Adjusting the height
of the track feet.
The height of the fork can be adjusted totally 12 mm by turning the fork
CW or CCW, to compensate for irregularities on the wall. Please be sure
that the fork is not threaded all the way out before the track is mounted.
Leave at least ½ a turn or preferably 5 turns from the fully out or in
position.
Mounting the track:
The track is mounted using clamp screws which fit into the fork of the
track foot. At least two feet must be used to mount one track and the
distance between the track feet should not be more than 2 meters (6.5ft).
When bigger blades than 1200 mm (48”) are used, we recommend
setting the track feet closer than 2 meters (6.5ft).
The clamp screws are fitted in T-slot clamps running in T-slots at the rear
of the tracks. These T-slot clamps can be locked in any position by
means of a knurled knob.
A clamp screw is fitted in to the fork and should be tightened to 50 Nm
(fairly hard) with a 19 mm (3/4”) spanner.
Important
!
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, the cut to be uneven and the feed regulation to be
bad.
Warning! Be careful to position the clamp screw in the countersink of the yoke on the
Joining two or more
tracks together:
If tracks are to be joined when making long cuts the yoke of the mounting
foot should be positioned centrally under the joint. True up the tracks
carefully sideways using a spirit level or a straightedge.
Using Joint Blocks
When using Joint Blocks a track foot should be used within 60 cm (2 ft) of
the Joint Block.
Important! Joint Blocks are for connecting two tracks together and are not designed to
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).
