Adjusting the rear bevel angle bolt & washer
The Bevel Angle Latch (30) and the Bevel Angle Latch Lock (29) are used to loosen or tighten
the Rear Bevel Angle Bolt & Washer (50), which is required for securing the bevel angle and
also to loosen the bolt before calibration, setting the 0° (see 'Checking the 0°' and 'Changing
the 0°' in 'Maintenance')
• To loosen the Rear Bevel Angle Bolt & Washer, pop out the Bevel Angle Latch Lock (29)
button at the bottom (Image S) then lift the Bevel Angle Latch (30), which will show
some resistance
• Push the Bevel Angle Latch down then lift again; repeat this ratcheting action to loosen
the bolt
• To tighten the Rear Bevel Angle Bolt & Washer, push the Bevel Angle Latch Lock button in
at the bottom (Image T) then push down the Bevel Angle Latch, which will show
some resistance
• Lift the latch then push down again; repeat this ratcheting action to tighten the bolt
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten! Once the Bevel Angle Latch is tight, do not use excessive
force to continue tightening; instead, pop the Bevel Angle Latch Lock button out then push
down the Bevel Angle Latch to the lock position.
Releasing & locking the slide rail locking knobs
• The saw has two-stage dual Slide Rails (15) for ultimate extension of the Blade (34) when
cutting wider workpieces
• To allow sliding movement release the Slide Rail Locking Knobs (7) on both sets of rails
• To lock the cutting head at a particular length, lock the Slide Rail Locking Knobs at the
required location
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, and
suitable non-woven gloves when working with this tool.
IMPORTANT: Always inspect the mitre saw before each use. Before connecting the saw to
mains power, inspect the guards and the correct functioning safety features of the tool.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the operator has adequate training in the operation, adjustment, and
maintenance of the mitre saw before connecting the saw to mains power and operating
the saw.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the tool is unplugged from mains power before adjusting or
changing any of the tool's parts. Observe the rotational direction of the blade and compare to
the correct rotational direction on the saw blade; at the front of the saw, the blade teeth should
always point down.
Switching ON & OFF
• To switch the saw ON, depress the Safety Lock-Off Button (37) and hold in the ON/OFF
Trigger Switch (38) (Image R)
• To switch the saw OFF, release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch
Laser & LED work light
• The Laser/Work Light ON/OFF (39) buttons are on the Operating Handle (1)
• To switch the Laser or LED Work Light ON, press the corresponding button on the
Operating Handle
• The left button operates the LED Work Light (43)
• The right button operates the Laser (54)
• To switch the Laser or LED Work Light OFF, press the corresponding button again
Making a cut
WARNING: Never place hands closer than 150mm from the blade (Fig. VI). Always keep
hands and limbs well clear from the path of the Blade (34) and the Blade Channel (25).
WARNING: Avoid hand positions and awkward usage operations where an accidental slip
could cause a hand or fingers to move into the Blade.
IMPORTANT: For accurate cutting, ensure the blade, the fence, the mitre, and the bevels are all
calibrated correctly (see 'Calibration' in Maintenance).
Compound mitre cuts:
• A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. It is
used to make picture frames, cut mouldings, make boxes and sloping sides, and for
roof framing
• Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting the workpiece
• If making a compound mitre cut, set the required bevel angle (see 'Adjusting the bevel
angle') and mitre angle (see 'Adjusting the mitre angle') first, then proceed to cutting
Trench cuts:
• A trench cut involves using the depth stop
• The trench cut is generally used for joinery to create housing joints
• These joints are useful in cabinet making and shelving units
• Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting the workpiece
• If making a trench cut, set the required depth with Depth Stop (8) (see 'Depth adjustment')
first then proceed to cutting
Chop cuts:
• These cuts are used for cutting small or narrow pieces/sections of material
• The cutting head is gently pushed down to cut through the secured workpiece
• The Slide Rail Locking Knobs (7) should be locked in place at the rearmost position on the
Slide Rails (15)
Slide cuts:
• The saw's Slide Rail (15) system allows the saw to make slide cuts
• To completely free up the cutting head, allowing it to glide smoothly, loosen the Slide Rail
Locking Knobs (7)
• During the cut, the Blade is lowered into the workpiece then pushed back to the rear of the
Blade Channel (25) to complete the cut
• Use slide cuts for cutting wider pieces of material (see 'Specifications' for maximum
workpiece sizes)
Making a cut:
1. With the saw disconnected from the mains power, ensure the required settings—such as
mitre angle, bevel angle, and if required plunge depth—are set and locked on the saw
2. Place the workpiece flat on the Mitre Table (23) with one edge securely against
the Fence (17)
Note:
• If the board is warped, place the convex side against the Fence (Fig. VI)
• If the concave side is placed against the Fence, the board could break and jam the
Blade (34)
• Use the Workpiece Clamp (47) (see 'Fitting the Workpiece Clamp') on either side of the
cutting head where necessary to secure the workpiece
• Use the Workpiece Supports (20) (see 'Adjusting the workpiece supports') and Workpiece
Support Stops (19) if necessary to help stabilise longer workpieces
3. Perform a dry run with the cutting head on the workpiece, ensuring the cutting head is free
to move up and down, and free to glide smoothly on the Slide Rails (15)
4. Connect the saw to mains power
5. Hold the Operating Handle (1), firmly depress the Safety Lock-Off Button (37) and squeeze
the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (38)
6. Allow the Blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the Blade into and through the
workpiece, allowing the speed of the Blade to do all the work (there should be no need to
apply undue pressure on the Operation Handle)
7. When the cut is completed, release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch then allow the Blade to stop
completely before raising the cutting head
8. Remove the workpiece only when the Blade is completely stopped and the Blade Guard (33)
has completely retracted to cover all of the Blade's teeth
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
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the tool is unplugged from mains power before adjusting,
changing or calibrating any of the tool's parts, or performing any maintenance or cleaning
the tool.
Bevel angle adjustment
Checking the 0° angle
1. Ensure the cutting head is down and locked with the Cutting Head Latching Pin (9) so that
the Blade (34) is in the Blade Channel (25)
2. Set the bevel angle to 0° (see 'Adjusting the bevel angle')
3. Raise the cutter head by releasing the latching pin, then check that the bevel is still set
to 0°
4. Place a set square on the table with one short edge against the Mitre Table (23) and the
other short edge against the Blade (avoiding the saw teeth) (Image U)
Note: If the Blade is not square (90°) with the Mitre Table, adjustment and calibration
is required.
Changing the 0° angle
1. Loosen the Rear Bevel Angle Bolt & Washer (50) (see 'Adjusting the rear bevel angle bolt &
washer'), pull and turn the Bevel Angle Locking Pin (13), and loosen the 3 x Bevel Angle Hex
Bolts (53)
2. Check the 0° angle by using a square against the surface of the Blade (34) and the Mitre
Table (23) (Image U)
3. Make any minor adjustments so the Blade is square with the Mitre Table then tighten the
Bevel Angle Hex Bolts, re-insert the Bevel angle Locking Pin, and tighten the Rear Bevel
Angle Bolt & Washer
4. If the 0° is out on the Bevel Angle Gauge (12), loosen the screws on the 2 x Bevel Angle
Indicators (11), make minor adjustments so that both indicators match the 0° on the gauge,
then retighten the screws
