For your safety

WARNING!

Before using the power tool, please read and follow:

– these operating instructions,
- the "General power tool safety warnings" on Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery - Safety - Part 1: General requirements (EN62841-1),
– the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents.

This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations.

Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may be a danger to life and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged.

The mitre saw may be used only

-asintended,

– in perfect working order.

Faults which impair safety must be repaired

Intended use

The mitre saw is designed

– for commercial use in industry and trade,
- for making cross cutting, bevel cutting and compound cutting
– for cutting wood products and plastics
- to be used with suitable blades

Specific Safety Warnings for Mitre Saw

■ Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, suds, etc. abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks form abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
■ Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
■ The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
■ Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.

■ Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
- Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
- Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
■ Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
- Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
■ Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
- Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
■ Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than

the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

- Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.

■ The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by and means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

■ Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.

■ Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.

If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.

■ After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

Additional Safety Warnings for Mitre Saw

■ Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
■ Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognisable.
■ Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can occur when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently coming into contact with the saw blade.

■ Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when opened.
■ Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc. from the sawing area while the machine is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the machine off.
■ Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is damage of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the workpiece.
- Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
■ Operate the power tool only when the work area to the workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects that come in contact with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator with high speed.
- Keep the floor free of wood chips and material remainders. You could slip or trip.
■ Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of your hand to the rotating saw blade is too small.
■ Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed under Intended Use. Otherwise, the machine can be subject to overload.
If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the machine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the workpiece may not be moved until after the machine has come to a complete stop. Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw blade before restarting the machine.
■ Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
■ Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

■ Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
■ Never operate the machine without the insert plate. Replace a defective insert plate. Without flawless insert plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
■ Store the machine in a safe manner when not being used. The storage location must be dry and lockable. This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from being operated by untrained persons.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
■ Never leave the machine before it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause injuries.
■ Instructions to avoid overheating the saw blade tips and, if cutting plastics is permitted, to avoid melting the plastic.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration vaues have been determined in accordance with EN62841. The A evaluated noise level of the power tool is typically:

– Sound pressure level L_pA : 90 dB(A);
- Sound power level L_WA : 101 dB(A);
- Uncertainty: K = 3 dB.
– Total vibration value:
- Emission value a_h : 0.88 m/s
– Uncertainty: K= 1.5 m/s

CAUTION!

The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.

NOTE

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. For a precise estimation of the vibration load the times

should also be considered during which the power tool is switched off or even running, but not actually in use. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

CAUTION!

Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).

NOTE

The mitre saw was completely adjusted at the factory. However, during shipment, slight misalignment may have occurred. Check the following settings and make adjustments, if necessary, prior to using the mitre saw.

Aligning the Scale for Mitre Angles (see figure I1-I2)

• Position the saw head to the closest position in relation to the fence. And use the arm-lock pin to secure the saw head in place.
• Set the mitre table at 0^ , and set bevel angle of saw head at 0^ .

Checking: (see figure I1)

- Position 90^ corner of a combination square between the fixed fence (14) and the saw blade on the mitre table (16).

The leg of the square must be flush with the saw blade over the complete length.

Adjusting (if necessary): (see figure 12)

• Loosen all three screws (I-1) with the supplied double-ended allen wrench and turn the mitre table together with the mitre scale (17) until the leg of the square is flush with the saw blade over the complete length.
  – Retighten the screws again.

When the mitre-angle indicator (19) is not in line with the 0^ mark of the mitre scale after adjusting, loosen the screw (I-2) with a T25 Torx wrench (not included) and align the angle indicator alongside the 0^ mark.

Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 0° (Vertical) (see figure J1-J2)

- Position the saw head to the closest position in relation to the fence. And use the arm-lock

pin to secure the saw head in place.
- Set the mitre table at 0^ , and set bevel angle of saw head at 0^ .

Checking: (see figure J1)

• Position 90° corner of a combination square between the mitre table and the saw blade, ensure it be placed close to fixed fence.
• The leg of the square must be flush with the saw blade over the complete length.

Adjusting (if necessary): (see figure J2)

Loosen the hevel lock knob (34) Avoid unintentional starting of the machine, Adjust the setscrew (1-1) in or out by using g adjustments on the saw, always the supplied double ended allen wrench, ve the battery pack from the saw. until the leg of the square is flush with the saw blade.

