Cutting procedures

Mafell PS 2-18 - Cutting procedures - 1

Danger

  • Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing (see A/B - Fig. 1). If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
  • Do not reach under the workpiece.
  • Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
  • Always hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when carrying out work during which the bit may hit concealed power lines. Contact with a live power line also energises the metal parts of the power tool and leads to an electric shock.
  • If you would like to restart a saw that is stuck in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the saw slit and check whether the saw teeth are stuck in the workpiece.
  • Support large plates to reduce the risk of backlash caused by a jammed saw blade.
  • Do not use any blunt or damaged saw blades.
  • Before starting to saw, tighten the cutting angle adjustments and the swivel plate P-SP. The swivel plate P-SP is an optional accessory.
  • Be especially careful when making a "plunge cut" into a concealed area, e.g. into an existing wall.
  • Examine the workpiece for foreign objects.
  • Only saw into metal parts, e.g. nails, with a suitable saw blade.

- Reduce the speed when using saw blades >180 mm [7 in.] to prevent swinging up.

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.

Mafell PS 2-18 - Removing the rechargeable battery - 1

Do not use force to do so.

5.4 Dust extraction

Connect the machine to a suitable external dust extractor during all work generating a considerable amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20 m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).

The machine is supplied with a hose connector 9 (Fig. 4), a hose connector extension 10 (Fig. 4) and a chip deflector 8 (Fig. 3).

Use the hose connector to connect an external dust extractor. The outer diameter of the hose connector is 26 mm.

Chips in the visible tracing area are blown from this area by means of an air stream and through a channel. The chips can be extracted via the hose connector including hose connector extension mounted on the base plate.

Use the chip deflector 8 (Fig. 3) if you are unable to extract the arising dust. The dust is guided away from the user by the deflector. You can alternatively mount both parts on the machine base plate:

  • Push the two spring arms together at the position marked with "X" (Fig. 3) and pull out the hose connector, the hose connector extension and the chip deflector to the rear while keeping the spring arms pressed together.
  • For assembly, push the hose connector, the hose connector extension and the chip deflector into the opening at the rear end of the base plate until the spring arms engage automatically.

  • Now release the clamping lever 3. This closes the locking sleeve and the saw blade is fixed.
  • Check the saw blade for a tight and straight seat.

5.7 Large base plate and swivel plate

The machine is as a standard equipped with a base plate 5 (Fig. 2) that facilitates precise rectangular cuts. To carry out angular cuts, mount the swivel plate P-SP (Item No. 205446) that is available as special accessory. Assembly/disassembly is carried out in the same order as for the base plate. Please also note Fig. I to XI on page 6.

Follow the procedure below:

  • Open the clamping lever 6 (Fig.2) anti-clockwise from a horizontal to a vertical position. This releases the clamping between machine and base plate.
  • Move the base plate until the indicator position on the machine coincides with the notch in the base plate (see Fig. 6).
  • Now take the machine off the base plate.
  • Take the swivel plate and when joining swivel plate and machine, pay attention that the clamping lever is in a vertical position.
  • Assemble the machine and swivel plate in such a manner that the indicator on the machine and the indicator on the swivel plate are standing above each other.
  • Move the swivel plate towards the machine in the desired direction.
  • Turn the clamping lever as far as possible clockwise into a horizontal position until the swivel plate and the machine are firmly joined.
  • Actuate the clamping lever on the swivel plate (Fig. VI on page 6) to tilt the machine at the desired angle.
  • Close the clamping lever on the swivel plate.

Fig. IX to XI on page 6 illustrate sawing with the swivel plate on the guide rail (Fig. IX), with a parallel guide fence (Fig. X) as well as using both parallel guide fence and guide rail (Fig. XI).

5.8 Use of the performance jigsaw on the guide rail

The machine can be used on the guide rail F. One half of the base plate will protrude the rail in the process. The rail thickness is levelled out by fitting a glider 11 (Fig. 5).

The glider can be fitted on the base plate or on the swivel plate.

5.8.1 Attaching the glider

- Insert the glider hook into the recesses on the base plate or swivel plate (see Fig. 5). Glider and base plate or swivel plate will form an approximate angle of 30^ in the process.

  • Tilt the glider against the base plate or swivel plate until the pin engages in the drill hole.
  • Place the machine onto the guide rail F such that the groove in the base plate or swivel plate reaches over the spring of the rail.

