Blade guard installation
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Riving knife is installed and fully aligned with the blade before installing the Blade Guard.
Failing to do so could result in the Blade Guard being damaged due to misalignment.
1. To install, align the smaller end of the Blade Guard (3) with the hole at the top of the Riving Knife (6)
2. Fix the Blade Guard to the Riving Knife by inserting the nut and tightening the Guard Fixing Screw (5) with a hex key
Note: Do not overtighten. Excessive tightening may damage the guard.
3. To remove, loosen and remove the Guard Fixing Screw then remove the Blade Guard from the Riving Knife
WARNING: Always check the free movement of the Blade Guard before using the Contractor Saw. To check, lift the
front of the Blade Guard up and down several times. There will be a small amount of play in side movement, but never
excessive. If there is any resistance or obstruction and the blade guard does not move freely, remove the blade guard,
inspect, and reinstall. If there is still a problem with the Blade Guard after reinstalling, do not use the Contractor Saw
and contact the manufacturer or their agent.
Rip fence
• Unfold the Rip Fence Arms (52) and slide into the Rip Fence Guides of the Workcentre chassis, Fig. I
• The Rip Fence Arms display a graduation scale. When used in combination with the Rip Fence Position Indicator,
accurate width measurements can be determined
Protractor gauge
• Loosen the Bench Locking Knob (42) and slide the Bench Rail (49) into the T-Slot of the Workcentre chassis, Fig. J
• Tighten the Bench Locking Knob to secure the Protractor Gauge (41)
• Angle adjustment can be achieved by unlocking the Angle Adjustment Knob (50) and turning the Protractor Gauge
to the desired angle
• The angle is displayed through the Angle Viewfinder (48)
• Adjust the Adjustable Front Fence (43) by loosening the two hex bolts, to accommodate different sized workpieces
• Turn the Protractor Gauge around and set the angle to 0°, to use the 45° Angle Fence (45) for a precise 45° cut
Dust extraction
WARNING: ALWAYS use a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system.
WARNING: Some dust from natural wood , surface coatings, and composite materials contain toxic substances.
ALWAYS dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
• While dust extraction can be achieved using any vacuum cleaner, domestic (bag-type) units can fill up very quickly.
For a much larger capacity, consider fitting a Triton Dust Collector (DCA300) to your vacuum cleaner
• The combined electrical load of the Contractor Saw and vacuum cleaner may exceed the rated amperage of the
domestic extension lead or power outlet. Always connect the vacuum cleaner and Contractor Saw to separate
electrical outlets, and switch on both appliances separately
Electrical connections
Note: The Workcentre features a mains isolator switch with Trailing Socket to allow easy connectivity to power tools,
Fig. K
Connect the Workcentre to the mains via the Mains Plug
• Use the Trailing Plug to connect power tools to the power supply
1. Power tools must be connected to the Workcentre switchbox
2. If necessary, suitable extension cords may be used to extend the Workcentre's own power cable
WARNING: Use only extension cords that are in good condition, with a sufficient cross section to carry the current the
power tool will draw. Undersized extensions will cause in-line voltage to drop, resulting in power loss, overheating and
burning out of the power tool motor.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, and suitable gloves, when
working with this tool.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that power be delivered to this tool via an RCD with a residual current of 30mA or
less.
IMPORTANT: The Contractor Saw Module is marked with the feed direction - this indicates the correct and safest
direction for the workpiece when making the cut.
WARNING: Do not over-balance the Workcentre by using very large workpieces.
WARNING: Ensure the Kerf Plate (25) is installed and levelled correctly before use.
Note: Refer to your original TWX7 Workcentre instructions for full information and diagrams that refer to parts of the
Workcentre.
Workcentre switchbox operation
IMPORTANT: The switchbox requires a live mains connection to switch 'on'. It will reset to 'OFF' as soon as power is
disconnected, and will require resetting to 'ON' when power is restored to continue operation.
Switching on and off
1. The Workcentre ON/OFF Switch is located at the front of the Workcentre chassis, Fig. K
2. Connect the Workcentre Mains Plug to a wall socket and switch to the 'ON' position
3. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the 'O' position by pushing on the 'Knee-Off' Stop Button
4. Connect the power tool's mains plug to the Power Tool Connection Socket
5. Switch 'on' the power tool by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into the 'I' position
• Press down on the Knee-Off Stop Button to switch 'OFF'
Note: If the power supply is interrupted during use, the machine will not restart. The ON/OFF Switch will need to be
activated again to resume operation.
