Connecting lengths of track
•
Using the track connectors supplied in the track pack, you can connect lengths of Track
(24) for long cuts
•
Each track connector comprises of a Spacer (27) and an Expansion Bar (26) with hex
screws
•
Assemble each connector by fitting the Spacer to the side of the Expansion Bar opposite
the heads of the hex screws (Image H)
1. Slide one track connector into the upper clamp channel (on the face of the Track) (Image I)
2. For access, ensure the heads of the hex screws are facing away from the Track
3. Position the connector half way into the channel so 2 x hex screws are within the channel
and two are exposed (Image I)
4. Tighten the two hex screws that are in the channel to secure the connector to the Track
5. Now repeat this procedure, sliding the second connector into the lower clamp channel (on
the underside of the track) (Image J)
6. Again, ensure the heads of the hex screws are accessible, and secure the connector in
position by tightening the hex screws
7. Slide the second Track onto the protruding ends of the connectors so that the two pieces of
track meet. (Image K)
8. Tighten the hex screws to secure the second length of track to the first
Preparing the track
•
Before first use it is necessary to trim the rubber kerf strip running along one edge of
each length of Track
1. Secure the Track to a suitable piece of scrap timber using the Work Clamps (28) (see 'Work
Clamps').
2. Set the saw to scribe mode (see 'Setting scribe mode')
3. Perform a cut along the full length of the Track. This will trim the kerf strip to the exact size
required for the saw
4. Dispose of the waste rubber strip
Maintaining the track
•
Before first use and from time to time as needed, apply a light spray of lubricant so that
the saw will glide smoothly along the length of the Track
•
Do not allow dust, shavings or other debris to build up on the Track
Work Clamps (TTSWC)
Triton Track Clamps are ideal for clamping Track quickly and securely to the workpiece for
fast, accurate cutting
1. Place the Track on the workpiece and align it along the cutting line.
2. Thread the thin top arm of one clamp into the lower clamp channel (running along the
underside of the Track). (Image L)
3. Pump the Clamp handle to raise and secure the grip to the underside of the workpiece
4. Repeat the procedure at the other end of the Track
Note: Clamps can also be inserted into the upper clamp channel (on the face of the track).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the workpiece is properly supported close to the cut line. See 'Workpiece
support' in the saw section of this manual.
Using the fine adjustment cams
•
The Front and Rear Fine Adjustment Cams (9 and 15) enable you to remove excessive
play between the Track and the saw to ensure cutting accuracy as the saw moves along
the Track
1. Loosen the knobs securing the Front and Rear Fine Adjustment Cams (9 and 15)
2. Place the saw in the Track
3. Adjust the cam levers so that they remove excessive play, then retighten the knobs to
secure the levers in position
Note: The cams are fully engaged when the levers are in their centre position.
Anti-kickback
•
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece towards the operator
•
The anti-kickback feature on this saw prevents injury to the user if the saw unexpectedly
EN
kicks back
1. Rotate the Anti-Kickback Device (10) to the '0' position (before you place the saw in the
Track)
2. When you slide the saw onto the guide rail of the track, the anti-kickback feature
automatically engages
Note: If kickback does occur, check that the guide rail is not damaged before continuing
with the cut

Cutting
WARNING: Check that the workpiece and Track are properly supported and secured so
that movement cannot occur whilst the saw is in operation
WARNING: Always hold the machine with both hands using the front and rear handles
WARNING: Always push the saw forwards. NEVER pull the saw backwards towards you
WARNING: Wear all safety equipment required to use this tool. See 'Safety'
1. Check that the Track Lock (14) and Anti-Kickback Device (10) are in the '0' position
2. Engage the front of the saw in the Track
3. For a bevel cut, lock the saw to the track by rotating the Track Lock (14) to the 'I' position
4. Rotate the Mode Selection Lever (20) to free plunge position
a scribe cut
5. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and squeeze the Trigger Switch (5)
6. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then depress the Plunge Lock Button (2) and plunge the
blade to your set depth
7. Push the saw forward along the track to engage the blade with the workpiece and start the
cut
8. Maintain a consistent feed rate - too fast may put excessive strain on the motor, while too
slow may burnish your workpiece. Avoid any sudden movements of the saw
9. After completing the cut, release the Trigger Switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop before removing the saw from the track
Making bevel cuts
WARNING: When making bevel cuts it is essential to lock the saw in the Track:
1. Rotate the Track Lock (14) to the 'I' position to lock the saw in the Track
2. Follow the instructions in the 'Cutting' section of this manual.
Making plunge cuts
1. Use the Width of Cut Indicators (23) to position the saw on the Track at the site where you
need the blade to engage the workpiece
2. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and squeeze the Trigger Switch (5)
3. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then depress the Plunge Lock Button (2) and pivot the
saw forward to plunge the blade into the workpiece to the set depth
4. Make your cut, again using the Width of Cut Indicators as a guide to when to raise the saw
from the workpiece
5. Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the Track
Accessories
•
A full range of accessories including saw blades is available from your Triton stockist
•
Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
T-Square (TTSTS)
•
The T-Square provides an efficient way to ensure the Track is set at 90° to the workpiece
for perfectly square cuts
•
It is particularly useful for ensuring consistency when cutting multiple strips from a single
piece of material
1. Thread the T-square into the lower clamp channel (on the underside of the Track) so that
the flat side of the T-square is facing the length of the track
2. Tighten the hex screw to secure the T-Square in position
3. Now, when you offer up the track to the workpiece, the T-Square lies flat against the edge
of the workpiece, ensuring the Track is set at 90° to the workpiece
Note: The T-Square takes up 140mm / 5-½" of Track length.
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 (5-½" – 8-2/3") of track length.