5.8.2 Detaching the glider

  • Tilt the glider to approx. 30° away from the base plate or swivel plate by reaching into the recess provided with your finger (Fig. 5) and lifting the glider.
  • Now you can remove the hook from the recesses in the base plate or swivel plate and detach the glider.

5.9 Assembly and disassembly of the saw blade holder

This machine is equipped with a particularly accurate saw blade holder. If this holder is worn or dirty, you can replace it or clean it.

Follow the procedure below:

  • Bring the plunger (lifting rod) into an as deep as possible end position by starting the machine several times.
  • Remove the rechargeable battery.
  • Remove the saw blade. See chapter 5.6.
  • Remove the base plate 5 (Fig. 2). See chapter 5.7.

  • Remove the pressure piece and spring and clean or replace them.
  • Now re-insert spring and pressure piece into the adapter sleeve and slide the locking sleeve over it.
  • Turn the locking sleeve anti-clockwise until it engages in the thread of the adapter sleeve.
  • Tension the spring by continuing to turn the locking sleeve. Skip three thread turns in the process. Then release the lug on the locking sleeve. The distance between the lug on the locking sleeve and the clamping lever is approx. 2 mm (see illustration).

Mafell PS 2-18 - Danger - 3

natural_image Close-up of a mechanical component with a magnified circular detail and internal features (no visible text or symbols)

The locking sleeve must not chafe on the driver of the clamping lever when no saw blade is inserted.

Mafell PS 2-18 - Danger - 4

If only two thread turns are skipped when continuing to turn the locking sleeve, the lug chafes on the locking sleeve at the clamping lever and the inserted saw blade falls out.

  • Finally, reinstall the base plate on the machine. See chapter 4.6.
  • Carry out a test cut.

6 Operation

6.1 Initial operation

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

6.2 Switching on and off

For switching on and off, briefly actuate the switch trigger 1 (Fig. 1).

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. An acoustic warning signal is sounded. Switch the machine off then. Then switch the machine on again and continue sawing at a reduced feed speed.

With the setting wheel 4 (Fig. 1) you can continuously adjust the stroke rate in 6 levels between 750 rpm and 3100 rpm.

Mafell PS 2-18 - Switching on and off - 1

Only switch on the machine with fitted saw blade.

6.3 Pendulum stroke setting

The jig saw is equipped with a soft start, i.e. the pendulum stroke only takes effect when pressure is exerted on the saw blade. The degree of pendulum movement is set with control lever 2 (Fig. 1) in two levels. The pendulum stroke pushes the saw blade against the workpiece during the working stroke and lifts it off the workpiece during the downstroke. This results in a favourable chip removal and a reduction of the frictional heat.

If the switch is set to 0, the pendulum stroke is switched off. For a faster work process, use levels 1 and 2.

You work without pendulum stroke:

  • on thin material
  • when working with rasp, tooth saw blade or knife
  • on soft materials
  • when cutting without predrilling for cut-outs in wood
  • Reverse sawing

6.4 Splinter-free sawing

For splinter-free sawing on the surface of the material, use the splinter guard included in the scope of supply (see page 5, Item No. 205447, P-SS).

Mafell PS 2-18 - Splinter-free sawing - 1

Danger

The machine must be switched off before inserting the splinter guard.

  • With the machine switched off, push the splinter guard flush along the surface until just in front of the saw blade (see Fig. I, P-SS).
  • Switch on the machine.
  • Press the machine with the splinter guard against a stable edge to push in the splinter guard flush with the front edge of the base plate, sawing into it in the process. (Fig. II).

Mafell PS 2-18 - Danger - 1

The use of pendulum stroke positions 1 and 2 is advantageous for the tearing behaviour on the underside of the material.

6.5 Positioning the base plate

Once it has been released, the base plate can be moved to the front and rear.

  • Release the base plate as described under 5.7.
  • Move the base plate into the desired position.
  • Clamp the base plate as described under 5.7.

Possible base plate positions:

  • Standard position for right-angled cuts, saw blade is completely enclosed (Fig. 6).
  • Base plate position is flush with the front edge of the saw blade. This makes sawing close to the edge possible (Fig. 7).

