ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

4. Guide the two free halves of the track adapters onto

another piece of track (Fig. 10) and tighten the hex

screws on the face side and the underside (Fig. 11).

5. Align the track along the workpiece, the right-hand

(flat) side of the track is where the actual cut will occur.

Clamp down the track to the work surface so the track

is secure.

6. Place the saw onto the track. Make sure the blade will

contact the workpiece as intended.

7. Use the fine-adjustment cams to line up the track's

edge and the saw’s cutting path with one another. Refer

to page 17.

CUTTING THE RUBBER STRIP

The rubber strip running along the edge of the track

comes in its uncut original state. This rubber strip has

two main applications. Firstly, it acts as a straightedge,

allowing users to visualize the exact location of the cut.

Secondly, it helps prevent dust from flying up during

sawing operations. Because of the precision required for

these two applications, users must cut this rubber strip

themselves before using the track saw on any workpiec-

es. This ensures every track perfectly complements a

particular track saw.

1. Turn the mode selector switch to the free-plunge set-

ting, see "Mode Selection" on page 13. Set the depth stop

to 1/2", limiting the blade’s maximum cutting depth.

2. Clamp the track into place so that you can cut the full

length of the track in one go.

3. Position the saw onto the end of the track with the

back two-thirds of the saw hanging off. The goal should

be to maximize the amount of the saw’s base that is on

the track while still being able to plunge the full 1/2"

downwards without yet contacting the rubber strip with

the blade (Fig. 12).

4. Start the saw and then plunge downwards, making sure to not yet contact the rubber strip. Once the saw has

reached full speed and is plunged the full 1/2", progress forward along the track so that the blade makes contact

with the rubber strip.

5. Cut the rubber strip along the full length of the track. Once you have made it all the way down the track, the strip

should be precision-cut to meet the specifications of your particular track saw.
