ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
USING THE TRACK LOCK
The track lock is an added measure to prevent the track
saw from separating from the track during operation.
1. Pull upwards on the track lock knob and rotate it
counterclockwise (so the arrow on the knob points to
the 0 on the base), then set the track saw onto the track.
2. Once the saw is sitting properly on the track, pull up-
wards on the track lock knob and rotate it clockwise (so
the arrow on the knob points to the 1 on the base). This
hooks a small plate on the base of the saw under the lip
of the track, preventing the saw from separating from
the track.
USING THE FINE-ADJUSTMENT CAMS
(FIG. 14)
There are two fine-adjustment cams on the base of the
saw to help eliminate play between the track guide rail
and the track slot on the base of the saw.
1. Loosen the fine-adjustment cam knobs, then move
the lever on the cam all the way to the left or the right.
Tighten the knobs.
2. Set the track saw on the track, ensuring that the track
rail enters the slot in the saw base.
3. Loosen the knobs and move the lever on each cam to
take any play out of the track saw’s movement. The saw
base should be snug against the track rail. Tighten the
knobs to lock the cams in place.
4. Move the saw forward along the track, ensuring its
movement is smooth. Repeat step 3, if necessary, if ad-
justments are needed.
NOTE:
some tracks’ rails may be wide enough that the
saw cannot be placed on the track without removing the
cams. If this is the case, unscrew the knobs and remove
the cams.
ANTI-KICKBACK CAM (FIG. 15)
For your safety, an anti-kickback cam is included on the base of the saw. The cam is designed to prevent backwards
movement of the saw along the track, and therefore kickback that can result from this movement. If you are not
making a cut and need to easily slide the saw backwards along the track, turn the cam knob so the arrow points to
the 0 (disengaged) position on the base, hold it in this position, then slide the saw backwards.
NOTE:
The cam is spring-loaded and should return to the 1 (engaged) position automatically.