6.6 Reverse sawing

If cutting near a corner, only a small bearing face is available for the base plate and an angular application of the saw is difficult. To increase the bearing face, turn the saw blade by 180^ and saw against the normal direction of sawing. Please note that it is not possible to use the pendulum stroke for this sawing operation and that it must be switched off.

6.7 Sawing with parallel guide fence P-PA

For sawing cuts parallel to the edge of the material, the parallel guide fence is used (see page 5 Item No. 205448 P-PA). The parallel guide fence is included in the scope of supply.

6.7.1 Locking and unlocking the guide fence (Fig. I)

The stop flap on the base body of the parallel guide fence can be opened. To do so, push the stop flap in direction of the arrow to the right to open the stop flap. To lock the stop flap in an open state, push it in direction of the arrow to the left. The stop flap engages. The lock symbols on the inside of the stop flap indicate whether it is locked or unlocked.

For sawing out circle patterns, it is possible to remove either the compass tip or compass pin from the base body of the parallel guide fence (see also Fig. VI to X on page 5).

6.7.2 Assembly of the guide fence (Fig. III)

The parallel guide fence can be inserted in the machine's base plate but also in the swivel plate. The swivel plate is an optional accessory.

  • Turn the parallel guide fence so that the stop flap is pointing downwards.
  • Insert the parallel guide fence into the opening provided on the base plate 5 (Fig. 2). The parallel guide fence can be used on both sides of the machine.
  • Fasten the parallel guide fence with the wing screw included in the scope of supply.

6.7.3 Parallel guide fence und guide rail (Abb. II, IV, V)

When using a guide rail and the parallel guide fence, the machine can be used next to (see Fig. IV) or on the guide rail (see Fig. V).

The guide rail is available in different lengths and is an optional accessory.

Inserting next to the guide rail (Fig. IV)

• Fix the guide rail with two tension clamps.
- Assemble the parallel guide fence on the machine with the stop flap pointing upwards.
- Place the groove of the parallel guide fence onto the guide web of the guide rail.

Inserting on the guide rail (Fig. V)

• Fix the guide rail with two tension clamps.
- Assemble the parallel guide fence on the machine with the stop flap pointing downwards.
- Place the groove of the parallel guide fence onto the guide web of the guide rail.
- Adjust the desired distance to the machine.

As half of the machine base plate protrudes beyond the guide rail, the rail thickness is levelled out by fitting the glider included in the supply (see Chapter 4.8.1).

6.8 Lighting of the work area

The jig saw is equipped with a working light. When it is switched on, the work area around the machine standing on the workpiece is illuminated. If the material is machined from below, the light goes out automatically. The operator is thus not dazzled when he applies the machine to the workpiece.

The light mode can be inverted by knocking three times (such as on a door) on the front side of the machine in the area of the light symbol. The machine must be switched off for inverting the light mode.

During sawing, the state of the light remains unchanged.

If the machine is not in use for more than 10 min, the original state of the light module is active again when the machine is switched back on. This also applies when the rechargeable battery is replaced.

When the machine is switched off, the working light continues to glow for 10 s. If the machine is moved within 10 min after it was switched on the last time, the working light switches on again.

8 Troubleshooting

Mafell PS 2-18 - Troubleshooting - 1

Danger

Determining the causes for existing defects and eliminating these always requires increased attention and caution. Pull the mains plug beforehand!

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

DefectCauseRemedy
Machine cannot be switched on.Discharge the rechargeable batteryCharge the rechargeable battery
Rechargeable battery not engaged in end positionAllow 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.To check, press the button on the rechargeable battery.Only one LED is still glowing.Charge 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.
Defect Cause Remedy
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.
Saw blade jams when the machine is advanced.Feed rate too fast Reduce feed speed
Blunt saw bladeRelease the switch immediately. Remove the machine from the workpiece and replace the saw blade
Tension in the workpiece
Poor machine guidance Use parallel guide fence
Uneven workpiece surface Straighten the surface
Burn marks on the cut surfacesThe saw blade used is unsuitable for the task or bluntReplace saw blade
Chip ejection blockedWood is too dampClean chip ejection
Extended cutting operation without extractionConnect machine to an external extraction, e.g. portable dust extractor
Saw blade vibrates in the work pieceSaw blade is not correctly positioned or dirtyClean and / or position the saw blade correctly
