Place the FLEXI rail onto the workpiece. Knock
against the workpiece and align it on the tracing.
So as to fix the FLEXI rail, tighten the two clamping
claws 1 (Fig. 6) with the screw clamps.
Operating method
Set the cutting depth and cutting angle on the
machine.
Place the machine on the start of the FLEXI rail
such that the guide elements 1 (Figure. 4) of the
rail engage in the base plate groove.
Turn on the machine and push it evenly in the
direction of the cut.
Do not clean the FLEXI rail with
solvents. Non-skid coating may get
damaged.
5.8 Sawing shadow gaps
The minimum shadow gap width is:
-
if used without parallel stop 13 mm ( 33/64 in. )
-
if used with parallel stop 14 mm ( 35/64 in. ) (at
cutting depth of 0 - 32 mm / 0 – 1 ¼ in. )
-
if used with parallel stop 18 mm ( 45/64 in. ) (at
cutting depth of 32 - 42 mm / 1 ¼ - 1 21/32 in. )
Set the required cutting depth.
Retract the retractable saw guard with the lever
2 (Fig. 3) and set the machine onto the first
fitted workpiece.
Switch on the machine and push the machine
evenly in cutting direction, in addition using the
extraction device.
5.9 Sawing with parallel guide fence
When making parallel cuts, the parallel guide fence 4
(Fig. 1) serves to saw parallel to an already existing
edge. The guide fence can be attached to the left or
right of the machine. The cutting range on the right-
hand side amounts to approx. 65 mm ( 2 9/16 in. )
and on the left-hand side to approx. 250 mm ( 9 27/32
in. ).
Once you have unfastened the wing screws you
can adjust the cutting width 9 (Fig. 2) by moving
the guide fence accordingly and afterwards
retightening the wing screws.
Additionally, the parallel limit stop can also be used
as double support to improve machine guidance by
simply turning it around (guide face for the workpiece
edge is pointing upwards). Now the machine can be
guided along a lath fastened on the workpiece.
5.10 Sawing according to tracings
When sawing according to tracing, the right hand
edge of the guide rail serves as tracing indicator. This
also applies for bevel cuts. Please take note of
Section 5.4.
For sawing, place the guide rail onto the
workpiece.
Switch on the machine (see chapter 5.2) and
slide the machine evenly forward in the direction
of the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 1).
5.11 Sawing according to tracings without guide
rail
Danger
When sawing without guide rail it is
imperative to install the enclosed
parallel stop. It serves as double
support to improve machine
guidance and is for your safety.
Set the machine's cutting depth to at least 30 mm ( 1
3/16 in. ) and release the connecting cable from the
cable retaining bracket. Afterwards, you can remove
the machine from the guide rail to the rear by pushing
the locking lever 20 (Fig. 7).
The base plate has a tracing edge 10 (Fig. 3) both for
straight cuts and for bevel cuts. This tracing edge
corresponds to the saw blade's inside. For bevel cuts,
the tracing can be viewed through the opening on the
left-hand side of the upper saw guard.
Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.
Switch on the machine and slide the machine
evenly forward in the direction of the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 2 (Fig. 1).
