Frequently Asked Questions - JSM1026 Ferm

How to charge the battery of the Ferm JSM1026 jigsaw?

Plug the charger CDA1095 into a mains socket. Insert the 12 V Li-ion battery into the charger. The red LED indicates charging, green signals it is complete. Charging takes 3 to 5 hours. Then unplug the charger and remove the battery.

How to install and remove the saw blade?

To install a blade, turn the clamping ring of the blade holder fully to the left and hold it. Insert the blade into the blade holder, then release the ring. To remove the blade, repeat the operation and remove the blade. Ensure the blade holder is free of debris.

What types of blades can I use with this jigsaw?

Use T-shank blades suitable for the machine. For wood, choose fine-tooth blades for curved cuts. For metal, use specific blades. Do not use HSS steel blades or damaged blades.

What is the maximum cutting depth in wood?

The maximum cutting depth in wood is 25 mm. Do not exceed this limit to avoid damaging the blade or machine.

How to reduce vibrations during use?

Hold the machine firmly by the insulated handle. Use sharp blades in good condition. Clamp the workpiece properly. Allow the machine to reach full speed before starting the cut. The measured vibrations are 3.33 m/s² on wood and 3.98 m/s² on metal.

Is the battery interchangeable with other Ferm tools?

This saw uses a specific 12 V 1.5 Ah Li-ion battery. Check compatibility with other Ferm tools as not all models share the same system. Only use the recommended battery to avoid risks.

What to do if the saw blade gets stuck?

Immediately release the switch to stop the machine. Do not force the blade. Wait for it to come to a complete stop, then remove the battery. Check that the blade is not damaged and the workpiece is not too hard. Never use the machine without the protective guard.

Can I use the jigsaw on metal?

Yes, it can cut metal with an appropriate blade. The cutting depth is limited by the stroke of 13 mm. The vibrations on metal are 3.98 m/s². Wear protective equipment and secure the workpiece firmly.

How to clean and maintain my Ferm jigsaw?

Before any cleaning, turn off the machine and remove the battery. Clean the housing with a soft cloth. Clear the ventilation slots of dust. Clean the blade regularly for precise cutting. Replace worn or damaged blades immediately.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR JIGSAWS

• Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection and if necessary other protective means, such as safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.
  Before use, remove all nails and other metal objects from the workpiece.
  Make sure that the workpiece is properly supported or fixed.
• Do not use the machine without the guard.
• Inspect the saw blade before each use. Do not use saw blades which are bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
  Make sure that the saw blade is properly mounted.
  Only use saw blades that are suitable for use with the machine.
  Only use saw blades with the correct dimensions.
• Do not use other accessories than saw blades.
• Do not use saw blades made of HSS steel.
• Do not use the machine on workpieces requiring a maximum sawing depth that exceeds the maximum sawing depth of the saw blade.
  Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cuttingaccessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock
• Let the machine run at no load in a safe area after mounting the saw blade. If the machine vibrates strongly, immediately switch off the machine and try to solve the problem.

Battery tool use and care

a)Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

For the charger

Intended use

Charge only CDA1094 type rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

a)The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction

b) Children being supervised not to play with the appliance

c) Do not recharging non-rechargeable batteries!

d) During charging, batteries must be placed in the well ventilated area!

Kickback

Kickback is the upward and backward movement of the saw blade when the saw blade unexpectedly touches an object.

Securely hold the machine during use.

Keep your attention focused on the operation.

Kickback is usually caused by:

• unintentionally touching hard objects or materials with the rotating saw blade;

a blunt saw blade;
- a saw blade that is not properly mounted;
- sawing into a previous cut;
- a lack of attention to the operation;
an instable stance.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

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

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for the power rating of the machine with a minimum thickness of 1.5mm^2 . If you use a extension cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

Vibration level

The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of

exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned

using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level

Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
