Hi greetings from the south west of Devon = help or advice please about Cassese Cs 89 underpinner
I have been interested in painting as is all my family and have been looking for a change of direction from 35 years of landscape gardening .
So I have started training my self to frame at a small workshop nearby and have been amazed how much there is to learn about the art of framing
I have just bought some framing equipment that has been lying in a shed for a couple of years a morso , keen cut etc which after cleaning oiling works fine
and a Cassese Cs 89 underpinner which is driving me mental http://theframersforum.com/posting.php? ... ilies&f=32#
it puts the nails in fine but keeps blowing the safety switch and leaking from the micro switch . posting.php?mode=post&f=34#
Does anyone know about these things
Anyone knows a retired Cassese Cs 89 underpinner repairer with cheap time on his hands
is there anyone who repairs these locally
at worse can I convert it to be a manual underpinner
should I sell it and get a manual one
i will be so grateful for your advice

I would be interested to know if there’s anyone else in my area interested in framing nr Exeter === Tipton st john = Sidmouth

It does not sound like anything serious, because as you say it is working apart from the air leak and the safety cut out operating.

Is it the microswitch it's self, which is leaking, or where the air hose connects to the microswitch? Washing up liquid and water is good for locating air leaks.

Usually microswitches are not servicable parts, so if the problem is the microswitch it's self, then the repair option is a new microswitch. Is the safety cut out operating, because the microswitch is not working properly?

thanks for the reply
its defiantly a knackered switch not the air lines there may be a problem with the safety switch itself
is there a repair service i can contact
do i have to contact cassese makers for parts

i think it should have a service really but cant find any one who can help on internet yellow pages etc
