Joining two or more track tracks together
If tracks are to be joined without a joint block the fork of the track foot should be positioned centrally under the
joint. True up the tracks carefully using a spirit level or a straightedge.
When using joint blocks, a track foot must be placed within 60 cm (2 ft) of the joint Block.
WARNING!
•
Joint Blocks are for connecting two tracks together and are not designed to
alone handle the full load of the saw when cutting, therefore, one track foot
must be mounted within 60 cm (2 ft) of all Joint Blocks).
•
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.
Mounting the saw head on the track
a.
Lifting handle x 2

Lower track rollers
The saw head runs on the track on four track rollers. The upper track rollers are fitted on eccentric shafts, opened
and locked by moving the handles sideways.
1.
To open the
lifting handles
, lift up the
locking pins
using the index fingers, and fold the
handles outward
from the saw
until they lock the most outward, open
position.
2.
Fold the saw head onto the track, the
bottom track
rollers
engaged first, and second the
upper track
rollers
.
3.
Move
saw head
slightly along the
track
to engage the
travel gear
with the gear rack.
4.
Lift up the
locking pins
, slightly move the
locking pins
and move the
lifting handles
toward the saw, until
they are engaged in locked position.
WARNING!
Before the saw is operated, always make absolutely sure that the lifting handles
are locked in position to prevent the saw from falling off the track.
Note that if a track with only one gear rack is used, it must be positioned in the
right direction to engage with the travel gear on the wall saw. Failure to fulfil this
requirement may lead to the saw head traveling along the track which potentially
could cause severe bodily injury or death.
