WALL SAW SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING THE TRACK
1.
Locate the cut line on the wall.
WARNING!
Before cutting or drilling, be sure there are no electric,
gas, or water lines in the area you are working. Cutting a
live wire could cause electrocution, injury or death.
2.
Locate a second line from the cut line in accordance with table 3 and place 1/2”
anchors for the track feet on this line.

Stiffened Track

3.
Locate a second line 12-1/2” from the cut line, on the side you will cut from. Place
1/2” anchors for the track feet on this line. For Longyear style feet used with non-
stiffened track, the anchor bolt should be 8-1/2” from the cut.
4.
Thru-bolt the mounting foot on brick or concrete block walls. Use a back-up plate
if needed to ensure a secure mounting. Read and follow the safety rules and
mounting procedure provided by the anchor manufacturer.
5.
Use leveling screws to correct for unevenness in the walls and provide stability for
the mounting feet. The head of hex head leveling screws should be against the
wall to prevent damage to the screw threads.
6.
Mount the track on the wall with the rack on the cut side. Normally, two track feet
will be sufficient on each track section however, with the non-stiffened track, a
third foot may be needed when mounting the 90” or 122” length to reduce flexing
when using large blades or cutting difficult materials. When using stiffened track,
attach the track stop bolt into the stiffener at the top end of the track. (This acts
as a safety stop in case the track slips.)
MOUNTING THE SAW
1.
The saw rides the track on ten rollers, six fixed and four moveable. It is guided on
the track by two fixed rollers and two adjustable slides.
2.
Before mounting the saw, be sure the moveable rollers are in the “out” position.
3.
Place the saw on the track with the pinion on the saw engaging the rack.
4.
Push the moveable rollers to the “in” position to lock the saw onto the track.
Check that the saw is secure and tight. If necessary, adjust the rollers or slides as
follows:
