F.F. Group CS 55/1200 PLUS Notice Originale page 7

2. With the blade barely above the material to be
cut, start the saw and allow the blade to come
to full speed. Gradually lower the blade unto
the material to be cut using the front end of
the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts
cutting, release the lower guard. When the shoe
is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed
cutting in a forward direction to the end of the
cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop be-
fore removing it from the cut. Never pull the saw
backward since the blade will climb out of the
cut and kickback will occur. Turn the saw around
and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing
forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the
cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
1. Large sheet or boards require support to pre-
vent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without
leveling and properly supporting the work piece,
the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
2. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be
sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can
cut through the material without cutting into the
table or workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours
to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece
is too large for the workbench, use the floor with
the two-by fours supporting the wood.
MAINTENANCE
1. To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from
the power source before cleaning or performing
any maintenance the saw may be cleaned most ef-
fectively using compressed air. Always wear safety
goggles when using compressed air. If compressed
air is not available, use a brush to remove dust and
chips from the saw.
2. Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must be
kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not at-
tempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through
openings.
3. Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Such as: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household cleaners
containing ammonia. Do not use any of these to
clean the saw.
4. Have an authorized service center examine and/or
replace the worn carbon brushes in the event of ex-
cessive parking.
5. Blades become dull even when cutting regular lum-
ber, a sure sign of a dull blade is the need to force
the saw forward instead of guiding it while making
a cut. Take the blade to a service center for sharp-
ening.
6. Keep the machine clean all the time.
7. If you discover any damage, consult the exploded
drawing and parts list to determine exactly which
replacement part you need to order from our cus-
tomer service department.
8. Clean the housing only with a damp cloth. Do not
use any solvents! Dry thoroughly afterwards. In or-
der to maintain battery capacity, we recommend
the battery to be completely discharged every one
month and fully recharged again. Only store with a
fully charged battery and top-up the charge from
time to time if stored for a long time. Store in a
dry and frost-free place, the ambient temperature
should not exceed 40°C.
