Intended Use

An effective saw table capable of mitre, bevel and cross cutting. Includes Protractor Gauge and Rip Fence. Suitable for
cutting wood and wood-like materials only. For use with the Triton Workcentre TWX7 and accessories.
Avoid blade overheating
• Always check the condition of the blade prior to any cutting operations. Ensure the blade is sharp and is the
correct type of blade for the material. If the blade is blunt, replace or have professionally sharpened (if applicable)
• During cutting operations, run the tool without load for 15-20 second intervals to ensure the air cools the blade
• Take extra care when cutting hardwood. Harder materials generate more resistance and more heat on the blade
and motor, so ensure more frequent air cooling intervals are applied

Module levelling screw installation
• Place the Contractor Saw Module on a secure flat surface, and install the Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (23),
Module Levelling Screws (28) and the Module Rollers (11) as depicted in Fig. A
Installing & removing the module
WARNING: When carrying the Contractor Saw Module, use the Hand Slots (21).
Note: In order to insert/remove the Contractor Saw Module, the Saw Blade (2) needs to be in the 45° position. See
'Blade adjustment' for detailed instructions regarding alteration of the blade angle.
Module installation:
WARNING: Lower the Saw Blade (2) to a safe height position before installing or removing the Contractor Saw
Module.
WARNING: Some modules are heavy, especially with power tools installed. ALWAYS grip the module using the
Hand Slots (21), ensuring secure footing and upright positioning. Avoid awkward movements when removing and
fitting modules.
IMPORTANT: Always lower modules carefully using both the provided Thumb Holes (20). Uncontrolled lowering can
cause Workcentre, module and power tool damage as well as possible injury to the operator.
WARNING: Do not place fingers and/or body parts between the module and the Workcentre chassis. See Fig. B
• Slide the Module Rollers (11) into the Module Mounting Guides and carefully lower the module into place, see Fig. B
• Toggle both Module Locks into the locked position, Fig. C
Note: Ensure the Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (23), are correctly located in the bobbin locators. The Module
Levelling Screws (28) need to be adjusted to remove play between the module and the workcentre chassis.
Module removal:
• Toggle the Module Locks into the 'unlocked' position. Lift the module from the chassis using the Finger Holes, and
slide the Module Rollers (11) from the Module Mounting Tracks, see Fig. B
Levelling table modules
• Level the module by adjusting the Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (23), and Module Levelling Screws (28) in the
order depicted in Fig. D
• Check the module is level with the Table Surface using a straight edge, as depicted in diagram Fig. E. If the module
is still uneven, repeat the above process
Assembling the Contractor Saw Module
• See Figures A – L combined with the information below to assemble the Contractor Saw Module.
Riving knife installation
WARNING: Ensure the Riving Knife (6) is correctly locked into place before use.
1. With the Saw Blade (2) in the 0° position, raise the blade to its maximum height using the Blade Height Winder (13)
2. Loosen the hex screw located at the infeed end of the Kerf Plate (25), and use the Kerf Plate Access Hole (22) to
release the plate, Fig. F
3. Slot the Riving Knife (6) into the fixing bracket, and fasten the Securing Knob (34) Fig. G
Kerf plate levelling
WARNING: Ensure the Kerf Plate (25) is installed and levelled correctly before use.
1. Level the Kerf Plate by adjusting the Kerf Plate Levelling Screws (24)
2. Check the Kerf Plate is level against the surrounding Table Surface using a straight edge. If the Kerf Plate is still
uneven, repeat the above process
Blade adjustment
• To adjust the bevel angle of the Saw Blade (2):
1. Unlock the Locking Lever (19)
2. Rotate the Bevel Angle Adjuster (14) to alter the angle of the blade
3. Use the Bevel Angle Gauge (17) to view the blade angle
• Adjust the Saw Blade height by turning the Blade Height Winder (13):
• Anticlockwise to raise the Saw Blade
• Clockwise to lower the Saw Blade
Blade calibration
WARNING: Only use saw blades with a diameter and bore diameter in accordance with the markings on the saw.
Note: The supplied Riving Knife has a width of 2.3mm; only use saw blades with a diameter Ø254–256mm, body
thickness 1.7–1.9mm, kerf 2.4–2.7mm, and arbor Ø30mm.
Note: Refer to Fig. H, when calibrating the Saw Blade (2).
1. Raise the Saw Blade to its maximum height using the Blade Height Winder (13)
2. Using the Bevel Angle Adjuster (14) adjust the Saw Blade so it is perpendicular to the Table Surface
3. Place a set square (not provided) flat against the Table Surface and against the blade
4. Loosen the 0° Trimming Screw (16)
5. Adjust the Saw Blade angle so it is parallel with the set square
6. Loosen the Angle Calibration Screws (18) and align the red dial with '0' on the Bevel Angle Gauge (17)
7. Lock the Saw Blade into position using the Locking Lever (19)
8. Tighten the 0° Trimming Screw
9. Loosen the 45° Trimming Screw (15)
10. Move the Saw Blade into the 45° position
11. Tighten the 45° Trimming Screw and check 45° is displayed on the Bevel Angle Gauge. If 45° is not displayed on
the Bevel Angle Gauge after tightening the 45° Trimming Screw , repeat steps '9-11'
Riving knife alignment
Note: The riving knife is fixed with a knob (34) to an adjustable bracket, which movement is on an arc aligned to the
saw blade, and is lowered or raised along with the blade. When aligning the riving knife, ensure there is equal space
between the riving knife edge and the blade's teeth from the top part of the arc to bottom part of the arc, which will
show that the riving knife is correctly aligned to the saw blade.
1. With the Saw Blade (2) in the 0° position, raise the blade to its maximum height using the Blade Height Winder (13)
2. Loosen the hex screw located at the infeed end of the Kerf Plate (25), and use the Kerf Plate Access Hole (22) to
release the plate, Fig. F
3. Loosen the Riving Knife Adjustment Screw (35) and the Riving Knife Locking Screw (7)
4. Place two straight edges, for example a ruler, against the sides of the Saw Blade and the Riving Knife
5. Remove the straight edges and tighten the Riving Knife Adjustment Screw, followed by the Riving Knife Locking
Screw
6. Check the Riving Knife is aligned with the Saw Blade by lowering the blade to its lowest height then raising the
blade to its maximum height, ensuring no contact between blade and riving knife
Note: The blade and Riving Knife should not touch; there should always be equal space between the knife and the
blade's teeth on the full length of the arc.
