  • Page 3: General Safety Rules

    GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE- TY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read and understood.
  • Page 4 GENERAL SAFETY RULES 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled foot- wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instruc- tions for lubricating and changing accessories.
  • Page 5 SPECIFIC RULES FOR TRACK SAWS 7. Never hold a workpiece in your hands or across your legs during sawing operations. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. 8. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.

  • Page 6: Save These Instructions

    SPECIFIC RULES FOR TRACK SAWS 14. Make sure the blade you are using is the correct type for the material being cut. Do not cut logs or shrubbery with this saw. Only cut flat workpieces. 15. Always make sure that the cutting path, including underneath the workpiece, is free of obstructions before cut- ting, particularly during plunge cuts.

    ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accesso- ries, or checking a function on the tool. WARNING: 6-1/4 in. is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle.
  • Page 10 ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS SETTING UP THE TRACK 1. Using the track adapters, link together enough track to account for the entire workpiece. To do so, insert the track adapters into the inner grooves of each rail. Once the tracks have been connected together, flip the track over and check that the adapter is split evenly between the two tracks.

  • Page 11: Riving Knife Adjustment

    ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS RIVING KNIFE ADJUSTMENT The riving knife helps prevent kickback by keeping the two sides of your cut from closing on the blade. Before operation, make sure the riving knife is properly aligned with the blade. This requires checking the distance be- tween the blade and the riving knife, making sure it is no greater that 1/8 of an inch.
  • Page 12 OPERATION WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is turned off. Accidently start- ing the saw could result in injury. TO START THE SAW After checking the correct alignment of the riving knife and blade, plug in the tool. In order to start the saw, pull the trigger switch.

  • Page 14: Changing The Blade

    OPERATION PLUNGE CUTS A plunge cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the work- piece rather than starting from an outside edge and working inward. Adjust the cutting depth and the riving knife accordingly. 1. Adjust the bevel setting to zero. 2.
