Assembly / Operation - Triton AJA 300 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

Loosen the round knob on the blade guard and adjust
the guard forward or backward until the teeth on the
jigsaw blade are just in front of the two wooden guide
blocks, then tighten. Loosen the two Phillips screws
in the blade guard and move the guide blocks in until
they almost touch the sides of the blade, then tighten.
See Fig. 2.
In use: Guide blocks can be re-adjusted, reversed
and rotated closer to the blade as they wear down.
Replacement blocks can be ordered from your Triton
stockist, alternatively they can be made from any fine
grained hardwood.
OPERATION
• Always disconnect your jigsaw from power
when making any tool adjustments.
• Wear eye and ear protection and a dust mask whenever
operating power tools.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery when operating
power tools. Long hair should be tied back.
• If the power switch on your jigsaw does not
permanently lock on, use tape or a releasable cable tie
to hold the switch on during operation. Alternatively a
trigger strap (part no. AGA001) can be ordered through
your Triton stockist.
• Always adjust the overhead arm to suit the thickness
of your workpiece. Loosen the arm clamp and set the
height of the arm until it rests on top of your workpiece,
then tighten (Fig. 1).

• Do not over-tighten the arm clamp. This will allow the
arm to raise should the blade contact it during use,
avoiding blade breakage.
• Before turning on the jigsaw check that the blade
extends beyond the thickness of your workpiece at the
bottom of its stroke. At least one blade tooth should
GB
always project above the work (Fig.1) and the blade
should never exit the guide blocks. Failing to ensure
this can damage your blade, or cause the overhead arm
to spring up.

Dust Extraction
The Jigsaw Kit has been designed for use with any
vacuum cleaner for sawdust extraction. While the
stroke of the jigsaw forces most dust beneath the table,
connecting to a vacuum source provides better visibility
of the cut line and reduces airborne dust.
Screw the vacuum hose, supplied with your Router
Table, onto the dust port in the back of the blade guard
(left-hand thread) and plug the wand of your vacuum
cleaner into the hose adaptor. For a larger collection
capacity, consider fitting a Triton Dust Collector
(DCA300) to your vacuum.

• Regularly check that the blade is located centrally
inside the guard with the guide blocks close to the
blade but back from the blade teeth (Fig. 2).
• Keep fingers completely clear of the blade, including
the area behind the cut line.
• The overhead arm should be fitted and correctly
adjusted at all times.
• Never start the jigsaw with the blade touching the
workpiece.
• Remove all loose objects from the table before
operating to prevent them from vibrating into the cutter.
• Feed the workpiece slowly, particularly when cutting
along the grain, or when using fine toothed blades
(Fig. 3). Smoking or burn marks on the cut edges
indicate the curves were too tight, or the feed rate was
too fast. Overheating can dull a blade rapidly.

• Hold the workpiece firmly and evenly against the table
while guiding it smoothly through the blade.
