Maintenance And Care - Flex RS 13-32 Notice D'instruction D'origine

 The saw has a cutting support. This helps
to reduce vibrations. It also enables
square cuts to be made.
 After the power tool has been switched off,
the saw blade continues running briefly.
 Never touch the saw blade straight after
use as it may be very hot.
Sawing metal
When sawing metal, use lubricant along the
cutting line. This stops the material from
overheating.
Sawing wood
Place the saw square on the workpiece.
Guide the saw with uniform pressure
through the wood, pressing the cutting
support against the workpiece in the
process.
Sawing directly at the wall
Thanks to the elasticity of bi-metal saw
blades it is possible to cut pipes flush with
the wall. To do so, use a saw blade of
sufficient length that exceeds the diameter
of the pipe. Position the saw blade flush with
the wall so that the kink point is outside the
workpiece to be sawn.
Plunge cuts
The saw is suitable for plunge cuts in wood
and plastic. Use only short saw blades
(<150 mm) to perform plunge cuts!
 Place the saw on the workpiece with the
bottom edge of the cutting support in
such a way that the saw blade does not
touch the workpiece.
 Switch on the saw.
 Press the cutting support firmly against
the workpiece and swing the saw
forwards.
18
Slowly plunge the saw blade into the
workpiece.
 When the cutting support is resting fully
on the workpiece, continue sawing along
the desired cutting line.
NOTE
Do not perform plunge cuts in metal.
Other information
– The use of "sharp" cutting accessories
increases performance and the service
life of the power tool.
– After work, clean the power tool and
store in the carry case in a dry location.

Maintenance and care

WARNING!

period, conductive dust may become
deposited inside the housing.
Clean the power tool and ventilation slots at
regular intervals. Frequency of cleaning is
dependent on the material and duration of
use.
 Regularly blow out the housing interior
and motor with dry compressed air.
