GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read and understood. 1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards. 2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation.
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. 9. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes.
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 cutting, particularly during plunge cuts. 16. Always adequately support the workpiece. 17. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accessories, 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. An overly thick blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger diameter blades will contact the blade guards.
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. Tighten the adapter’s set screws in place using a hex wrench. 2.
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 between the blade and the riving knife, making sure it is no greater that 1/8 of an inch. 1.
OPERATION WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is turned off. Accidently starting 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. Once the saw reaches maximum speed, press and hold the safety switch to allow for the saw to plunge downwards. WARNING: Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the work piece.
OPERATION CROSS-CUTTING AND RIP CUTTING Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of wood is called crosscutting and is likely the most common type of cut done with a track saw. Cutting wood lengthwise, or with the grain, is referred to as rip cutting (or also, simply just “ripping”). Both types of cuts are performed in the same manner with the exception of the methods used to support and secure the work piece for cutting.
OPERATION PLUNGE CUTS A plunge cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the workpiece 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. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting and position it where you would like your cut to occur. You will find three arrows along the side of the saw. The rear arrow (Fig. A - 1) and the front arrow (Fig.
