Cannot understand the rules in maxima (maxima hanging on few rule applications)

But sum(_f(_i),_i,1,_k) will not match with 1 or the subsequent S(_f)..
then why does it run forever? The reason I am not using s1, is because I
have to apply rule to expressions like k*sum(f(i),i,1,n) where k=2,3,...,
or any polynomial independent of i.
Do you have any suggestion to implement it?
Thanks,
Dileep
