ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
USING THE TRACK LOCK
The track lock is an added measure to prevent the track
saw from separating from the track during operation.
1. Pull upwards on the track lock knob and rotate it
counterclockwise (so the arrow on the knob points to
the 0 on the base), then set the track saw onto the track.
2. Once the saw is sitting properly on the track, pull up-
wards on the track lock knob and rotate it clockwise (so
the arrow on the knob points to the 1 on the base). This
hooks a small plate on the base of the saw under the lip
of the track, preventing the saw from separating from
the track.
USING THE FINE-ADJUSTMENT CAMS
(FIG. 14)
There are two fine-adjustment cams on the base
of the saw to help eliminate play between the track
guide rail and the track slot on the base of the saw.
1. Loosen the fine-adjustment cam knobs, then
move the lever on the cam all the way to the left or
the right. Tighten the knobs.
2. Set the track saw on the track, ensuring that the
track rail enters the slot in the saw base.
3. Loosen the knobs and move the lever on each cam
to take any play out of the track saw’s movement.
The saw base should be snug against the track rail.
Tighten the knobs to lock the cams in place.
4. Move the saw forward along the track, ensuring
its movement is smooth. Repeat step 3, if necessary,
if adjustments are needed.
NOTE: some tracks’ rails may be wide enough that
the saw cannot be placed on the track without re-
moving the cams. If this is the case, unscrew the
knobs and remove the cams.

ANTI-KICKBACK CAM (FIG. 15)
For your safety, an anti-kickback cam is included on the base of the saw. The cam is designed to prevent
backwards movement of the saw along the track, and therefore kickback that can result from this movement.
If you are not making a cut and need to easily slide the saw backwards along the track, turn the cam knob
so the arrow points to the 0 (disengaged) position on the base, hold it in this position, then slide the saw
backwards. NOTE: the cam is spring-loaded and should return to the 1 (engaged) position automatically.
