Frequently Asked Questions - PDM1035 Ferm

How do I change the blade on my Ferm PDM1035 circular saw?

Unplug the saw. Use the provided key to lock the shaft. Unscrew the center screw with an Allen key. Remove the outer flange and the blade. Install the new blade respecting the rotation direction. Re-tighten the flange and the screw. Tighten firmly. Check that the blade turns freely before reconnecting.

What is the maximum cutting depth?

The maximum cutting depth is 65 mm at 90° and 45 mm at 45°. To adjust, loosen the depth adjustment lever, position the sole, and retighten.

How do I adjust the cutting angle?

Loosen the angle locking knob located at the front of the sole. Tilt the sole to the desired angle (from 0° to 45°). Use the scale for precise adjustment. Retighten the knob. Perform a test cut on a scrap piece.

What should I do if the saw does not start?

First check that the saw is plugged in and the outlet works. Inspect the power cord for any cuts. If the problem persists, the switch or motor may be defective. Contact Ferm after-sales service.

How do I use the parallel guide?

Insert the guide rods into the slots on the sole. Tighten the fixing screws. Adjust the distance between the guide and the blade according to the desired cutting width. The guide allows straight cuts parallel to the edge of the workpiece.

What type of blade should I use?

Use a blade with 185 mm diameter and a bore of 20 mm (or compatible). Choose a blade suitable for the material: fine teeth for wood, carbide for hard materials. Respect the maximum speed indicated on the blade.

How do I maintain my saw?

Clean the ventilation slots regularly with a soft brush. Check the condition of the cable and plug. Lightly grease moving parts. Store the saw in a dry place. Replace the blade if it is dull or damaged.

The saw vibrates abnormally, what should I do?

Check that the blade is properly tightened and balanced. Ensure the blade is not warped or damaged. Check the alignment of the blade with the sole. If vibrations persist, the motor bearing may be worn; contact customer service.

How do I clean the protective guard?

Clean the protective guard with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvents. Ensure the guard retracts freely after cleaning. If the mechanism is stuck, lightly lubricate the pivot points.

Before using the appliance

• Make sure that the saw bench is adequately and effectively illuminated.
• When you use strip lighting you should be aware of the so-called stroboscopic effect. This may cause a rotating saw blade to appear to be stationary. One solution is to use two fittings in order to create
  • phase displacement.
• Check the following points:
• Does the voltage of the motor and any fuse employed correspond with the mains voltage? Appliances with a voltage of 230 V\~ may be connected without problems to a mains voltage of 220 V\~.
• Are the feeder cable and plug in good condition: sturdy, without loose bits or damage?
• Has the saw blade lost any teeth or is it displaying cracks or fractures? If so, replace the saw blade immediately.

• The protective hood may not be set higher than required to let the workpiece pass.

• The riving knife should be narrower than the saw cut and broader than the saw blade.

• Do not exercise lateral pressure on the saw blade as it may cause it to break.
• Check the wood for knots, nails, cracks and waste residues.
  • These irregularities may cause the workpiece to kick back dangerously.
• Ensure that no objects get into the extraction system.
• These objects may come into contact with the saw blades resulting in potentially hazardous situations.

Using the appliance

• Push the workpiece that you are going to saw securely to the table surface.
• Hold at the same time the section of the workpiece that has been sawed to prevent it breaking off. The hand t hat secures the sawed section should remain behind the saw blade and move away from it. Make sure that the hand that you use to secure the workpiece does not cross the hand that you use to operate the appliance.
• Use the push stick supplied with the appliance.
• Use the push stick to guide smaller workpieces past the saw blade.
• Do not use long extension cables.
• Allow the appliance to cool off before moving it.
• Do not remove wood residues in the vicinity of the saw by hand.
• When wood residues are trapped between stationary and moving parts switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the electrical socket. Only then remove the residues.
• Select the appropriate saw blade.
• Select the saw blade (with the correct teeth) and the correct speed of rotation and slip appropriate for the material to be sawed and fit the saw blade carefully. This will not only increase the lifetime of the saw blade but also prevent cracks and fissures with their attendant hazards. Fit only recommended saw blades that meet European standard EN847.
• Do not saw pegs or sharp-cornered workpieces.
• This is hazardous. Saw pegs or sharp-cornered workpieces with an appliance

designed for that purpose (a peg cutter or milling machine) and not with a saw bench.

• Exercise care when sawing waste or firewood.
• Waste or firewood often requires less careful sawing, so there is a danger that you may not be quite so alert to irregularities in the wood and impose too much pressure on the saw.
• Use a table extender for large workpieces.
• When sawing large workpieces, support the workpiece at table level with a table extender.