- Once the angle is set, retighten the bevel-lock knob.

In case of the bevel-angle indicator (10) is not in line with the 0^ mark of the bevel scale (9) after the adjustment, loosen the screw (J-2) by using a T25 Torx wrench (not included) and align the angle indicator with the 0^ mark.

Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 45° (Vertical) (see figure K1 and K2)

NOTE

This mitre saw can be tilted to left or right side. In general, the checking and adjusting method are the same. Right bevel need to rotate the bevel-stop lever (11), that is the only difference between them.

Here raise the right side as an example:

• Position the saw head to the closest position in relation to the fence. And use the arm-lock pin to secure the saw head in place.
• Set the mitre table at 0o.
• Move the right sliding fence (13) all the way out along the horizontal direction.
• Rotate the 45^ stop block (32) completely to the rear of the saw.
• Loosen the bevel-lock knob (34) and rotate the bevel-stop lever (11) to the other side to pull it out.
  – (For the left bevel this step should be skipped)
• Tilt the tool arm by main handle rightward to the stop (45°).

Checking (see figure K1):

- Place 45° corner of combination square between the saw blade and mitre table. The leg of the square must be flush with the saw blade over the complete length.

Adjusting (see figure K2):

• Adjust by tightening or loosening the bevelstop bolt (33) on the tool with a 5mm hex wrench (not included).
• Retighten the bevel-lock knob and push the bevel-stop lever (11) in.

In case the bevel indicator (10) is not in a line with the 45^ mark of the scale (9), firstly check the 0^ setting for the bevel angle and the angle indicator again. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45^ bevel angle.

Adjusting Mitre-Angle

The use of mitre-control lever (see figure L)

The mitre-control lever can be positioned in three positions. If take the horizontal position as a start point, lift it to get upper position. Press it down to get lower position.

Horizontal position

• For the most commonly used angle 0^, 15^, 22.5^, 31.6^ , and 45^ right/left mitre angle, the mitre-detent pin (L-1) can be fully engaged into the notch on the mitre scale.
• For other angle, the mitre - detent pin will override the mitre detents.

Upper position (also known as unlocked position)

- The mitre-detent pin doesn't work anymore, at this moment the mitre table can rotate freely.

Lower position (also known as locked position)

- The mitre table should be secured in place.

Adjusting the mitre-table to the most commonly used angle

• Adjust the mitre-control lever to the upper position and hold it in place, move the mitre table close to the desired most commonly used angle.
• Release the mitre-control lever, it will go back to horizontal position automatically. Hold the mitre-control lever continue to rotate the mitre table toward the desired angle, until the mitre-detent pin is snapped into the detent.
• Press down the mitre-control lever to secure the mitre table in place.

Adjusting the mitre-table to other angle

The mitre angle can be set in the range from

48^ (left side) to 48^ (right side).

• Adjust the mitre-control lever to the upper position and hold it in place, move the mitre table close to the desired angle.
• Press down the mitre-control lever to secure the mitre table in place.

Adjusting Bevel Angles (see figure M)

NOTE

This mitre saw can be tilted to left or right side. In general, the adjusting method are the same, except the bevel-stop lever (11) need to be rotated to let the saw head go to the right side.

Here raise the right bevel as an example:

• Loosen the bevel-lock knob (34).
• Rotate the bevel-stop lever, and place it in rest position.
• Hold the saw arm and tilt to the desired bevel angle.
• Tighten the bevel-lock knob.

i NOTE

The bevel angle of this saw can be set range from 48^ (left side) to 48^ (right side). To get the angle more than 45^ , just simply turn the 45^ stop block (32) completely to the front of the saw.

Adjusting the tightness of Mitre-control Lever (see figure N)

i NOTE

This adjustment was made at the factory and, under normal circumstances, it does not require re-adjustment.

To adjust

• Raise the saw arm by releasing the arm-lock pin.
  – Lift the mitre-control lever.
• Remove the three screws (N-1) securing the insert plate (N-2) with the supplied double-ended allen wrench, and remove the plate and set aside.
• Locate the lock nut (N-3).
• Using a 3mm pin, insert into the hole in the lock nut, adjust by tightening or loosening the lock nut until the proper amount of tension in the mitre-control lever is attained.
  – Reinstall the insert plate.
• Press the mitre-control lever down to lock the mitre table in place.

