Using The Optional Accessories - Triton TTS 1400 Instrucciones De Uso

3. For a bevel cut, lock the saw to the track by rotating the Track Lock (14) to the 'I' position
4. Rotate the Mode Selection Lever (20) to free plunge position
, or scribe mode for a scribe cut
5. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and squeeze the Trigger Switch (5)
6. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then depress the Plunge Lock
Button (2) and plunge the blade to your set depth
7. Push the saw forward along the track to engage the
blade with the workpiece and start the cut
8. Maintain a consistent feed rate - too fast may put excessive strain on the motor, while
too slow may burnish your workpiece. Avoid any sudden movements of the saw
9. After completing the cut, release the Trigger Switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the track
Making bevel cuts
WARNING: When making bevel cuts it is essential to lock the saw in the track:
1. Rotate the Track Lock (14) to the 'I' position to lock the saw in the track
Making plunge cuts
1. Use the Width of Cut Indicators (23) to position the saw on the track at
the site where you need the blade to engage the workpiece
2. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and squeeze the Trigger Switch (5)
3. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then depress the Plunge Lock Button (2) and
pivot the saw forward to plunge the blade into the workpiece to the set depth
4. Make your cut, again using the Width of Cut Indicators as a
guide to when to raise the saw from the workpiece
5. Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the track

Using the Optional Accessories

Triton Track Pack & Connectors (TTSTP)
The Track Pack includes:
• 2 x 700mm / 27- ⁄ " lengths of track for optimum performance of the Triton Plunge Saw
9
16
• 2 x Track Connectors TTSTC
Note: each connector consists of two parts.
Preparing the track
• Before first use it is necessary to trim the rubber kerf strip running along one edge of
each length of track
1. Secure the track to a suitable piece of scrap timber
2. Set the saw to scribe mode (see instructions earlier in this manual)
3. Perform a cut along the full length of the track. This will trim the kerf strip to the exact size
required for the saw
4. Dispose of the waste rubber strip
Maintaining the track
• Before first use and from time to time as needed, apply a light spray of lubricant so that the
saw will glide smoothly along the length of the track
• Do not allow dust, shavings or other debris to build up on the track
Connecting lengths of track
• Using the track connectors supplied in the track pack, you can connect lengths of track for
long cuts
• Each track connector comprises a spacer and an expansion bar with hex screws
• Assemble each connector by fitting the spacer to the side of the
expansion bar opposite the heads of the hex screws
1. Thread one track connector into the lower clamp channel
(on the underside of a length of track)
2. Ensure that the heads of the hex screws are facing away
from the track and therefore accessible
3. Position the connector half way into the channel so that two
hex screws are within the channel and two exposed
GB
4. Tighten the two hex screws in the channel to secure the connector to the track
5. Now repeat this procedure, threading the second connector into
the upper clamp channel (on the face of the track)
6. Again, ensure the heads of the hex screws are accessible, and secure
the connector in position by tightening the hex screws
7. Thread the second track onto the free ends of the
connectors so that the two ends of track abut
8. Tighten the hex screws to secure the second length of track to the first

Work Clamps (TTSWC)
Triton Track Clamps are ideal for clamping track quickly and
securely to the workpiece for fast, accurate cutting
1. Place the track on the workpiece and align it along the cutting line
2. Thread the thin top arm of one clamp into the lower clamp
channel (running along the underside of the track)
3. Pump the clamp handle to raise and secure the grip to the underside of the workpiece
4. Repeat the procedure at the other end of the track
Note: Clamps can also be inserted into the upper clamp channel (on the face of the track).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the workpiece is properly supported close to the cut
line. See 'Workpiece support' in the saw section of this manual.
T-Square (TTSTS)
• The T-Square provides an efficient way to ensure the track is
set at 90° to the workpiece for perfectly square cuts
• It is particularly useful for ensuring consistency when cutting
multiple strips from a single piece of material
1. Thread the T-square into the lower clamp channel (on the underside of the
track) so that the flat side of the T-square is facing the length of the track
2. Tighten the hex screw to secure the T-Square in position
3. Now, when you offer up the track to the workpiece, the T-Square lies flat against
the edge of the workpiece, ensuring the track is set at 90° to the workpiece
Note: the T-Square takes up 140mm / 5-½" of track length.
Angle Guide (TTSAG)
• Provides a range of set angles +/-55° for guaranteed precision cutting
• Unique double scale feature enables a full range of angles to either side of 90°
1. Thread the angle guide into the lower clamp channel (on the underside
of the track) and loosely secure with the hex screw supplied.
2. With the straight edge of the angle guide against the edge of the workpiece, rotate the
track until the edge of the track is aligned with the angle (marked on the angle guide)
that you require
3. Tighten the hex screw to secure the angle guide in position at the angle required
Note: The angle guide takes up 140–220mm (5-½" – 8-
Parallel Guide (TTSPG)
• In certain circumstances, it may not be possible to use the track. In such cases the saw
can be used with the Parallel Guide. This enables accurate cuts parallel to the edge of the
workpiece without use of the track
• The parallel guide can be used on the left or the right of the blade
1. Loosen the Front and Rear Parallel Guide Clamps (8 and 16) on the saw
2. Slide the parallel guide into the mounting slots in the saw baseplate
3. Use the scale on the guide to set the distance from the blade to achieve the required
width of cut
4. Retighten both the parallel guide clamps to secure the parallel guide in position
Triton Dust Extraction System (TTSDES)
• For a cleaner, safer working environment, the Triton Dust Extraction System is designed for
use with the Triton Plunge Saw
• This semi-rigid bag has a 1000ml capacity and will collect over 90% of the dust from
the cut
• The non-woven material ensures a high filtering capacity and a vision panel makes it is
easy to see when the bag needs emptying
• For optimum efficiency, do not allow the bag to become more than ¾ full before emptying
• The Dust Extraction System simply push-fits onto the Dust Extraction Port (3)
Maintenance
Ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or carrying out maintenance procedures.
Blade maintenance
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build-up of gum resins or sawdust. If
necessary, clean with a solvent-based maintenance spray or mineral turpentine
• Regularly check the saw blade for flatness. Use of the saw with a buckled blade places
excessive load on the motor and gearbox assembly, and may affect your warranty rights
• Check the tungsten carbide teeth regularly for sharpness and breakages; resharpen or
replace the blade as required
Note: When resharpening, the bevel angles on the front of the teeth should be retained.
