ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from
the power supply before making any
adjustments or installing or removing blades.
1. Loosen the depth adjustment locking
lever (20) and lift the back of the saw
away from the baseplate until the
approximate depth is achieved. Push
down on the lever to lock the saw
in position.
2. For fine depth
adjustments, lock
the saw at the
approximate depth
and then turn
the micro depth
adjustment knob
for the exact depth.
Turn the micro depth adjustment knob
in a clockwise direction to decrease the
depth of cut, turn in an anti-clockwise
direction to increase the depth of
cut. The adjustment range is 6mm,
if insufficient, reset the main depth
adjustment, and fine tune again.
The micro-adjustment knob must
be set to full depth to achieve the
82mm maximum depth of cut.
3. The circular saw also features a rack &
pinion depth adjustment feature. The
rack & pinion depth adjustment is most
useful when the saw is mounted below a
Triton Workcentre.
4. To adjust the depth using the rack & pinion
feature loosen the depth adjustment
locking lever (20) and then turn the rack &
pinion adjustment knob (21) to adjust the
cutting height. Turn the knob in an anti-
clockwise direction to
increase the cutting
depth, turn in a
clockwise direction to
decrease the cutting
depth. Tighten the
depth adjustment
locking lever to lock the saw in position.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH LOCKING LEVER
TENSION
If the depth adjustment locking
lever (20) is not providing enough
tension adjust as follows:
1. Loosen and remove the 2 Phillips head
screws that secure the rack & pinion
adjustment knob (21). Remove the
adjustment knob, this will reveal the
locking lever tension nut.
2. Using a 10mm
wrench tighten the
tension nut in a
clockwise direction
to increase the
tension of the locking
lever (20).
3. Once the locking lever is providing sufficient
tension replace the adjustment knob and
secure using the 2 Phillips head screws.
4. Check the operation of the locking lever
before operating the saw.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
1. Bevel angles can be set anywhere within
the range 0° to 47°. Pre-set stops are
available at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° & 45° for
quick, accurate bevel settings.
2. Loosen the front and rear bevel lock knobs
(11 & 12) and depress the bevel detent latch
(14). Pivot the saw to the angle you require
