OPERATING

Stand on the right hand side of the compact,
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, take care to prevent it from dipping
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 medium sized pieces, and try using
the top of the work panel as a finger rest to help
control the workpiece throughout the cut.
Note: a perfect bevel requires the workpiece to
be flat, and to have a perfectly straight edge to
start with.
1. Wide workpieces
The maximum width of manageable workpiece
depends on the skill and experience of the
operator, and the weight of the material. As a
general rule, up to 600mm widths can be handled
comfortably. For larger
sizes you should have
someone assist you, or
set up infeed / outfeed
supports using the Triton
Multi-Stand(s), as in Fig. 6.
2. Long workpieces
When bevelling long workpieces, use Triton
Multi-Stand(s) to provide infeed and / or outfeed
support, or have someone assist you. Fig. 6.
3. Narrow workpieces
The compact protractor, inserted into the slot
along the top of the work
panel, can be used for
extra guidance and support
when bevel cutting narrow
workpieces across the
grain. See Fig. 7.

The protractor should slide smoothly, without
sidewards play along the full length of the slot.
If this is not the case loosen the Phillips-Head
screws and adjust the
width of the slot until the
protractor fits snugly,
then re-tighten. Fig. 8. If
necessary, spray the slot
with a spray lubricant, such
as RP7 or WD40, to improve
the protractor sliding action.
4. Chamfering
If you wish to chamfer an edge, rather than cut
a full bevel, unlock the bevel ripping guide and
move it away from the blade to the required
position. Both ends must be locked at the same
selected scale reading, ie. the guide must remain
exactly parallel to the blade, Fig. 9 & 10.

5. Fine work
To protect fragile work from splintering near the
end of the cut, loosen the Phillips-head screws
and move the front edge support closer to the
blade, as shown in Fig. 11. This will provide
greater infeed support. After any adjustment,
rotate the blade to ensure
the teeth clear the edge
support, then make sure the
screws are fully tightened.
Note: chamfers are not
possible in this position.
Remember to return the
front edge support to its
original position when finished.
