1. Introduzzjoni
This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, setup, and maintenance of your Mafell ZSX Twin Ec Carpentry Chainsaw. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the tool to ensure proper handling and to prevent injury or damage.
Prodott Overview
The Mafell ZSX Twin Ec is a powerful carpentry chainsaw designed for processing large timber components. It features two CUprex motors, allowing for high performance even when power is distributed across two electrical circuits. This design ensures the tool receives the necessary power without overloading the network. It is ideal for longitudinal cuts up to 400 mm deep and facilitates precise angle cuts and overlaps in timber construction.

2. Istruzzjonijiet tas-Sigurtà
TWISSIJA: Aqra t-twissijiet, l-istruzzjonijiet, l-illustrazzjonijiet u l-ispeċifikazzjonijiet kollha dwar is-sigurtà pprovduti ma’ din l-għodda tal-enerġija. In-nuqqas li ssegwi l-istruzzjonijiet kollha elenkati hawn taħt jista’ jirriżulta f’xokk elettriku, nar, u/jew korriment serju.
- Tagħmir Protettiv Personali (PPE): Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and appropriate footwear. A hard hat and leg protection are also recommended.
- Sigurtà taż-Żona tax-Xogħol: Żomm iż-żona tax-xogħol nadifa u mdawwla sew. Żoni imbarazzati jew mudlama jistiednu inċidenti. Tħaddimx għodod tal-enerġija f'atmosferi splussivi, bħal fil-preżenza ta' likwidi, gassijiet jew trab fjammabbli.
- Sigurtà Elettrika: Il-plakek tal-għodda tal-enerġija għandhom jaqblu mas-sokit. Qatt ma timmodifika l-plakka bl-ebda mod. Evita kuntatt tal-ġisem ma' uċuħ ertjati jew imqabbdin mal-art.
- Operazzjoni tal-Għodda: Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Use the correct tool for your application. Do not force the tool.
- Prevenzjoni ta' Kickback: Be aware of kickback. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the chainsaw. Ensure the chain is sharp and properly tensioned.
- Manutenzjoni: Skonnettja l-plagg mis-sors tal-enerġija qabel ma tagħmel xi aġġustamenti, tbiddel l-aċċessorji, jew taħżen għodda tal-enerġija.
- Tfal u Persuni li Qegħdin fil-Viċin: Żomm lit-tfal u lil dawk li jkunu fil-qrib 'il bogħod waqt li tħaddem għodda tal-enerġija.
3. Setup u Assemblea
3.1 Spakkjar u Spezzjoni
Carefully unpack all components. Inspect the tool for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is found, do not operate the tool and contact your dealer immediately.
3.2 Installing the Saw Chain
- Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply.
- Refer to the chain installation diagram (if available in the full manual) for proper orientation.
- Mount the chain onto the guide bar, ensuring the cutting teeth are facing the correct direction.
- Adjust chain tension according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled around the guide bar by hand.
3.3 Attaching the Parallel Stop and Guide Rail
For precise longitudinal cuts, attach the parallel stop and guide rail as follows:
- Slide the parallel stop into the designated slots on the base plate.
- Secure the parallel stop at the desired measurement for your cut.
- For extended precision, align the chainsaw with the Mafell guide rail (Part No. 205934) and secure it.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
4.1 Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija
The ZSX Twin Ec operates on two 230 V phases. Connect the two power cables to separate 230 V/50 Hz circuits to ensure optimal power distribution and prevent overload.
4.2 Aġġustament tal-Fond u l-Angolu tat-Tqattigħ
- Qtugħ tal-fond: Adjust the guide bar to achieve the desired cutting depth, up to a maximum of 400 mm.
- Aġġustament tal-Angolu: The saw can be pivoted from -15° to +60°. Use the angle scale on the base plate to set the precise angle for your cuts.
4.3 Nagħmlu Qatgħa
- Kun żgur li l-biċċa tax-xogħol tkun clamped.
- Position the chainsaw on the workpiece, ensuring the guide rail (if used) is properly aligned.
- Start the motor and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece.
- Guide the chainsaw smoothly and steadily through the material. Do not force the tool.
- After completing the cut, release the trigger and allow the chain to stop before lifting the tool from the workpiece.

5. Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Mafell ZSX Twin Ec.
5.1 Tindif
- After each use, disconnect the tool from the power supply.
- Clean the tool thoroughly, removing sawdust and debris from the motor housing, guide bar, and chain. Use a brush or compressed air.
- Ensure the dust extraction port is clear.

5.2 Chain Lubrication and Sharpening
- Regularly check the chain for sharpness. A dull chain can cause kickback and reduce cutting efficiency. Sharpen or replace the chain as needed.
- Ensure the automatic chain lubrication system (if present) is functioning correctly and the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate chain oil.
