PREPARATION

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:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting scribe mode
Scribe mode locks the depth of cut at 2.5mm /
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 /
Setting depth of cut
• Depth of cut may be adjusted from 0 – 55mm
/ 2- ⁄ ". The depth can be set by direct reference to
11
64
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

Blade change
Free plunge, for
general cutting
Scribe, for a scribe
cut of 2.5mm /
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
Adjusting the bevel angle
⁄ ". An • The bevel angle may be
3
32
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
3
32
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:
