Preparation / Operating Instructions

Unpacking your tool

Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise

yourself with all its features and functions.

Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good

condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such

parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.

Dust extraction

• The saw is ﬁtted with a 35mm dia Dust Extraction Port

(3) suitable for use with Triton Dust Collection Bag

TTSDES or for connection to a vacuum system

• See page 11 for details of the Triton Dust Collection

Bag TTSDES

Note: The 120V USA model has a 32mm (1-1/4”) Dust

extraction port.

Mode selection

The mode selector barrel enables fast and easy setting of

the major functions simply by rotating the Mode Selection

Lever (20) to the required mode of operation:

Blade change

Free plunge, for

general cutting

Scribe, for a scribe

cut of 2.5mm /

⁄32"

depth

For details of use, see the relevant section in this manual.

Workpiece support

• Large panels and long pieces must be well supported

close to both sides of the cut to avoid pinching and

kickback

• Place the workpiece ‘best’ face down, so that if any

splintering occurs, it is more likely to occur on the face

that matters less

PREPARATION

Setting scribe mode

Scribe mode locks the depth of cut at 2.5mm /

⁄32". An

initial scribe cut helps to prevent friction on the blade,

particularly when deep plunge cuts are required. It is also

useful for the initial cut on veneered or melamine laminates.

• Rotate the Mode Selection

Lever (20) to Scribe position

• The plunge depth is now locked so that the blade

cannot be plunged deeper than 2.5mm /

⁄32"

Setting depth of cut

• Depth of cut may be adjusted from 0 – 55mm

/ 2-

⁄64". The depth can be set by direct reference to

the depth scale, which has been calibrated to take

account of the track, so no additional calculation is

required

• For best results, less than

a full blade tooth should be

visible below the workpiece

1. Loosen the Depth Lock (18)

and move it along the depth

scale until the pointer aligns

with the cut depth required

2. Tighten the depth lock ﬁrmly

3. The saw will now be able to plunge to the set depth

(when in free plunge mode)

Note: When accuracy is critical, use a set square to check

the depth and make test cuts on a scrap piece of material

Adjusting the bevel angle

• The bevel angle may be

adjusted from 0° - 48°

1. Loosen the Front and Rear

Bevel Locks (6 & 17)

2. Pivot the body of the saw

until the bevel angle pointer

adjacent to the front bevel

lock aligns with the bevel angle required on

the bevel scale

3. Tighten the front and rear bevel locks ﬁrmly

4. The saw is now secured ready for cutting at the bevel

angle required

5. Note: When accuracy is critical, use a set square to

check the angle and make test cuts on a scrap piece of

material

IMPORTANT: When making bevel cuts, it is essential to

lock the saw in the track. See ‘Making bevel cuts’ below

for details

Setting the speed

• The speed can be adjusted

using the Speed Dial (7).

This enables you to optimise

the cutting speed to suit the

material

• The chart below provides a

guide to choice of speed for

different materials:
