5. Tighten both the Angle Knob and the Fence Lock Knob (48)
6. Switch on the tool (see 'Switching the unit on and off') and allow the Saw Blade (11) to
reach full speed
7. Holding the workpiece against the fence, slowly feed the workpiece into the saw (Image C)
8. Towards the end of the cut, use the Push Stick (51) to guide the workpiece so that your
hands do not enter the cut zone close to the Cut Line Indicator (8) (Image D)
9. Switch off the saw before removing and replacing the workpiece and remove the mains
cable from the mains socket when the job is completed
Note: The Push Stick should be stored with the saw after use. It slots into the Push Stick
Storage (50) of the base or hanged from the side of the Workcentre TWX7 for storage. When
the module is removed from the Workcentre store the Push Stick with the module.
Performing a crosscut or mitre cut
Note: In crosscut and mitre cut mode, the workpiece is fixed and the saw moves across the
workpiece as it cuts.
1. In crosscut and mitre cut modes, turn the Saw Head Mode Selector (6) to the Saw Head
Release Position (20) so the saw head can move along the Double Bar (21)
2. If the Cut Line Indicator (8) does not indicate the centre of the cut correctly after cutting,
adjust with a screwdriver
3. Fit the Protractor Fence (43) to the Cross Cut Fence Slot (25) by sliding in with the Fence
Lock Knob (48) loosened
4. Set to the required angle using the Angle Click Stops (47) and Angle Guide (46). Loosen the
Angle Knob (44) and pull out the Angle Release Switch (45) to change the angle
5. Tighten the Angle Knob and Fence Lock Knob. If an angle is required other than a click stop
position keep the Angle Release Switch pulled as you tighten the Angle Knob
6. Place the workpiece on the table against the Protractor Fence
7. Fit the Clamp (42) to the clamp socket in the Protractor Fence. Lower the Clamp Lever (40)
and adjust the Clamp Foot Height to secure the workpiece with the Clamp Knob (39). As you
adjust the clamping force it helps secure the Clamp in the Protractor Fence (Image E)
8. The Clamp Lever can now be used for easy replacing of workpieces of the same thickness
9. Switch on the tool (see 'Switching on and off') and allow the Saw Blade (11) to reach full
speed
10. Using the Handle (5), slide the saw into the workpiece (Image F)
11. Once the cut is complete, slide the saw back to the starting position
12. Switch off the saw before removing and replacing the workpiece and remove the mains
cable from the mains socket when the job is completed
Accessories
• A range of accessories and consumables is available from your Triton stockist. Spare parts
can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
Riving knife
• Ensure the Riving Knife (14) is fitted and in perfect working condition. If it requires
replacement, remove the 2 Riving Knife Screws (15) and carefully remove and replace using
the underside slot of the saw.
Guard
• Always ensure the Guard (10) is operating normally. Not overly stiff or loose. Check the
Guard Pivot (16) is correctly tensioned to provide smooth movement of the guard. Operate
the Guard Lever (4) to allow the Guard to move and use the Guard Raising Point (9) to lift
just as a workpiece would to make sure it is functioning correctly. Clean and lubricate the
Guard Pivot if necessary.
Blade maintenance
• Regularly check the Saw Blade (11) is free from a build-up of gum resins or sawdust. If
necessary clean with a general purpose thin lubricating and penetrating maintenance spray
or mineral turpentine
• Regularly check the Saw Blade for sharpness and that it is not buckled or otherwise
damaged. A blunt or buckled blade places excessive load on the motor and gearbox
GB
assembly, and will affect the quality of cut
Replacing the saw blade
Note: A replacement Saw Blade (11) for this saw is available from your Triton dealer.
• Never fit high speed steel blades or abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose or different-
sized blades will void the warranty
• Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is flat, sharp and free of cracks or
defects
1. Lock the saw in rip cut position, see 'Performing a rip cut'
2. Loosen the screw, keeping the Blade Bolt Cover Screw (12) in place (Image G)
12
3. Raise the Blade Bolt Cover (13) to access the Blade Bolt
4. Depress the Spindle Lock Button (19) and use the Saw Blade Hex Key (56) supplied to
loosen and remove the Blade Bolt (Image I)
5. Lift the flange off the spindle and set aside
6. Place the saw on its side and carefully slide the Saw Blade out through the aperture at the
bottom of the blade housing (Image G)
Note: it may help to use a slotted screwdriver to lift the blade off the shaft.
7. Carefully slide the new Saw Blade in through the bottom of the blade housing and position it
on the shaft, ensuring the direction of rotation arrows on the blade are facing the same way
as the direction arrows on the guard (Image J)
8. Refit the flange onto the spindle, then refit the blade bolt
9. Check that the blade is seated properly, then depress the Spindle Lock Button and tighten
the bolt firmly with the Saw Blade Hex Key
10. Refit the Blade Bolt Cover (13)
Throat Plate
• The Throat Plates (23 & 32) cover the throat channel that the saw moves along. If either
Throat Plate becomes damaged, purchase and fit a replacement before using the saw
• The left and right side can be replaced individually and either side can be accessed by
simply moving the saw mechanism to the opposite side. The part needed is identical for
the left or right side. Simply unscrew the existing plate and replace. It is important not to
over-tighten as the plate may warp. For best results, tighten by hand
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should
be carried out by an authorised Triton service centre. This advice also applies to extension
cords used with this tool
Jammed accessories handling
• Ensure the power to the Project Saw is OFF before attempting to handle any jammed
materials or accessories
• Use protective gloves and be careful of the blade's sharp teeth and/or the sharp edges of
the jammed material or accessory
• Once the jammed material or accessory has been removed safely, test the Project Saw by
running it briefly to see if normal operation can continue
• If the Project Saw runs smoothly, regular operation may continue
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry
cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
• Do not allow the Dust Bag (54) to become more than three-quarters full before emptying
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
WARNING: Internal parts must be replaced by a trained service engineer. Incorrect fitting of
parts can be highly dangerous and may damage or even destroy the tool.
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an authorised Triton
service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE),
with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose of
power tools