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.

a Set the mitre table at 0^ position, secure the mitre table in place. Lock the saw head in the closest position in relation to the fence.

e Release the arm-lock pin, press the saw arm the fully down position, then release the saw arm, it will springs back to the uppermost position. Repeat this process for several times, to ensure the lower blade guard work properly, without binding, jam.

Crosscut and mitre crosscut with or without sliding function (see figure T)

A crosscut is a cut made across the grain of the work piece.

• For narrow workpiece, it can be cut through by a single cut. Perform this kind of cut by using non-sliding cutting method, tighten the sliding -lock knob (35) to fix the saw head in the closest position in relation to fence.
• For wide workpiece, release the sliding-lock knob, so that the saw head can slides along its guide rods from the most distant point to closet position in relation to the fence to perform the cut.

A straight crosscut is a cut made with the mitre table set at the 0^ position. Mitre crosscuts are made with the mitre table set at an angle other than 0^ , either left or right. Mitre angle setting see related section:

Adjusting Mitre-Angle

Here raise a most complicate example: mitre crosscut with sliding function.

WARNING!

Never pull the saw toward you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on top of the work piece and force itself toward you

a Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b Properly position the work piece. Make sure the work piece is clamped firmly against the table and the fence.
c Turn the mitre table to desired angle, and secure the mitre table in place.
d Loosen the sliding-lock knob
e Attach the battery pack to the saw.
f Grasp the main handle and turn on the on/off switch. Always allow the blade to

reach full speed before cutting.

g Lower the saw arm all the way down, and cut through the edge of the work piece.
h Push (but do not force) the saw arm toward the fence all the way to the rear position to complete the cut.
i Release the On/Off switch. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before returning the saw arm to the raised position, then remove the work piece.

Bevel Cutting (see figure U)

A bevel cut is a cut made across the grain of the work piece with the blade at an angle other than 90^ to the mitre table and the work piece. A straight bevel cut is made with the mitre table set at the 0^ position and with the saw head set at a bevel angle.

Here raise a straight bevel cut without sliding function as an example:

a Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b Properly position the work piece. Make sure the work piece is clamped firmly against the table and the fence.
c Set the mitre table at 0^ position, secure the mitre table in place. Lock the saw head in the closest position in relation to the fence.
d Tilt the saw head to desired angle, tighten the bevel-lock knob.
e Attach the battery pack to the saw.
f Grasp the main handle and turn on the on/off switch. Always allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting.
g Lower the saw arm all the way down, and cut through the work piece.
h Release the On/Off switch. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before returning the saw arm to the raised position, then remove the work piece.

Compound Cutting (see figure V)

A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time.

a Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b Properly position the work piece. Make sure the work piece is clamped firmly against the table and the fence.
c Rotate the mitre table to desired angle and secure the mitre table in place. Lock the saw head in the closest position in relation to the fence.

d Tilt the saw head to desired angle, tighten the bevel-lock knob.
e Attach the battery pack to the saw.
f Grasp the main handle and turn on the on/off switch. Always allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting.
g Lower the saw arm all the way down, and cut through the work piece.
h Release the On/Off switch. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before returning the saw arm to the raised position, then remove the work piece.

Cutting grooves (see figure W1, W2)

a Remove the battery pack from the saw
b See the related section :Setting Cutting-Depth to set the desired depth of cut
c Space the work piece away from the fence with a wooden spacer. This will allow for a complete groove to be cut. Be sure the work piece is fully supported.
d Attach the battery pack to the saw.
e Cut the two outside edges of the groove.
f To create the groove, use a wood chisel or make multiple passes with a router to remove the material between the outside edges.

Transporting

WARNING!

Remove the battery pack from the saw before transporting mitre saw to avoid possible injury.

Preparing to lift the saw

• Set the bevel angle at 0^ and lock it in place, using the bevel-lock knob.
• Turn the mitre table to either 45^ right or 45^ left and lock it in place with the mitre-control lever.
• Set the saw head to the closest position in relation to the fence.
• Lock the head assembly in the transport position with the arm-lock pin.
