  If your Mafell Saw stops during cutting, the possible causes include a mains failure, in which case you should have the mains back-up fuses checked by an electrician. Another cause might be machine overload, to solve this reduce the feed rate. Finally, worn-out carbon brushes can also cause the machine to stop; in this case, take the machine to the MAFELL customer service workshop.

  Danielle TravisAug 1, 2025
  If your Mafell Saw won't switch on, it could be due to several reasons. The mains voltage might be missing or too low, so have the power supply checked by an electrician. Alternatively, the mains fuse could be defective, in which case you should have it replaced by an electrician. Lastly, worn-out carbon brushes can also prevent the machine from starting; take the machine to the MAFELL customer service workshop.

What to do if the saw blade jams when pushing the Mafell Saw forward?

  Jennifer VelasquezAug 5, 2025
  If the saw blade jams when pushing the Mafell Saw forward, consider these potential causes. It could be due to a feed rate that is too high, so reduce the feed rate. A blunt saw blade can also cause jamming; in this case, release the switch at once, remove the machine from the workpiece, and replace the saw blade. Tension in the workpiece can also cause the saw blade to jam, so use increased caution when sawing, as there is a higher risk of kickback. Poor machine guidance, such as due to unsupported manual guidance, can be another cause, so use a parallel guide fence. Finally, an uneven workpiece surface may cause jamming, so align the surface.

  Dawn GreeneAug 10, 2025
  If the saw blade vibrates in the workpiece when using your Mafell Saw, it could be because the saw blade is not adjusted correctly; retighten the saw blade. Another reason could be that the workpiece is not secured, so secure the workpiece with clamps.

What to do if the chip ejector is obstructed on my Mafell MT55cc?
- D
  Denise FuentesAug 18, 2025
  If the chip ejector is obstructed on your Mafell Saw, it could be due to wood being too damp, so clean the chip ejector. Another cause could be a long cutting operation without extraction, so connect the machine to an external extractor, such as a small dust extractor.
