Sliding Fence (see figure O)
CAUTION!
• Adjust and fasten the fences properly
before cutting.
The sliding fences (13) are adjustable to
accommodate different sized work pieces.
Loosen the fence-lock knob (26) on the
sliding fences away from the blade to make
sure that the blade can not contact the fence.
When making a crosscut or a mitre cut, move
the sliding fences closer to the blade to
better support the work piece. When making
a bevel cut, move fences away from the blade
to make sure that the blade can not contact
the fence.
Setting Cutting-Depth(see figure
P)
When used, the depth-control knob (8) limits
the downward travel of the saw blade when
cutting dadoes and other non-through cuts.
To use the depth guide
– With the bottom of the depth-control knob
touching the depth stop (P-1), adjust the
depth control knob by turning it until the
desired depth of cut is attained.
Saw operations
ON/OFF Switch (see figure Q)
For safety, the On/Off switch (3) is designed
to prevent accidental starts.
– To turn on the saw, press the lock-off button
(1) to disengage the lock, then squeeze the
On/Off switch.
– To turn off the saw, release the On/Off switch,
and allow the blade to come to a complete
stop.
WARNING!
• The blade should reach full speed before it
contacts the work piece.
• Make the On/Off trigger switch childproof.
Insert a small padlock or cable (not included)
through the hole (Q-1) in the On/Off switch,
locking the switch and preventing children or
other unauthorized users from turning on the
saw.
Laser Switch (see figure R1)
To turn on the laser, press the laser switch (4).
The laser will automatically turn off after
approximately 15 seconds after the laser
switch is released.
NOTE: The laser will automatically turn on
when the On/Off switch is depressed.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure R2)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the
saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of
the workpiece for sawing, without having to
open the lower guard.
– For this, turn the laser beam on with the laser
switch (4).
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece
with reference to the right-hand edge of the
laser line.
NOTE: The laser beam adjustments were
made at the factory and normally do not
require re-adjustment. If required, please
contact with FLEX Factory Service Center or
Authorized FLEX Service Station
Operation Instructions
WARNING!
Ensure that no interference occurs among the
saw blade, saw guard, saw head, fence, clamp
during cutting operation, if necessary, re-
position the fence and clamp.
WARNING!
If the board is warped, place the convex side
against the fence. If the concave edge of the
board is against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut
and jam the blade
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, always
keep hands outside the "No-Hands Zone," as
marked on the saw base. Also, never perform
any cutting operation "freehand".
Check the function of lower blade
guard (see figure S)
WARNING!
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
