You are correct! However, there's some errata noting that this is a misprint in the core rule book! https://lancer-faq.netlify.app/#bf060b
On the sheet, I included an asterisk next to that check, which is followed up in a side-note stating how 'Free Action' is a misprint. Considering how much other stuff is packed in there, I don't blame you for missing it! I'm glad you brought it up, since if it was an error I would want to fix it right away (and if this is something several people run in to, I'll want to update the sheet layout to make it clearer).
