Operating Instructions
Precision Sawing With Track
The depth adjustment
system should be not
used to change the depth while the saw is
in operation, or for plunge cutting.
If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it
may cause binding and kickback.
The GKS18V-25GC can be used with the
B o s c h t r a c k s y s t e m t o e n h a n c e t h e
straightness of the cut (Fig. 15b).
•
Make sure that track
40
is prepared,
positioned and clamped as shown in
“Preparing Track” section on page 22.
•
Make sure that the saw’s footplate is
properly placed on track. This is
achieved when the
28a
slot on the
bottom of the saw is placed over the
raised ridge in the Bosch tracks (Fig.
15a). (The
28b
slot will fit over some
tracks from other manufacturers, but
we recommend that this saw be used
only with Bosch saw tracks.)
•
Take extra care when placing saw on
portion of a track that extends beyond
the leading or ending edge of the
workpiece.
•
Prior to removing saw from track,
raise saw head and retract blade first
and allow blade to come to a
complete stop.
