Angle Guide (TTSAG)
• Provides a range of set angles +/-55° for guaranteed precision cutting
• Unique double scale feature enables a full range of angles to either side of 90°
1. Thread the angle guide into the lower clamp channel (on the underside
of the track) and loosely secure with the hex screw supplied.
2. With the straight edge of the angle guide against the edge of the workpiece, rotate the
track until the edge of the track is aligned with the angle (marked on the angle guide)
that you require
3. Tighten the hex screw to secure the angle guide in position at the angle required
Note: The angle guide takes up 140–220mm (5-1/2" – 8-
Parallel Guide (TTSPG)
• In certain circumstances, it may not be possible to use the track. In such cases the saw
can be used with the Parallel Guide. This enables accurate cuts parallel to the edge of the
workpiece without use of the track
• The parallel guide can be used on the left or the right of the blade
1. Loosen the Front and Rear Parallel Guide Clamps (8 and 16) on the saw
2. Slide the parallel guide into the mounting slots in the saw baseplate
3. Use the scale on the guide to set the distance from the blade to achieve the required
width of cut
4. Retighten both the parallel guide clamps to secure the parallel guide in position
Triton Dust Extraction System (TTSDES)
• For a cleaner, safer working environment, the Triton Dust Extraction System is designed for
use with the Triton Plunge Saw
• This semi-rigid bag has a 1000ml capacity and will collect over 90% of the dust from
the cut
• The non-woven material ensures a high filtering capacity and a vision panel makes it is
easy to see when the bag needs emptying
• For optimum efficiency, do not allow the bag to become more than ¾ full before emptying
• The Dust Extraction System simply push-fits onto the Dust Extraction Port (3)
Maintenance
Ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or carrying out maintenance procedures.
Blade maintenance
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build-up of gum resins or sawdust. If
necessary, clean with a solvent-based maintenance spray or mineral turpentine
• Regularly check the saw blade for flatness. Use of the saw with a buckled blade places
excessive load on the motor and gearbox assembly, and may affect your warranty rights
• Check the tungsten carbide teeth regularly for sharpness and breakages; resharpen or
replace the blade as required
Note: When resharpening, the bevel angles on the front of the teeth should be retained.
Replacing the saw blade
• Only use 165mm (6- ⁄ ") blades, with a kerf between 2.2 & 3.5mm (

for circular saws with a no-load speed rating of at least 5000min
• Never fit high speed steel blades or abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose or different-
sized blades will void the warranty
• Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is flat, sharp and free of cracks
or defects

1. Rotate the Mode Selection Lever (20) to Blade Change position
2. Press the Plunge Lock Button (2) and plunge the saw. The saw will lock at the depth that
allows access to the blade retaining bolt through the panel in the Blade Housing (22)
3. Fit the Hex Key (21) to the bolt and depress the Spindle Lock (19)
4. Turn the Hex Key in the direction of blade rotation (anti-clockwise) to undo the bolt and
remove the bolt and outer flange
5. Carefully lift the worn blade off the inner washer on the shaft and slide the blade out
through the aperture at the bottom of the Blade Housing and set aside
GB
6. Carefully slide the new blade in through the bottom of the Blade Housing and position it
onto the inner washer on the shaft. The graphics should face out and the arrow on the blade
should point in the same direction as the arrow on the housing
7. Refit the outer blade flange then lightly screw the blade retaining bolt through the outer
blade flange
8. Check that the blade is seated properly, depress the Spindle Lock and tighten the bolt firmly
with the Hex Key
9. Depress the Plunge Lock Button to release the plunge lock and allow the blade to retract
fully into the housing

Cleaning
• Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times
• Remove dust and dirt regularly with a cloth or soft brush
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. A damp cloth is recommended. Water must
never come into contact with the saw
• Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals
Brush replacement
See image F and G
• The carbon brushes are a consumable item which should be inspected periodically and
replaced when worn
1. With the saw disconnected from power, unscrew the Brush Access Caps (11). Remove the
brushes by pulling carefully on the protruding springs
2. If either brush is worn to less than 6mm (
genuine Triton replacement brushes, available from authorised Triton saw repair centres
3. Replace/refit the brushes, refit the Brush Access Caps and tighten firmly in place
