ADAPTING THE FOOT PLATE TO VARIOUS
TRACKS
The GKS18V-25GC is designed specifically
for precision straight cutting while using a
track for guidance.
The Bosch tracks (sold separately) are
available in four 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.
D. Adjust the saw's cutting depth to
approximately 3/8" (9 mm) and the bevel
angle to 0°. This will result in the blade
extending 1/8" (3mm) below the anti-
splinter edge (Fig. 17).
E. Following the instructions in the
"Switch" section on page 17, switch on
the saw and guide it uniformly with a
slow feed rate through the end of the
track.
SECURING TRACKS
damage, only use the track clamps to
secure the track.
Once the track has been placed in the
desired position, insert a track clamp 50 in
from each end of the track, then tighten
the clamps against the workpiece (Fig. 18).