Examples of problems arising from improper use of the saw bench

• Contact with rotating saw blade
• This can occur when the protective elements (such as the protective hood, the protection under the table surface, the riving knife, the push stick) are missing or are used improperly. Improper operation of the protective elements can result in accidents. When the machine is switched off, the saw blade may continue to rotate. There is a risk of your not noticing this because the appliance falls silent. That is why the protective hood is so important.
  • Recoil of the workpiece

• When the workpiece recoils it may hit those in the surrounding area at high speed. This may result in serious or even fatal injury. The workpiece may recoil for the following reasons (or a combination of them):

• The saw does not protrude far enough above the table surface, causing the workpiece to be guided directly into contact with the teeth of the saw that is itself moving in the direction of the user.

• The workpiece seizes on the saw because the riving knife is not fitted or incorrectly adjusted.
• There is no auxiliary saw rip fence (straight edge) or it is adjusted incorrectly. Because of this the wood may become stuck between the main rip fence and the rotating saw blade.

- Rotating saw blade breaks

• This can be caused by the following factors:
• An improper sawing procedure;
• An improperly adjusted saw blade;
• An improper method of operation;
- Processing material that is unsuitable for the saw bench.

• Metal parts under voltage Defective electrical installation may result in metal parts coming under voltage and causing fire.
- Damage to hearing when noise level is too high

A noise level that is too high may cause damage to the hearing of persons who are often close to the saw bench.

- Release of harmful wood dust.

Release of harmful wood dust or glue vapours may pose health risks. Connect a vacuum cleaner to the saw bench.

Turn the appliance off immediately in the event of:

• A faulty mains plug, mains flex or flex damage.
• A faulty switch.
• Smoke or smell from scorched insulation.
• Seizing of the saw.

Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Class II machine. Your machine is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm^2 . When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

3. Assembly instructions

Selecting the saw blade

Select a saw blade that meets European standard EN847. Make sure that it has the proper teeth.

In general you will be able to saw faster and less precisely with coarse teeth than with fine teeth. Make sure that the saw blade is sharp at all times in order to realize an optimum result.

Changing saw blades

Fig. 2

Check before fitting the saw blade that the mains plug has been removed from the electrical socket.

To change the saw blade proceed as follows:

• Loosen the two screws (A) from the sawdust collection bin (B).
• Remove the sawdust collection bin.
• Loosen the nut (C) from the saw blade with a spanner.
• Secure the spindle with a second spanner.
• Remove the flange (D).
• Remove the saw blade, moving it diagonally downwards.
• Check that the flange (E) behind the saw blade is in its correct position before fitting a new saw blade.
• Fit a new saw blade and carry out the foregoing procedure in reverse sequence.

Check when fitting the saw blade that the arrow on the saw blade is pointing in the same direction as the arrow on the sawdust collection bin.

Adjusting the riving knife

Fig. 3

Sawing will reduce the diameter of the saw blade. The space between saw blade and riving knife must however remain more or less constant. This means that you will have to re-adjust the riving knife from time to time.

To adjust the riving knife you should proceed as follows:

• Remove the inset piece (A) by loosening the screws (B).
• Loosen the screws (C) of the riving knife.
• Adjust the riving knife (D) so that the separation between the upper edge of the knife and the saw blade is at least 3 mm and at most 5 mm.
• Re-adjust the riving knife whenever the separation exceeds 5 mm.
  • Re-tighten the screws (C).
  • Refit the inset piece (A).

Adjusting angle of saw cut

Fig. 4

It is possible with the saw bench to saw at various angles, to a maximum of 45^ .

The saw-cut angle is set as follows:

• Loosen the knobs (A). These are located opposite one another on the sides of the saw bench.
• Adjust the saw blade to the angle required. The saw angle is displayed on the protractor (B).
• Tighten the knobs (A) once more securely.

4. Operation

When you depress the red off switch the saw bench will switch off. Depressing the green on switch will activate the saw bench. Should the mains power fail or when the plug is removed from the electrical socket, the safety switch will switch the appliance off immediately. The appliance will not activate automatically when the power is turned on again. The appliance will operate only when you depress the green on switch.

Dust collection

To keep the work surface clean, the saw bench is equipped with a connection for dust extraction. You can connect your vacuum cleaner to this.

Sawing

Fig. 5

Take care to keep your hands away from the saw blade when sawing.

When sawing proceed as follows:

• Loosen the knobs of the rip fence (A) on the table surface.
• Set the rip fence to the correct distance.
  • Re-tighten the knobs of the rip fence securely.
• Set the protective hood (C) to the appropriate height.
• Switch on the saw bench.
• Feed the workpiece, without imposing pressure on it, towards the saw blade. Support the section of the workpiece that has already passed the saw to ensure that it does not fall.
• When the rear edge of the appliance comes close to the saw blade, use the push stick (B)

to feed the workpiece further. Use at all times the push stick for small workpieces.

- Switch off the saw bench when you have sawed the workpiece.

Mitre guide

Fig. 6

The mitre guide (A) allows you to place the workpiece on the table at an angle of 45^ allowing diagonal saw cuts to be made. You can for this purpose secure the mitre guide to the guide (B) (Fig. 6).

5. Maintenance
