Track Guide
c. Insert track guide clamps into the slot
from each end of the track guide, then
tighten the clamps to secure the track
guide to the workpiece (Fig. 5).
WARNING
Only use the included
track guide clamps to
secure the track guide. Using any other
clamps may create a risk of injury and/or
property damage.
d. Slide the saw onto the track guide and
turn the guide slot adjustment knobs
of the saw clockwise to minimize the
gap between the slot in the saw foot
and the raised rib on the track guide,
and make sure that the saw can
slide freely on the track guide without
swinging sideways (Fig. 6).
e. Set the cutting depth 3/16” (5 mm)
deeper than the depth you desire, to
allow for the thickness of the track
guide.
WARNING
Before cutting with
the track guide, be
sure to firmly lock the bevel lock lever
and depth lock lever to avoid cutting into
the guide itself.
f. Switch on the saw and wait until
the blade reaches its full speed. Guide the saw uniformly with a slow feed rate
through the end of the track guide.
g. Take extra care when placing saw on portion of the track guide that extends
beyond the leading or ending edge of the workpiece.
h. Allowbladetocometoacompletestopbeforeremovingthesawfromtheguide.
NOTE: The anti-splinter edges are replaceable. Always replace the worn edges
with the new ones to minimize splintering of the workpiece.
Replacing Anti-splinter Edge
Theanti-splinteredgeshelpminimizesplinteringoftheworkpiece.Tofunction
properly, they must be replaced when they are worn or damaged. Use commercially
availableadhesiveanti-splinteredge(alsocalled“splinterguard”).
Storage
The hanging holes on the track guides are designed to hang the track guide(s) to
preventaccidentaldamage.
