▼ 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. 13).
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. 13).
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. 14).
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 13.
B. Orient the stop on the track as shown
(Fig. 15).
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. 16).
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.
