ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
C. SCRIBE CUTS
1. Turn the mode selector switch to the scribe cut func-
tion; see “Mode Selection” on page 13.
2. Press the plunge lock button (Fig. 4) and plunge the
saw downwards. It will stop at a 2.5mm (0.1 in) depth
of cut.
NOTE:
An initial scribe cut (before additional cuts) helps
prevent friction on the blade, particularly when deep
plunge cuts are required. It is also helpful for initial cuts
on veneered or melamine laminates.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE (FIGS. 5 & 6)
The saw can be beveled between 0° - 45°.
1. Unplug your track saw. Loosen both bevel lock knobs
(Fig. 5). Bevel the saw so that the indication arrow is
pointing to the desired angle on the bevel scale.
2. Tighten both bevel lock knobs to lock the bevel angle
into place.
3. Make a test cut in a piece of scrap material. Measure
the angle of the cut to confirm that the bevel angle is
properly set. If necessary, re-adjust the bevel angle be-
fore cutting the actual workpiece.
NOTE:
The bevel indication arrow should be properly
adjusted at the factory. If you find that it is inaccurate,
adjust it using the steps below.
1. Make a test cut. Measure the bevel angle.
2. Loosen the Phillips-head screw on the bevel indica-
tion arrow. Adjust the arrow so that it points to the angle
of the cut. Tighten the screw.
LINE-OF-CUT INDICATORS (FIG. 7)
Two line-of-cut indicators can be found on the base of
the track saw. These notches help you to align your cuts.
1. Mark your cut on your workpiece. Locate the line-of-
cut indicators on the front and back of the base plate.
