Depth-Of-Cut Adjustment - Flex FX7141A Operator's Manual

SLIDE-RAIL LOCK KNOB (FIG. 7)
The slide-rail lock knob is located on the rear of
the sliding mechanism.
When engaged, it locks the system in either
the full forward or the full back position and
prevents movement while transporting the saw.
When held in the full back position, the saw is
more compact for lifting and storage. The full
back position is also often used for performing
chop cuts.
a. Loosen the slide-rail lock knob to slide
the head assembly through the sliding
mechanism forward or backward to the
desired position.
b. Be sure to tighten the slide-rail lock knob
after the desired position is reached.

DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENT

(FIG. 8a & 8b)
When a new blade is installed, it may be
necessary to check the clearance between the
blade and the table structure. The depth stop
plate is a feature provided to allow for (normal)
full-depth cuts or non-through cuts used to cut
grooves.
To use the depth stop:
a. Remove the battery pack.
b. If the saw is in the storage or transport
position, release (pull out) the head assembly
lock pin and allow the head assembly to rise
fully.
c. Push the depth-stop up.
d. Grip the main handle and push the head
assembly down while watching the depth-of-
cut bolt contact the top surface of the depth-
stop.
e. Rotate the depth-of-cut bolt (while the
threaded end is in contact with the depth
stop) and watch the bottom of the saw blade
move. This adjustment sets the depth of cut.
f. When making normal, full-depth cuts, push
the depth-stop down.
