ASSEMBLY (Fig. 1)
Unfold the Quadrants from behind the Work Panel
(A). Fasten the Rear Track Arm (B) to the Rear
Quadrant and the Front Track Arm (C) to the Front
Quadrant using the fasteners D and E, F and G as
shown. Do not over-tighten the pivot bolts (D) as
the quadrants must be free to pivot smoothly.
FITTING TO THE WORKCENTRE
Unplug the saw, and make sure the switch is "Off".
Remove the rip fence and overhead guard, but
leave the overhead guard support in place. Make
sure the saw blade is at full height, and that the
saw chassis is securely locked under the table.
Set the Bevel Ripping Guide at 90
the fence tracks from the left, as shown in Fig 2.
Snap the Bridge into the saw slot approximately
10mm ( 3 / ") in front of the saw blade as shown in
8
Fig. 2. [When not using the Bevel Ripping Guide,
the bridge can be stored in the top slot of the work
panel.]
Loosen the four countersunk screws at the base of
the Work Panel and position the front edge support
(H) approximately 5mm (
blade. Position the rear edge support (I) so that the
smaller section fits between the saw blade and the
overhead guard support. Reposition the guard
support if necessary. Tighten the screws to secure
the edge supports in place.
Slide the Bevel Ripping Guide in (still set at 90˚)
until it touches the saw blade, front and rear. Check
whether you have identical scale readings on the
front and rear track arms, ie. that the guide is
exactly parallel to the blade and to the Workcentre
table. The readings do not necessarily have to be
"0", but they should be the same or similar. A
variation of 1mm ( 1 / ") is acceptable.

[If your variation is more than 1mm (
blade a little and try again. A minor flatness
problem with your saw blade can translate into a
significant mis-match in scale readings.
Check whether any mis-match is due to slight
sidewards play at the back of your blade, and
check whether your saw is correctly mounted on
the slide chassis.]

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Most bevel angles can be cut with the overhead
guard in place. If you need to remove the guard
for a specific cut, take great care. Replace the
overhead guard before continuing with other
cuts.
• Always keep your fingers well clear of the blade
and never trail your fingers behind the
workpiece near the blade.
• Take care when handling your workpieces and
offcuts as bevel cuts can have very sharp
edges.
OPERATING
It's a good idea to practice your bevel cuts on scrap
material.
Stand to the left of the Workcentre, hold the
workpiece firmly down onto the front edge support
and against the work panel. As the back of the
workpiece passes off the front edge support, avoid
dipping it down against the blade, as this will cause
a slight step in the bevel. This is particularly
noticeable with shorter pieces, because of their
limited contact with the edge supports.
By practising on scrap material, you will find the
best hand positions, and the best use of hold-down
pressure to avoid this final "dip". Begin by
practising on larger pieces, and try using either the
top of the work panel, (or the top of one of the
rebates in the panel) as finger rests to help you
control the workpiece throughout the cut.
Preferably use the sandpaper faced batten in Fig.
5, or the protractor, Fig. 4, for additional support.
Note: a perfect bevel requires the workpiece to
have a perfectly straight edge to start with.
1. Wide Workpieces (Fig. 3)
The maximum width of manageable workpiece
partly depends on the skill and experience of the
operator. As a general rule, up to 600mm (24")
widths can be handled quite comfortably. For larger
sizes you should have someone assist you.
2. Long Workpieces
When bevelling long workpieces, use a Triton Multi-
Stand to provide infeed and outfeed support for
your workpiece, or have someone assist you.
3. Narrow Workpieces (Fig. 4)
The Workcentre protractor, inserted into the slot
along the top of the work panel (J), can be used for
extra guidance and support when bevel cutting
narrow workpieces.
