CUTTING TRACKS
Evolution CCSX series machines (refer
to the Specification Page for applicable
models) have been engineered and
featured in such a way as to make them
Cutting Track compatible.
Note:
Any circular saw that is capable of being
used with a Cutting Track will have a channel
along the under surface of the sole plate
Evolution machines so equipped can be
attached to, and used with most Cutting Tracks
(Guides) currently available.
Note:
Consult the documentation supplied
with the track by the track manufacturer. The
supplied documentation will normally give
the assembly instructions for the track, as well
as information regarding the safe working
practices that need to be employed when
using such equipment.
Cutting Tracks can be employed where:
• The use of a chop or circular saw could
present Health and Safety (H&S) or other
practical workplace issues. For example
when working on a construction site
where very close and accurate control may
be necessary, (working on a roof or on a
scaffolding platform, etc.) using a cutting
track may provide the user with some extra
(and safe) operational possibilities.
• Accurate cuts across or along large
workpieces are required. For example on
frames, doors, large boards or wall panels,
etc, a cutting track/guide could eliminate the
need to use a circular saw in 'free hand' mode.
Evolution's cutting track compatible
Note:
machines have two (2) cams which project into
the sole plate channel (one at each end).
'Turn-buttons'
(Fig. 17)
allow the operator to
rotate these cams.
Adjusting these cams will reduce slightly the
effective width of the sole plate channel.
This could be necessary to accommodate any
slight variation of rail width that can occur
during the manufacture of the track extrusion.
Track rail widths produced by different track
manufacturers may also vary slightly.
Note:
The operator should adjust these cams so
that when the machine is placed correctly on
a track it can be moved forwards or backwards
easily and smoothly but without any lateral
movement (wobble) being detectable.

Some Evolution machines (depending upon
the model and market destination) are
supplied with a Cutting Track.
Evolution Cutting Tracks are available as a

customer purchase option. Contact your supplier
or Evolution Power Tools for further details.
THE TRACK
The Evolution Track system consists of two (2) or
three (3) precision extruded alloy sections.
These sections must be joined together
(Fig. 18)
using the joining bars supplied.
To Join The Sections Together (Fig. 19):
• Slide the bars into the 'T' slots found on the
under surface of the extrusions.
• Ensure that an equal length (approximately)
of the bars is inserted into both of the
sections to be joined together.
• Tighten the socket headed grub-screws to
secure the sections together.
Note:
It is important to leave a small gap
between joined sections of between 1 to 2mm.
This will ensure that when a circular saw is
placed upon and used with an Evolution Cross
Cutting Track it will slide smoothly along the
entire track length.
