TRACTION STRIPS
It is important that the two rubberlike
strips on the bottom of the tracks maintain
their ability to minimize the possibility of
the track shifting during a cut. If one or
both of the strips become worn, they
should be replaced. The traction strip roll
is 11 feet (3.35m) long.
A.
Pull out both end caps 44 and 45 and
remove the worn out strips (Fig. 25).
B.
Unroll and cut two lengths of traction
strip 49 that are 1% longer than the
length of the track. E.g. for FSN800 the
length of strip should be 80.8cm/31.8"
(Fig. 25).
C.
Place a light coating of soap on the new
strip to make it easier to slide in the
grooves on the bottom side of tracks.
Pull the strip though the groove to the
far end of the track. Cut off the excess
strips (Fig. 26).
D.
Re-insert both end caps 44 and 45.
TRAVEL STOP FOR TRACK
The travel stop 52 (sold separately) can be
used to limit the saw's range of travel
(cutting distance) on a track. The stop can
be used to help set the starting location of
plunge cut or the end point of the cut.
A.
Align the track along the intended cut
line and clamp into place as described in
"Securing Tracks" on page 23.
B.
Orient the stop on the track as shown
(Fig. 27).
C.
Determine the desired start point or end
point for the cut.
D.
Position the saw such that it will sit in
the position where the plunge cut is
supposed to start or end.
E.
Once the saw placed in the desired
location, tighten the stop 52 in place
using its lever (Fig. 28).
Move the saw forward to continue the cut
until the desired endpoint. When the
desired end point is reached, pull the saw's
head up, and it will retract to the starting
position, and the plunging mechanism
becomes locked again.
