ADAPTING THE FOOT PLATE TO
VARIOUS TRACKS
The GKT18V-20GC is designed specifically
for precision straight cutting while using a
track for guidance.
The Bosch tracks (sold separately) are
available in five sizes:
FSN800
FSN1100
FSN1600
FSN2100
PREPARING TRACK
Prior to using a track for the first time, the
track's rubber anti-splinter edge 42 must
be adapted to the specific saw and blade
to be used.
A.
Place the complete length of track onto
a scrap workpiece that is at least 3/4"
(19mm) thick.
B.
Secure the tracks as described in
"SECURING TRACKS" further.
C.
Place the saw onto the tracks and adjust
the accuracy of its fit using the two
groove alignment sliders 31 (Fig. 5).
-
Forward movement of the sliders
tightens the fit of the saw's footplate
on to the track's guiderail
-
Backward movement of the sliders
loosens the fit of the saw's footplate
on to the track's guiderail.
D.
Move cutting-depth indicator 8 to its
upper position (See Fig. 22).
E.
Adjust the saw's cutting depth to
approximately 0.36" (9 mm) and the
bevel angle to 0°. This will result in the
blade extending 1/8" (3mm) below the
anti-splinter edge 42 (Fig. 6).
F.
Following the instructions in the
"SWITCHING ON AND OFF" section on
page 24, switch on the saw and guide it
uniformly with a slow feed rate through
the end of the track.
