STEP 1
Carefully cut the track to length using a
hacksaw or other metal saw. Ensure that the
cut is clean and straight.
STEP 2
Insert the bending tool so that the track
conductor fits in the outermost slot at the tip
of the bending tool.
STEP 3
Rotate the bending tool 90 degrees upward.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all four conductors.
STEP 4
Bent conductors should look similar to the
factory finished ends, as shown.
STEP 5
Confirm correct bending by inserting the
opposite end of the tool in the end of the
track.
The standard length TEK track is supplied with the
conductor ends factory bent to allow for proper
connection of fittings. However, the track can
easily be field cut to different lengths with a
hacksaw or a circular saw intended for cutting
aluminum. After cutting, the conductor ends must
be bent in the field with the Nordic XTSV 12
bending tool.

If track is field cut, it may become necessary to drill new
mounting holes. If so, use one of the off-cut pieces with
existing mounting hole as a template for new hole to be drilled.
The drill bit should be no larger than ¼ inch in diameter. The
hole should be centered in the groove in the bottom of the
track. Remove burrs after drilling. Hole location should be in
accordance with the note below.
NOTE: A single section of the track that is 4 feet or less in
length must have one mounting opening spaced a maximum
of 6 inches from each end of the track section. Additional
openings may be provided. A single section of the track that is
greater than 4 feet in length is to be provided with mounting
openings spaced a maximum of 12 inches from each end of
the track section with additional openings provided a minimum
of every 4 feet along the length of the track section.
