Troubleshooting - Ferm FRS-710 Gebrauchsanweisung

• The stroke rate required depends upon the
material conditions. The optimal setting
should be determined in use.
• After working for longer periods at low
speed you should allow the machine to cool
down by running it at maximum speed with
no-load for approx. 3 minutes.
ADJUSTING THE FOOT PLATE ANGLE
Fig.D
• To allow the foot plate to follow and
securely rest on the workpiece, the angle of
the footplate can be adjusted as shown in
the diagram.
• The footplate can also be extended
by loosening the two footplate length
adjustment screws (Fig. A8) using the 4 mm
hexagon key and then pulling the footplate
out to the required length.
Ensure the footplate adjustment
screws are secure before resuming
work.
SAWING TIPS
• Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the
material to be processed. For right radius
curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade.
Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the
beat produced along the cut line when
sawing metal.
• Check wood, chip boards, building
materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails,
screws etc.), before sawing and remove
them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the
workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch
objects or the floor with the saw running
(danger of backlash).
• Material containing asbestos must not be
sawn!
• Put the footplate on the surface of the
workpiece, and saw through it with constant
contact pressure or feed. If the saw blade
seizes switch the machine off immediately .
Spread the gap with a suitable tool and pull
out the saw blade.
• After finishing work, switch off the machine
and only put down after it has come to a
complete standstill.

PLUNGE CUTTING
Fig.E
• Plunge cutting may only be used on soft
materials such as wood, aerated concrete,
gypsum plaster boards, etc.
• However, this requires a certain practise
and is only possible with short saw blades.
• Place the saw onto the workpiece and
switch it on.
• Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate
rests on the workpiece surface as shown.
• Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle,
moving the saw to a vertical position and
continue to saw along the cutting line.
• Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece
when the work is complete.
FLUSH SAWING
• Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to
saw projecting objects (e,g, water pipes,
iron bars, etc,) flush against the wall.
• Apply the saw blade directly to the wall
and bend slightly so that the footplate rests
against the wall.
• Switch the machine on and saw off the
workpiece keeping constant lateral pressure
against the wall.
There are no user servicable parts in this unit.
Any repairs or servicing should be carried out
by qualified service en-gineers.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In case the machine does not work well, we
give you some possible causes and solutions.
1. The electromotor gets hot
• The cool ventilation slots in the motor are
stopped up with dirt.
Clean the cool ventilation slots.
• The motor is defect.
Have your machine repaired or checked
by your local Ferm dealer.
2. The connected machine does not work
• Interruption in the mains connection.
Check mains connection for fracture.
Have your machine repaired/checked
