Place both
track feet
over the anchor holes and
tighten the bolts loosely.
4.
The height of the
fork
can be adjusted totally 12 mm
by turning the fork Clockwise or Counter Clockwise
to compensate for irregularities on the wall. Adjust
if necessary.
5.
When the
fork
is completely turned in, turn the fork
about 5 turns Counter Clockwise to make sure the
saw arm doesn’t touch the concrete.

13.
Adjust the
levelling screws
on the second

WARNING!
•
Be careful to position the sleeve nut in the bottom of the fork on the track foot.
This countersink at the bottom of the track foot is to prevent the track coming
off the track foot in case the sleeve nut is not tightened properly.
•
If tracks with only one gear rack are used, make sure all of them are
positioned correctly to engage with the travel gear on the wall saw.
•
Track stops must always be fitted at the end of the track.
!
Important!
The distance between the track feet should be no more than 2 meters / 79”. When
bigger blades than 1200 mm / 48” are used, we recommend setting the track feet
closer than 2 meters / 79”.
Note!
Be sure to check that the fork is aligned with the track and that there is no gap
which can cause the track to be warped and the blade to cut un-straight.
No gap!
