ADJUSTMENTS
SELECTION OF WEDGE POSITIONS
The CS1 UNI is designed to join mouldings in one, two or more positions without
limitation of the number of wedges in any of those places. The selection depends
on the width and height of the moulding to join.
As a general rule, a MINIMUM 2 mm clearance (less than 1/8”) above the wedges
shall be respected.
Same size wedges can be stacked in order to avoid changing the size of wedge
when joining tall mouldings.
AS A GENERAL RULE, THE WEDGE POSITIONS MUST BE SELECTED
VERTICALLY TO THE HIGHEST POINTS OF THE MOULDINGS.
SETTING AND STORING THE WEDGE POSITIONS
Unlock the wedge position stop handles 5and 6.

Setting up the stapling position
close to the outside of the frame :
Move forward the sliding table Euntil the
place where you want to insert the wedge(s)
has been reached by the WEDGE EXIT (see
picture). Then bring the wedge position
stop handle 6against the stapling stop 10
and tighten it.
Setting up the stapling position
close to the inside of the frame :
Move backwards the sliding table Euntil
you have reached the furthest position to
the inside of the frame where you want to
insert wedge(s).
Then bring the wedge position stop handle
5against the stapling stop 10 and tighten it.
Now the two positions of joining are
set and the sliding table can move only
within the limits of these two positions.

PROPER ADJUSTMENT OF MAGNETIC ADJUSTABLE
ROD CLAMP ASSEMBLY
A magnetic adjustable rod
clamp comes with your
machine as a standard
feature. It ts the crossbar
thanks to the locking ring
pin and can be set at 1 to 7
positions.
You must have 30mm (1 1/4”)
max between the clamp and
the mouldings.
It helps to avoid any mistakes in
the joining of the frame.
ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED WITH THE MACHINE: Magnetic chevron clamp is ideal for at
mouldings or for hard to reach surfaces.
OPTIONS: The round clamps are dedicated to complicated forms and sloped mould-
ings.
NEW MAGNETIC

Now with quick-change magnetic
clamps, it is easy to change from

LOADING WEDGES
CHANGING SIZE OF WEDGES
USE
The CS1 UNI comes with 3 stapling heads, each corresponding
to a specic size of wedge, which are 7, 10 & 12mm.
The following procedure is to be followed for installing the
stapling head on the machine :
Insert the stapling head corresponding
to the size of wedge chosen and tighten
it with the 2.5mm Allen key.
Pay attention to install stapling head
with the at side at the top.
Using the 2.5mm Allen key provided,
unscrew the locking screw of the stapling
head located on the machine.
Remove the stapling head by pulling
it upwards.
MEANS OF JOINING
Joining is performed using metal wedges specially
designed to ensure perfect corners.
Five standard sizes are available: 5, 7, 10, 12 and
15mm (3mm wedges can be red with 5mm stapling
head) for softwood (SW), hardwood (HW) or MDF.
For the best corner join, reliability and performance,
use only Genuine CASSESE MASTERS™ wedges type
“UNI” with your CS1 UNI.

Turn handle for loading wedges 3 in
direction of arrow in order to bring
back wedges pusher.
While holding handle in this position,
insert strip of wedges into wedges
channel.
Then gently release the handle for
loading wedges 3.

Non contractual document - Cassese France®- Document non contractuel
JOINING THE FRAME
After selecting and setting the wedge positions (page 4 & 5), check the distance between the
clamp and the moulding (page 6). Load the required type (softwood, hardwood or MDF) and
size of wedges (page 4).
1st step : Put the rst moulding in front of the back fence 1and push it so that its mitre end
reaches the other back fence 2.
2nd step : Holding it so, put the second moulding against back fence 2and slide it until it
reaches the rst moulding.
3rd step : Holding the mouldings in place against each other, hold the back fences 1&2with
your thumbs. Move the sliding table E backwards until the wedge position stop handle 5
reaches the stapling stop 10.
4th step : Keeping the mouldings secure, slowly push down the pedal 7.
When the the magnetic adjustable rod clamp assembly 8will press down on the mouldings,
speed up the movement so that the wedge is inserted more easily.
5th step : If there is a second wedge position (with wedge position stop handle 6), just repeat
the same operation by moving forward the mouldings and the sliding table Euntil wedge
position stop handle 6reaches the stapling stop 10 and repeat step 4.
NOTE* : If stapling more than one wedge in any position is desired then repeat 4th step.

REMOVING WEDGES
First, take the
tool Z24322
“wedge-magnet”. Then, put the magnetic end into
the wedges to be removed and
pull them out after you have
pulled the handle for wedges’
loading 3in the direction of the
arrow.

MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION STAPLING HEAD
Periodically, remove the stapling head and clean it with an
air gun.
It is recommended to lubricate the wedge driver (use the
Cassese’s grease Z1896).
To do so, you will have to remove the stapling head with the
2,5mm Allen Key and perform this procedure.
CAUTION: WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
REPLACEMENT OF THE WEDGE DRIVER
Unlock the locking screw of the stapling head
with the 2.5mm Allen key that is supplied with
the machine. Pulling the head up, remove it
from the machine.
Inside the machine, using the 2.5mm Allen key,
loosen the two locking screws Aand Bholding
the wedge driver.
Apply some grease on the new wedge driver.
Remove excess of grease.
Then, follow the step in the order to install the
new wedge driver : 3, 2, 1.
Under the machine table, tighten back the lock-
ing screws Aand Bwith the 2,5mm Allen key.
Check the wedge driver installation, it must be able
to slide smooth with no resistance.
Install back the needed stapling head and lock it
using the 2,5mm Allen key.

Unscrew the 4 screws of
the working table with
the Allen Key 3mm.
Now, you can access to
the mechanical parts of
the machine.
Next, shift to one side
the working table.
Take the side panel and
remove it by pulling up.
To access more easily to the mechanical parts, you have to remove the side panel where
is located the sticker “Cassese France”. The following procedure is to be followed for
removing or replacing the side panel of the machine :

First, you must withdraw the side panel as explained previously. To replace more easily
the wedge distribution channel elastic cord, you have to follow these differents steps
which will be detailed :
First, you must need 2 tools :
-Socket spanner 7mm
-Allen key 4mm
Unscrew the nut (with the socket
spanner 7mm) which maintain the
elastic cord and the connection wire.
Now, the elastic cord is just
grasped by the last screw.
Push away the connection wire in
order to free the working space.
Unscrew the last screw with
the Allen key of 4mm.
Remove the elastic cord of the
screw.
In order to ret the system, do
the following steps in the reverse
direction.

SELECTION DE LA POSITION D’AGRAFAGE
La CS1 UNI est prévue pour procéder à l’agrafage des moulures à 1, 2 ou plusieurs
endroits sans limitation du nombre d’agrafes à chacun de ces emplacements.
Le choix sera fait en fonction de la largeur de la moulure à assembler et de
son épaisseur. Il est possible, toutefois, d’insérer des agrafes entre ces deux
positions .
On prévoit en règle générale une garde, de hauteur 2 mm MINIMUM, au dessus de
l’agrafe. Des agrafes de même dimensions peuvent se superposer, ceci pour éviter de
changer le chargeur d’agrafes si l’on réalise des assemblages de cadres d’épaisseur
diverses.
NB : DANS TOUS LES CAS, L’AGRAFAGE DOIT S’EFFECTUER LE PLUS PRES POSSIBLE
DE LA (OU DES) PARTIE (S) LA PLUS HAUTE DE LA MOULURE.
