TRAK-STAR Twister Disposable Rail Cutters
Made from Premium H.S.S.
• Gold Coating for All Around Drilling
• Black Coating for Improved Performance
in New Harder Rail.
TRAK-STAR Rail Drills are designed to use Twister
Bits, and to achieve maximum effi ciency from your
unit, we recommend that no substitutes be used.
** Twister Bits are economical and disposable
--- there is no need to resharpen --- however it is
possible. Tools can be sharpened 2 to 3 times.
Send cutters to Trak-Star to the attention of the
Resharpening Department.
** Twister Rail Bits have been shown to drill holes
in rails up to 4X faster than twist drills or spade
drills, and they produce clean, round, burr-free
holes without the need to chamfer.
** Multiple cutting edge design, along with proper
coolant fl ow, produces a cool cut raising the rail
temperature in the hole no more than 35°F above
ambient temperature. This prevents work harden-
ing, stress cracking, service failures, and repeated
repairs.

1. Be sure engine is stopped and turned off. Turn off
coolant at shut-off. The spring seat system located
within arbor was not designed to be 100% leak proof.
2. Position arbor so the cutter area is easily accessible.
Do not depress pilot pin during procedure to release
seal. Doing so will result in releasing pressurized
contents of arbor cavity and coolant loss. Some loss,
however, is normal due to cavity between cutter shank
and spring seat.
3. Insert pilot in shank end of Twister Bit.
4. Insert the Twister Bit until long fl at on cutter shank is
aligned with roll pin inside arbor. Twist cutter clockwise
(do not depress pilot in case of cutter replacement for
reason noted in #2). The cutter is automatically held
into place.

5. Pressurize coolant bottle (approximately 20 pumps)
6. Open coolant shut off valve.
7. Depress pilot pin approximately 1/4” and watch for
coolant fl ow from the end of the cutter. NOTE - Coolant

RotaMagic™ Concentrate Cutting Fluid
A good fl ow of cutting fl uid to the tool is important. It cools
and lubricates the cutting edge, helps evacuate the chips,
keeps the slug from expanding, and helps eject the slug.
Various mineral and sulphur base oils are quite popular,
however, water base solutions have better cooling qualities.
Listed is our own recommended Concentrated Cutting Fluid
for Twister Bits and similar cutting tools. It is a water soluble,
biodegradable product. This cutting fl uid contains no ingredi-
ents that are on the U.S. Government Hazardous Materials
List. It is a super concentrated form that will require a 10:1
mixture of water.

POSITION.
(SEE FIGURE B)
STEP #3:
WHILE MAINTAINING CONTACT
BETWEEN SHOES AND RAIL,
TIGHTEN CLAMP.
(SEE FIG. C)
STEP #4:
WHEN UNIT IS FIRMLY CLAMPED,
CHECK FOR PROPER SHOE AND
PAD CONTACT ON BOTH SIDES
(SEE FIG. D)
WARNING: IMPROPER CLAMPING WILL CAUSE PREMATURE
CUTTER FAILURE
* When properly clamped to the rail there will be
a small gap between the top of the shoe and the rail.

Positioning of Optional Hole Location Template
Template is positioned on head of rail with tapered tip fl ush
with end of rail and side locking screws fastened to rail
head. Notches in template give precise location of hole
centerlines to be drilled.
The rail clamp assembly has a locating arm which rests
in the template notches. The locating arm is adjustable to
accommodate the full range of rail sizes.
To use the locating arm, raise the drill unit over the rail with
the template attached and gently rest drill down until shoes
make contact with the rail. Flip the arm to make contact
with the template. Slowly slide drill across the template
until the arm falls into notch.
The arm must contact the sides of the matching notch.
Following the Clamping Instructions, clamp unit onto rail.
When the hole is completed, raise the arm by fl ipping the
arm back toward the body of the drill. Before drilling next
hole remove chips around cutter. Then move the drill side-
ways, ensuring the arm is clear of the notch, and fl ip arm
down. Slide the drill sideways until arm falls in the next
notch, and repeat the procedure as necessary.
Note: The locating arm must be fl ipped back, resting
on the body of the drill before putting the drill unit on
the rail. Failure to do so can result in damage to the
hole locating arm system.
Hole location templates are offered as optional equipment.
Four of these templates are provided with established hole
spacings. The 40570 template is produced to customer
specifi ed hole spacing. See chart for the template to match
your application.

Operating Instructions
NEVER RUN ENGINE INDOORS OR IN ENCLOSED,
POORLY VENTILATED AREAS. ENGINE EXHAUST
CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS
AND DEADLY GAS.
KEEP HANDS, FEET, HAIR, AND LOOSE CLOTHING
AWAY FROM ANY MOVING PARTS ON ENGINE AND
EQUIPMENT.
WARNING - TEMPERATURE OF MUFFLER AND NEAR
BY AREAS MAY EXCEED 150°F (65°C). AVOID THESE
AREAS.
1. Make sure workpiece, cutter and shoe surfaces are
free of chips, etc.
2. Place locator template on rail head.
3. Align drill on locator with the Hole Location Template.
4. Clamp drill to rail and insure proper 10 point contact.
5. Turn on coolant (pump to pressurize system).
6. Move choke lever to “FULL CHOKE”. If restarting a
warm engine after a short shutdown, move choke lever
to “NO CHOKE”.
7. Turn motor on/off switch to “ON” position.
8. Move throttle to idle position.
9. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out, slowly, until it
meets resistance. Let rope rewind slowly. Then pull
rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope return to
starter slowly.
10. Repeat step #9 until engine fi res.
11. Move throttle to run position.
12. Manually feed cutter very gently to start cutting.
13. Once all teeth are cutting aggressively, feed tool
through workpiece at an even rate. Do not over-
load unit to induce an arbor stalling situation. Certain
rail compositions workharden easily. Do not pause
during cut nor release feed pressure if changing hand
grip on feed handle. This will result in premature
cutter wear and drilling problems while in the cut.
14. Move feed handle to retract arbor and cutter. Slug
should eject from spring loaded pilot pin pressure.
15. Move throttle to idle position.
16. At the end of the cut, move ignition switch on engine
to “STOP” or “OFF” position.
17. Loosen clamp and remove drill to clean chips from
around cutter. Drill cycle is complete and you are
ready to go on to the next hole. Shutting off coolant
after use is suggested, if use is intermittent.
If Slug Has Not Fallen Free
, disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug and shut off coolant supply. Use a
screwdriver to carefully fl ip slug by inserting it between
slug fl ange and cutter gullet. It generally will remove
easily while discharging a squirt of coolant. Avoid
prying with force, damage to the cutter and cutting
edge may result.
WHEN EQUIPMENT WILL NOT BE USED FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS, DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG
WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG AND KEEP IT AWAY
FROM SPARK PLUG.
NEVER STORE ENGINE WITH FUEL IN TANK
INDOORS OR IN ENCLOSED, POORLY
VENTILATED AREAS, WHERE FUEL FUMES MAY
REACH AN OPEN FLAME, SPARK, OR PILOT
LIGHT AS ON A FURNACE, WATER HEATER,
CLOTHES DRYER OR OTHER GAS APPLIANCE.

Important Notice
1. Make sure cutter is properly installed.
2. The #1 cause of premature cutter failure is improper clamping. (see page 7 for
clamping procedures.)
3. The # 2 cause of premature cutter failure is improper feed, usually feeding too slow.
4. Always use caution when contacting the rail with the cutting tool. Allow the cutter to
completely enter the rail before applying full feed pressure.
5.
GAS MUST BE SHUT OFF BEFORE TRANSPORTING DRILL.
