ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING!
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your track saw. Failure
to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.

DUST COLLECTION (FIG. 1)
A dust collection bag (not included) or vacuum system
should be used at all times. The inner diameter of the dust
port adapter is 35mm; the outer diameter is 39.5mm.
1. Locate the dust port on the track saw.
2. Insert the dust port adapter into the dust port. Position
the adapter so the dust hose or bag will not interfere with
your work.
3. Securely attach a dust bag or vacuum to the end of the
dust port adapter. If using a vacuum, make sure to turn it
ON before starting your cut.
MODE SELECTION (FIG. 2)
The mode selector switch enables fast and easy setting of
major functions by simply rotating the switch to the desired
mode of operation. The functions include:
A. Blade changing (see page 18 for instructions)
B. Free plunge, for general cutting
C. Scribe cut, for a scribe cut 2.5mm (0.1 in) deep
B. FREE PLUNGE MODE (FIG. 3)
Cutting depth can be set between 0” - 2.64” (67mm).
NOTE:
Always maintain an appropriate blade-depth set-
ting. The blade teeth should never protrude more than 1/8”
below the material being cut, as excessive blade depth in-
creases the chances of saw kickback or contact with hidden
surfaces beneath the workpiece.
1. Turn mode selector switch to the free-plunge setting (Fig.
2). Unplug your track saw. Loosen the depth adjustment
knob (Fig. 3 - 4) and slide it up or down so the indication
arrow (Fig. 3 - 2) points to the desired depth on the depth
scale (Fig. 3 - 3).
2. If you are using the saw with the track, turn the track compensation lever (Fig. 3 - 2) clockwise to the lower posi-
tion to compensate for the thickness of the track. If you are using the saw without the track, turn the track compen-
sation lever counterclockwise to the upper position.
3. Tighten the depth adjustment knob to lock it into place. Test the depth setting on a piece of scrap material to make
sure it is correct before plugging the saw back in.