User position and feed direction
• The main user position is defined by the location of Knee-Off Stop Button
• ALWAYS remain positioned in close proximity to the ON/OFF Switch, so the machine can be instantly switched off
in the case of emergency
• Feed workpieces in the direction indicated by the arrows on the Module Table Surface (29)
Using the table extensions (available as accessories)
• The (optional) Workcentre Outfeed Support (TWX7OS) and Workcentre Side Support (TWX7SS) bars can be adjusted
to provide sturdy support to larger workpieces. Adjustability can be performed by loosening the Outfeed Support
Knobs, and/or the Side Support Knobs, and extending the corresponding support bar to the size of the workpiece
Adjusting the protractor gauge
Note: In order to increase the life span of the Protractor Gauge (41) it is recommended that a sacrificial piece of wood
should be fixed to the fence.
1. With the Protractor Gauge located in the T-Slot, loosen the Bench Locking Knob (42) and the Angle Adjustment
Knob (50)
2. Adjust the angle of the Protractor Gauge, the angle is displayed through the Angle Viewfinder (48)
3. Lock the Angle Adjustment Knob securely, whilst only securing the Bench Locking Knob until resistance is felt, to
secure the Protractor Gauge in the T-Slot
• Alternatively if a 45° angle is required:
1. Remove the Protractor Gauge and reinstall so the Adjustable Front Fence (43) is trailing
2. Ensure '0°' is displayed through the Angle Viewfinder and lock the Angle Adjustment Knob
3. Use the 45° Angle Fence (45) to secure the workpiece
Push-stick use
WARNING: Performing cuts on small workpieces can be dangerous and will require the use of push-sticks.
• A Push-Stick (38) is included with this product. However it may be necessary to use more than one push-stick to
safely cut your workpiece
• When ripping small diameter stock it will be necessary to use multiple push-sticks in order to secure the work-
piece that is in close proximity to the Saw Blade (2)
Cutting operations
WARNING: NEVER handle the part of the workpiece that is near the Saw Blade (2) whilst the blade is in motion or
whilst the power is ON. Doing so may cause the workpiece to be ejected from the machine and could cause harm to
the operator.
WARNING: Keep both hands away from the blade and the cutting path at all times.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to pull the workpiece back during the cutting process; switch the machine OFF and wait for
the Saw Blade to stop rotating before removing the part-cut specimen.
WARNING: When cutting oversized workpieces that are larger than the width and/or length of the Workcentre
Table Surface, it is necessary to adequately support the workpiece using the (optional) Workcentre Outfeed Support
(TWX7OS) and/or Workcentre Side Support (TWX7SS) which are available from your Triton dealer.
WARNING: Ensure the Workcentre is set up on a stable, flat, and secure surface. Before using the Workcentre ALWAYS
check for stable footing. Using the Workcentre on rough, unsecure terrain is dangerous and could cause serious harm
to the operator.
Performing a cross cut
WARNING: To avoid the cut-off part of the workpiece being thrown, avoid restricting the workpiece using the Rip Fence
(51). Use the Protractor Gauge (41) to support the workpiece during the cutting procedure.
• If the workpiece does not fit within the maximum workpiece dimensions specified within the 'Specifications',
adjust the support structures to accommodate the workpiece during the cutting procedure
1. Position the Rip Fence away from the path of the workpiece. Adjust the Protractor Gauge (41) to the desired angle,
and lock into position
2. Position the Saw Blade so the highest point is approximately 3.2mm higher than the top of the workpiece
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the Protractor Gauge using the hand closest to the blade, and position the other
hand on the part of the workpiece furthest from the Saw Blade for support
4. Switch the Contractor Saw 'ON' and allow the Saw Blade to reach the operating speed
5. Whilst using both hands to support the workpiece, as described in 'Step 3', slowly feed the workpiece into the
Saw Blade
Note: Before removing the cut-off part of the workpiece, turn the saw 'OFF' and wait for the blade to stop rotating.
