Figure 19 Let the saw reach full speed before contact- ing the workpiece. Doing so will reduce the risk of kickback, help provide the cleanest cut, and reduce stress on the saw motor. Figure 20 Figure 19. Note: The front and rear cutting indicator arrows are only accurate when the blade is fully extended.
Using Rail Track Figure 22 Note: The bottom of the rail track includes an oversized rubber lip that serves as a splinter guard. The first time the track saw is used with the rail, the saw blade will cut the edge of that lip to provide a zero-clearance effect, which will help minimize splintering.
