Maintenance - Ferm TSM1030 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• 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.

Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to

the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably
after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from
dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a
soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use
solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water,
etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
