Frequently Asked Questions - FRS-600N Ferm

How do I change the saw blade on the Ferm FRS-600N?

Disconnect the tool from the power supply. Loosen the blade clamping screw using the supplied 3 mm hex wrench. Insert the new blade with the locking pin in the hole, then tighten the screw securely.

How can I adjust the cutting speed?

Use the thumb wheel (speed control) while the tool is running or off. The speed can be set between 700 and 2300 strokes per minute depending on the material.

What is the pendulum action and how do I adjust it?

Pendulum action moves the blade in an orbital motion for faster cuts. Adjust it using the pendular button (levels 0 to III). Level 0 is for straight cuts, higher levels for soft materials.

How do I tilt the baseplate for bevel cuts?

Loosen the adjusting screws on the baseplate, tilt to the desired angle (up to 45°), then retighten the screws. The baseplate can also be extended for more stability.

What safety precautions should I take when using this jigsaw?

Always wear eye protection and ear plugs. Ensure the workpiece is secure. Never touch the blade while it is moving. Disconnect the power before changing blades or cleaning.

How do I clean and maintain the jigsaw?

Keep ventilation slots clean to prevent overheating. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth and mild soap. No lubrication is required. Have repairs done by qualified personnel.

What should I do if the motor gets hot?

Check if cooling air slits are blocked with dirt and clean them. If the problem persists, the motor may be damaged; contact a service center.

Can I use this jigsaw for cutting metal?

Yes, with appropriate blades. For metal, use a fine-tooth blade and set the pendulum action to level 0. Use cutting oil to reduce friction.

What type of blades does the FRS-600N use?

It uses T-shank blades (common jigsaw blades). The blade must have a hole for the locking pin. Suitable for wood, metal, plastic, and other materials.

What does the warranty cover and how long does it last?

instructi

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the risks in this manual.

Denotes risk of electric shock.

Carefully read this manual before using the machine. Make sure that you know how the machine functions and how to operate it. Maintain the machine in accordance with the instructions to make sure it functions properly. Keep this manual and the enclosed documentation with the machine.

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. Keep these instructions in a safe place!

WHEN PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO OPERATION:

1. Check if the switch is not in "ON" position before you connect the mains plug to the mains voltage.

2. Always keep the power cable away from moving parts of the tool.

SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF

1. Malfunction in the mains plug, power cable or damaging of cable.
2. Broken switch
3. Smoke or stench of scorched insulation.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Always check if your mains voltage corresponds with the value on the type plate.

The machine has been double-insulated in accordance with EN 50144; therefore, an earth wire is

not necessary.

When replacing old cables or plugs

Throw away old cables or plugs immediately as soon as new ones have replaced these. It is dangerous to put the plug of a loose cable into the socket outlet.

When using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable that is suitable for the machine's power. The cores must have a diameter of at least 1.5 mm ^2 . When the extension cable is on a reel, unroll the cable in its entirety.

OPERATION

(RE)PLACING THE BLADE

Fig.B

Make sure the plug is not in the socket outlet.

• Release the blade clamping screw using the 3 mm socket head wrench.
• Place the saw blade between the supporting rod and the clamping plate.
  • Fit the locking pin of the supporting rod in the hole of the saw blade. (The saw blade cannot be pulled out).
• Tighten the blade clamping screw again.
• When replacing the saw blade, make sure the blade holder is free from material residue (like wood or metal splinters).
  • Before use, always check if the saw blade is fixed properly.

USE

Fig.C

Make sure the saw blade is not resting upon objects or can come into contact with these, when the switched on.

Switching on

- Retract the switch (4).

Switching off

- Release the switch.

- For continuous operation, the pull switch can be locked by pushing the switch-locking button while retracting the switch.

- Pull the pull switch again to discontinue the locking.

SPEED CONTROL

• When the machine is in operation or when it is switched off, the speed (sawing speed) can be adjusted with the thumb wheel (5). The speed remains constant, even when the machine is used.
• The required speed depends on the material conditions. The optimum adjustments can be found during use.
  • After operating at low speed for a longer time, you must let the machine cool down by leaving it running idle for approximately 3 minutes at full speed.

ADIUSTING PENDANT

For an optimum saw result you must adjust the way in which the teeth of the saw blade grabs hold of the material. You can do this by adjusting the pendant.

- Soft material (wood, synthetic materials, etc.): adjust the pendant to level II or III. For a sharp saw-cut use pendant level 0 or 1.

- Medium-hard material (hardwood, aluminium, etc.): adjust the pendant dependent on the use. For thin material use pendant level 0 or 1 if rasp or knives are used.

- Hard material (steel, etc.): adjust the pendant to level 0.

You can adjust the pendant level while the machine is in operation.

ADJUSTING THE BASEPLATE ANGLE

Fig.D

- To let the baseplate follow properly and rest on the workpiece with certainty, you can adjust the baseplate's angle according to enclosed drawing.

- The baseplate can also be extended by loosening the two adjustment screws with the 4 mm socket head wrench (figure A8) and subsequently extending the baseplate to the desired length.

Make sure that the baseplate's fastening screws are fixed tightly before using the machine again.

SAWING TIPS

• Adjust the saw blade and the speed to the material to be processed. For rectangular curves it is recommended that you use a thin saw blade. Use cooling agent or lubricant to prevent the saw from slamming along the saw line of the material.
• Check wood, chipboard, building material, etc. for the presence of unusual objects (nails, screws, etc.) before starting to saw. Remove these, if necessary.
• Secure the material properly. Never support the workpiece with the hand or the foot. Never touch objects or the floor while the saw is still running (danger of backlash).
• It is not allowed to saw material containing asbestos!
• Place the baseplate onto the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with a constant contact pressure of the foot. When the saw blade gets jammed, switch off the machine immediately. Make the hole bigger using proper tools and subsequently pull out the saw blade.
• When you have finished with the work, switch off the machine and do not put it down until it has come to a complete standstill.
