guides as well as the air vents on the motor using a
vacuum cleaner. Spray the joints and guide pieces
with machine oil from time to time in order to main-
tain their smooth movement.
In addition it must be checked whether the retracta-
ble saw guard moves smoothly. If it does not close
automatically after having opened it, the machine
must be taken to a MAFELL customer service shop.
This should be done after a prolonged period of
operation even if there are no failures.
Only use our special grease, order number 049040
(1 kg tin), for all lubrication spots.
5.2

Saw blades

The saw blades used on the machine must be freed from
resin regularly as clean tools improve the cutting quality.
For cleaning only acidfree but not highly alkaline
cleaning agents may be used.
This can be done by soaking the saw blades for 24
hours in paraffin, white spirit or commercially availa-
ble resin remover.
5.3 Storage
If the machine is out of service for a lengthy period of
time, it should be thoroughly cleaned (see
chapter 55.1). Spray bright metal panels with a rust-
proofing agent.
Store the machine only in dry rooms, where it is pro-
tected against weathering.
