not use abrasive wheels, doing so will void the warranty.
l) If a circular saw features a riving knife it must be removed before plunge cutting. A riving
knife will interfere with a plunge cut causing kickback. The riving knife must always be
re-fitted after plunge cutting. A circular saw with a permanent, non-removable riving knife
is NOT suitable for plunge cutting.
Avoid blade overheating
•
Always check the condition of the blade prior to any cutting operations. Ensure the blade is
sharp and is the correct type of blade for the material. If the blade is blunt, replace or have
professionally sharpened (if applicable)
•
During cutting operations, run the tool without load for 15-20 second intervals to ensure
the air cools the blade
•
Take extra care when cutting hardwood. Harder materials generate more resistance and
more heat on the blade and motor, so ensure more frequent air cooling intervals are
applied

Intended Use
Circular saw with track for freehand and track-bound operation, performing light to medium-
duty plunge cuts into wooden floorboards, countertops, and similar materials.
Note: For non-commercial use only.
Unpacking Your Tool
•
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
•
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition
•
If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Before Use
Dust Extraction
•
The saw is fitted with a 35mm (1-1/4") dia Dust Extraction Port (3) suitable for use with
Triton Dust Extraction System (TTSDES) or for connection to a vacuum system

Mode Selection
The mode selector enables fast and easy setting of the major functions simply by rotating the
Mode Selection Lever (20) to the required mode of operation:
•
Blade change
•
Free plunge, for general cutting
•
Scribe, for a scribe cut of 2.5mm (3/32") depth
Note: For details of use, see the relevant section in this manual.
Workpiece support
•
Large panels and long pieces must be well supported close to both sides of the cut to
avoid pinching and kickback
•
Place the workpiece 'best' face down, so that if any splintering occurs, it is more likely to
occur on the face that is less visible
Operation
Setting scribe mode
Scribe mode locks the depth of cut at 2.5mm (3/32"). An initial scribe cut helps to prevent
friction on the blade, particularly when deep plunge cuts are required. It is also useful for the
initial cut on veneered or melamine laminates.
•
Rotate the Mode Selection Lever (20) to Scribe position
•
The plunge depth is now locked so that the blade cannot be plunged deeper than 2.5mm
(3/32")
Setting depth of cut
See image B
•
Depth of cut may be adjusted from 0 – 67mm (0-25/8"). The depth can be set by direct
reference to the depth scale, which has been calibrated to take account of the Track, so no
additional calculation is required
•
For best results, less than a full blade tooth should be visible below the workpiece
1. Loosen the Depth Lock (18) and move it along the depth scale until the pointer aligns with
the cut depth required
2. Tighten the Depth Lock firmly
3. The saw will now be able to plunge to the set depth (when in free plunge mode)
Note: When accuracy is critical, use a set square to check the depth and make test cuts on a
scrap piece of material.
Adjusting the bevel angle
See image C
•
The bevel angle may be adjusted from 0° - 48°
1. Loosen the Front and Rear Bevel Locks (6 & 17)
2. Pivot the body of the saw until the bevel angle pointer, adjacent to the Front Bevel Lock,
aligns with the bevel angle required on the bevel scale
3. Tighten the Front and Rear Bevel Locks firmly
4. The saw is now secured, ready for cutting at the bevel angle required
Note: When accuracy is critical, use a set square to check the angle and make test cuts on a
scrap piece of material.
IMPORTANT: When making bevel cuts, it is essential to lock the saw in the Track. See 'Making
bevel cuts' below for details.
Setting the speed
See image D
•
The speed can be adjusted using the Speed Dial (7). This enables you to optimise the
cutting speed to suit the material
•
The chart below provides a speed-choice guide for different materials:
Type of material
Solid wood (hard or soft)
Chipboard
Laminated wood, blockboard, veneered & coated board
Hardboard
Assembling the Track
The Track Pack includes:
•
2 x 700mm / 27-9/16" lengths of Track (24)
•
2 x Track Connectors TTSTC
Note: each connector consists of two parts
