Cutting bowed material
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the Guide Fence (11) and secured
with a clamping devise before cutting. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to
cut the workpiece without the support of the Guide Fence. This will cause the Blade
(28) to bind and could result in personal injury.
Workpiece support and repetitive cutting using the stop plate (Fig. IX)
Long pieces need Extension Table (25) support.
The Stop Plate (10) is designed for making repetitive cuts of the same length.
1) Loosen the Extension Table Locking Lever (45) then slide the Extension Table to
desired position and tighten the lever
2) Loosen the Stop Plate Locking Screw (46), rotate the Stop Plate to vertical
position and retighten the locking screw
Note: Use only one Stop Plate at a time, NEVER use both Stop Plates.
Auxiliary wood fence (Fig. X)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off pieces of 25.4 mm or
less, it is possible for the Blade (28) to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the
saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury. To
minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to your saw. Holes are
provided in the Guide Fence (11) to attach an auxiliary wood fence.
• This fence is to be constructed of straight wood approximately 19mm thick by
63.5mm high by 457.2mm long
• Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot
(a).
• Check for interference between the wood fence and the Lower Blade Guard (3).
Adjust if necessary
IMPORTANT: This auxiliary fence is used only with the Blade in the 0° bevel
position (90° to the table). The auxiliary wood fence must be removed when bevel
cutting.
Accessories
• A range of accessories and consumables, including saw blades, additional
clamps, and personal protective equipment, is available from your Triton stockist
• Spare parts can be ordered from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
This tool is accurately adjusted before shipping from the factory. Check the following
accuracy and readjust them if necessary, in order to obtain the best results in
operation.
Bevel stop adjustment
WARNING: To ensure accurate cuts, alignment should be checked and
adjustments made prior to use.

ruler against the Mitre Table and the heel of the square against the Blade (28)
3) If the Blade is not 0° to the Mitre Table, loosen the three Bevel Adjustment Bolts
(48) at the rear of the unit with a 4mm hex spanner. Unlock the Bevel Locking
Handle and adjust the cutting arm zero degrees to the Mitre Table. After
alignment is achieved, tighten the three Bevel Adjustment Bolts and press down
on the Bevel Locking Handle to secure the cutting head
90° Bevel pointer adjustment (Fig. XII)
1) When the Blade (28) is exactly 90° (0°) to the Mitre Table (9), loosen the Bevel
Pointer Screw (49) using a #2 Phillips screwdriver
2) Adjust Bevel Pointer (50) to the "0" mark on the bevel scale and retighten the
Bevel Pointer Screw
45° Left bevel adjustment (Fig. XIII)
1) Fully extend the Guide Fence (11) completely to the left, and then pull the Bevel
Detent Stop Pin (Fig. XII (43)) towards the front of the machine
Note: When retracting the Bevel Detent Stop Pin, it may be necessary to shift the
mitre saw upper arm assembly to the left/right to release the holding pressure.
2) Loosen the Bevel Locking Handle (40) and tilt the cutting arm completely to the
left
3) Using a combination square, check to see if the Blade (28) is 45° to the Mitre
Table (9).
4) To adjust, tilt the cutting arm to 0°, loosen the Left Bevel Locknut (51), and turn
the Left Angle Adjustment Bolt (52) in or out to increase or decrease the angle
5) Tilt the cutting arm back to the left, and recheck alignment

6) Repeat steps until the Blade is 45° to the Mitre Table. Once alignment is
achieved, tighten the Left Bevel Locknut and Bevel Locking Handle (40)
45° Right bevel adjustment (Fig. XIII)
1) Set the mitre angle to 0°. Fully extend the Guide Fence (11) completely to the
right, and then pull the Bevel Detent Stop Pin (Fig. XII (43)) towards the front of
the machine.
Note: When retracting the Bevel Detent Stop Pin, it may be necessary to shift the
mitre saw upper arm assembly to the left/right to release the holding pressure.
2) Loosen the Bevel Locking Handle (40) and tilt the cutting arm completely to the
right.

(9).
4) To adjust, tilt the cutting arm to 0°, loosen the Right Bevel Locknut (53), and turn
the Right Angle Adjustment Bolt (54) in or out to increase or decrease the angle.
5) Tilt the cutting arm back to the right, and recheck alignment.
6) Repeat steps until the Blade is 45° to the Mitre Table. Once alignment is
achieved, tighten Right Bevel Locknut (53) and Bevel Locking Handle.
33.9° Left and right bevel adjustment (Fig. XIII)
1) Set the mitre angle to 0°. Fully extend both Guide Fences (11)
2) Loosen the Bevel Locking Handle (40), and tilt cutting arm to the 33.9° right
bevel positive stop by pushing in on the Bevel Detent Stop Pin (Fig. XII (43))
towards the rear of the machine
3) Using a combination square, check to see if the Blade (28) is 33.9° to the Mitre
Table (9).
4) To adjust, turn the Hex Screw (55) in or out with a 3mm spanner until the Blade
is 33.9° to the Mitre Table
5) Repeat the above steps and turn the Hex Screw for the 33.9° left bevel
adjustment
Mitre angle adjustment
The slide compound mitre saw scale can be easily read, showing mitre angles from
0° to 48° to the left and right. The mitre saw Mitre Table (9) has nine of the most
common angle settings with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These
positive stops position the Blade (28) at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
Follow the process below for quickest and most accurate adjustments.
Adjusting mitre angles: (Fig. V)
1) Lift up on the Quick-cam Locking Lever (6) to unlock the Mitre Table (9)
2) Move the Mitre Table while lifting up on the Positive Stop Locking Lever (30) to
align the Mitre Pointer (56) to the desired degree measurement
3) Lock the Mitre Table into position by pressing down on the Quick-cam Locking
Lever
Mitre angle pointer adjustment: (Fig. V)
1) Move the Mitre Table (9) to the 0° positive stop
2) Loosen the Pointer Fixing Screw (57) that holds the pointer with a Phillips
screwdriver
3) Adjust the Mitre Pointer (56) to the 0° mark and retighten the Pointer Fixing
Screw
Adjusting fence squareness (Fig. XIV)
1) Loosen the four Fence Locking Bolts (58)
2) Lower the cutting arm and lock in position
3) Lay the heel of a Combination Square (47) against the Blade (28), and the ruler
edge of the Combination Square against the Guide Fence (11) as shown
4) Adjust the Guide Fence 90° to the Blade and tighten the four Fence Locking
Bolts
IMPORTANT: If the saw has not been used recently, recheck Blade squareness to
the Guide Fence and readjust if needed.
5) After the Guide Fence has been aligned, using a scrap piece of wood, make a
cut at 90° then check squareness on the piece. Readjust if necessary
Quick-cam locking lever adjustment (Fig. XV)
1) Press down the Quick-cam Locking Lever (6) to lock the Mitre Table (9) into
place.
2) If the Mitre Table moves with the locking lever down, use a 13mm spanner to
turn the Stop Fixing Nut (59) to the right
