Guide Rail System (Fig. A1, J)
The guide rails
, which are available in different lengths,
28
allow for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect the
workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled
cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be completed with the
guide rail system.
Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a secure hold
and safe working.
The guide clearance of the track saw must be very small
for best cutting results and can be set with the two rail
adjustment knobs
5
.
1. Release the screw inside the rail adjustment knobs
adjust the clearance.
2. Adjust the knob until saw locks on rail.
3. Rotate knob back until saw slides easily.
4. Hold the rail adjustment knob in position and lock the
screw again.
nOTE: AlWAYs readjust the system for use with other rails.
Anti-Splinter Guard (Fig. J, K)
The guide rail
28
is equipped with an anti-splinter guard
which has to be trimmed before the first use.
The anti-splinter guard
is situated on each edge of the
30
guide rail (
28
, Fig. J). The purpose of this anti-splinter guard
is to provide the user with a visible blade cut line while
reducing the chipping that occurs along the workpiece cut
edge during cutting.
iMPORTAnT: AlWAYs read and follow the Guide Rail
System instructions before cutting the splinterguard!
1. Set the speed of the track saw to level 7.
2. Place the guide rail
28
on a scrap piece of wood. Use a
clamp to ensure that the guide rail is securely attached
to the workpiece. This will ensure accuracy.
3. Set the track saw on 13/64" (5 mm) cut depth.
4. Place the saw on the rear end of the guide rail.
5. Turn the saw on, press it down to the set cutting depth
and cut the anti-splinter guard
in one continuous operation. The edge of the anti-
splinter guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting
edge of the blade.
To trim the anti-splinter guard on the other side of the
guide rail, remove the saw from the rail and rotate the rail
180°. Repeat steps 1 through 4.
nOTE: If desired, the splinter guard can be bevelled to 45°,
then repeat steps 1 through 4. This allows one side of the
rail for cutting parallel cuts and the other side of the rail is
tuned in for 45° bevel cuts (Fig. K).
nOTE: If the anti-splinter guard is trimmed for parallel
cutting on both sides, then when the unit is bevelled, the
blade will not run true to the edge of the anti-splinter
guard. This is because the pivot point of the unit bevel
is not stationary and the blade moves out when the unit
is bevelled.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS
secure the guide rail with a clamp.

Speed Adjustment (Fig. A2)
The speed can be regulated between 2500 and 4200 rpm
using the speed wheel
19
. This enables you to optimize
the cutting speed to suit the material. Refer to the following
chart for type of material and speed range.
Type of Material to be Cut
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboards
Laminated wood, blockboards, veneered and coated boards
Paper and carton
Door Cutting (Fig. L)
1. Place the track saw with the outer guard
flat floor.
2. Press the shoe

with the front side on the door against
the adjusted depth stop.
