Maintenance; Workbench - Ferm TSM1031 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Crosswise sawing
• Remove the fence and apply the cross-cut
fence in the righthand carriage.
• Adjust the height of the saw blade (see
lengthwise sawing).
• Press the workpiece against the cross-cut
fence and keep at least 2,5 cm distance from
the front of the saw blade.
• Switch on the engine and wait until the
maximum number of revolutions has been
reached.
• Press the workpiece against the fence and
the bench. Carefully push the wood through
the saw blade. Continue until behind the saw
blade. Then switch off the engine and keep
this position until the saw blade has stopped
completely before you remove the wood.
• Never pull the wood back. If necessary, switch
the engine off and keep the position until the
saw blade has stopped completely.
Crosswise sawing with a vertical mitre
This method is practically the same, except that
the saw blade is placed in the angle required.
Only place the cross-cut fence on the
righthand side of the saw blade. Never
saw too small pieces of wood. Never use
your hands to carry out difficult
operations.
Crosswise sawing with a horizontal mitre
With this method the cross-cut fence must
be secured at the angle required. Keep the
workpiece pressed firmly against the cross-cut
fence and the bench before you start cutting off.

5. MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
These machines have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular
cleaning.
Malfunctions
In the case that the machine is not functioning
properly, we give a number of possible causes
and appropriate solutions below.
1. Working instructions
• The plug is not in the mains.
• The cable has been interrupted.
2. The workpieces is jamming against the
riving knife during processing
• The saw blade must be aligned (Fig. E).
3. The saw cut is not smooth (frayed)
• The saw blade must be sharpened.
• The saw blade has been assembled back-to-
front.
• The saw blade has become coated with resin
or sawdust.
• The saw blade is not suitable for this process.
4. The workpiece is touching the back of the
saw blade and is jumping out
• The riving knife must be aligned (Fig. E).
• The fence is not being used.
• The saw blade is thicker than the riving knife or
the riving knife is not being used
• The saw blade must be sharpened.
• The workpiece has not been kept in its place
until after sawing.
• The tension button of the cross-cut fence is
loose.
5. The height and/or mitre handle is blocked
• Sawdust and dust must be removed.
6. The engine has difficulty reaching the
maximum number of revolutions
• The extension cable is too thin and/or too long.
• The mains voltage is lower than 230 V.
7. The machine is vibrating
• The machine has not been fastened onto the

workbench.

• The frame is not level with the floor.
• The saw blade has been damaged.
