Description: This saw is optimally balanced for use without a guide rail. The handle is aligned with the saw blade, allowing for precise guidance along the cut and ensuring straight cutting results without the need for an additional rail system. It is particularly well-suited for typical applications in drywall construction and renovation work, such as cutting gypsum, cement board, or wood-based panels like formwork boards, particle boards, or OSB boards. The brushless motor provides higher efficiency and a longer lifespan. It is equipped with an 18.0 V EC motor that offers overload protection and temperature monitoring. The motor brake stops the saw blade in just 2 seconds, and the Electronic Management System (EMS) protects the machine, extends its lifespan, and increases its efficiency. The saw is compact and ergonomically designed, meeting the latest regulations for plunge cuts without the need to remove a riving knife. The cutting depth can be easily adjusted with a clamping lever, and the spindle lock allows for quick blade changes. There is also the option to connect an external dust extraction system, either with a Ø 27 mm connection or a step adapter. An LED display indicates the battery status. The saw is part of the FLEX battery system and can be operated with all FLEX 18V battery packs. However, the battery and charger are not included.
