• 1 x User Manual (this document)

Setup

Proper setup ensures accurate and safe operation of your track saw guide rail system.

Unpacking

• Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
• Inspect all parts for any signs of damage. If any parts are damaged, do not proceed with assembly and contact customer support.
• Ensure all listed package contents are present.

Connecting the Guide Rails

To achieve a longer cutting range (up to 55 inches), connect the two guide rails using the provided connector.

1. Align the ends of the two guide rails on a flat, stable surface.
2. Slide the guide rail connector into the T-slots on the underside of both rails.
3. Use the included hex wrench to tighten the screws on the connector, securing the rails firmly together. Ensure there is no gap or misalignment between the joined rails.

Operating

Follow these steps for effective and precise cutting with your VEVOR Track Saw Guide Rail.

Placing the Guide Rail

• Place the assembled guide rail on your workpiece, ensuring the cutting line is accurately aligned with the edge of the rail.
• The underside gripping strip helps to prevent the rail from shifting during operation.

Using with a Track Saw

• Position your compatible track saw onto the guide rail. The saw should slide smoothly along the rail.
• The low-friction glide strip on the rail reduces resistance, allowing for smooth saw movement.
• The chip guard strip minimizes edge splintering and chipping, resulting in cleaner cuts.
• For VEVOR track saws, the 45° locking function can be engaged for angled cuts. This feature is not available with other brands.
• Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the guide rail is stable before beginning a cut.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your guide rail.

Cleaning

• After each use, wipe down the guide rails with a clean, dry cloth to remove sawdust and debris.
• For stubborn residue, use a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the aluminum or plastic components.
• Ensure the glide strip, chip guard strip, and gripping strip are free from obstructions.

Inspection and Storage

• Periodically inspect the guide rails for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Pay close attention to the integrity of the strips and the connector.
• Store the guide rails in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• When storing, ensure the rails are laid flat or hung securely to prevent warping.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your VEVOR Track Saw Guide Rail.

Saw Gets Stuck or Does Not Slide Smoothly

• Check for Debris: Ensure the guide rail's T-slots and the saw's base are free of sawdust, chips, or other obstructions. Clean thoroughly.
• Verify Compatibility: While compatible with many brands (Makita, Festool, WEN, Milwaukee), some specific models may have slight variations. Ensure your saw is designed to work with standard track saw guide rails. Some users have reported issues with certain Festool and WEN models due to minor dimensional differences.
• Inspect Glide Strip: Check if the low-friction glide strip is damaged or worn. A damaged strip can impede smooth movement.

Rails Do Not Connect Seamlessly

• Ensure Proper Alignment: Make sure the ends of the rails are perfectly aligned before inserting the connector.
• Tighten Connector Screws: Use the hex wrench to fully tighten the connector screws. Loose screws can cause misalignment.
• Inspect Connector: Check the connector for any bending or damage that might prevent a flush connection.

Inaccurate Cuts

• Secure Workpiece and Rail: Ensure both the workpiece and the guide rail are securely clamped and do not shift during the cut. The non-slip gripping strip aids stability, but additional clamps may be necessary for some materials or setups.
• Check Rail Straightness: Inspect the guide rails for any signs of bending or warping.
• Saw Blade Condition: Ensure your track saw blade is sharp and appropriate for the material being cut.
