THICKNESS OF THE
BLADE
A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent
blade for all general ripping and crosscutting operations. Use a fi ne-
tooth blade for cutting plywood.
WARNING: VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE BLADES BEFORE
USE. REPLACE IF DAMAGED.
Track Saw System (Fig. 1)
The tracks, which are available in different lengths, allow for precise,
clean cuts and simultaneously protect the workpiece surface against
damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled cuts, miter
cuts and fitting work can be completed with the track saw system.
Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a secure hold and safe
working.
RIVING KNIFE
THICKNESS
The guide clearance of the track saw must be very small for best
cutting results and can be set with the two track adjusters (J).
1. Release the screw inside the track adjuster to adjust the clearance.
2. Adjust the knob until saw locks on track.
3. Rotate knob back until saw slides easily.
4. Hold the track adjuster in position and lock the screw again.
NOTE: ALWAYS readjust the system for use with other tracks.
Anti-splinter Strip
The track is equipped with an anti-splinter strip, which has to be cut to
size before the first use:
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the track saw system
instruction before cutting the anti-splinter strip!
1. Set the speed of the track saw to level 5.
2. Place the track on a scrap piece of wood.
3. Set the track saw on 3/16" (5 mm) cut depth.
4. Place the saw on the rear end of the track.
5. Turn the saw on, press it down to the set cutting depth and cut the
anti-splinter strip along the full length in one continuous operation.
The edge of the anti-splinter strip now corresponds exactly to the
cutting edge of the blade.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS secure the track
(W) with a clamp.
Speed Adjustment (Fig. 1)
The speed can be regulated between 1750 and 4200/min using the
speed wheel (S). This enables you to optimize the cutting speed to
suit the material. Refer to the following chart for type of material and
speed range.
