MEANS OF ASSEMBLY

The joining is performed by using metal wedges, a Cassese inven-
tion, designed to ensure very tight corners. Seven sizes are available :
3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15 mm. They come in throw-away cartridges
that are colour-coded per size for easy identification. Cartridge
wedges exist in two versions : NORMAL for soft and normal timbers
and HW for very hard timbers. These hardwood wedges are to be
used only on hardwoods. Your CS 59 machine is designed to use all
sizes of Cassese cartridges without having to change any parts on the
machine or having to adjust anything.
For the long term performance and reliability of your CS 59, only use
genuine CASSESE cartridge wedges. Beware of counterfeit products.
LOADING AND CHANGING THE WEDGE CARTRIDGE ON MACHINE
Pull the wire with ball of the wedge pusher spring F (fig.2, p1) fully out.
If there is a cartridge on machine, holding the wire pulled out, remove it by simply sliding out
the cartridge.
Holding the wire pulled out, put a new cartridge on machine and pay attention that it is fully
inserted in the wedge distributor's window.
Release gently the wire with ball of the wedge pusher spring F.

JOINING THE FRAME

After selecting and setting the stapling positions (page 6 & 7), adjusting the assembly
angle (page 8), checking the distance between the top presser and the moulding (page 8)
and loading the best suited type (normal or hardwood) and size of wedges (page 9),
1- Put the first (left-hand) moulding in front of the fence B1 and push it so that its mitre end
reaches the other fence B2.
2- Holding it so, put the second moulding chop against fence B2 and slide it until it reaches the
first moulding.
3- Holding the mouldings in place against each other, hold the backfences B1 & B2 with your
thumbs and make the angle assembly slide backwards until the lever P1 reaches the limit stop B.
You can eventually tighten the intermediate lever P3 to be sure that the position remains fixed.
4- Still holding the mouldings well profiled against each other, push the foot pedal P (Fig 2,
p.1) . If you intend to stack a second (or third) wedge in the same position, just push the
footpedal again. In this case using (tightening) the lever P3 will enable you to stack them more
easily.
5- If there is a second stapling position chosen (with lever P2), just repeat the same operation
by pushing forward the mouldings and the angle assembly of the machine until P2 reaches the
limit stop B. And repeat step 4 above.

MAINTENANCE

1) LUBRICATION

Periodically, remove the wedge distributor (Fig 1, block H) and clean it (by air gun).
It is recommended to lubricate the hammer (driver blade) periodically. To do so, remove the
wedge distributor (blockH) and put a small quantity of grease in the bottom hole of the wedge
distributor. The hammer will be lubricated every time it crosses the wedge distributor.
CLEARING OF A WEDGE STUCK IN THE WEDGE DISTRIBUTOR
2)
If you push the foot pedal half way and release, a wedge may be half engaged in the wedge
distributor. In this case,
- Try to remove the cartridge that is in position. If it resists, use the wedge removal tool to push
down the wedge back in the cartridge.
- Pay attention not to make penetrate the tool more than 6mm (¼") into the wedge distributor.
It is important not to leave a wedge half engaged in the wedge distributor, as it may cause the
insertion of two wedges when you join the next corner or may cause the jamming of the
hammer (the driver blade) in the wedge distributor.
- In case of the hammer (driver blade) jamming with a wedge in the wedge distributor, see the fol-
lowing section (3).
