Triton TSA001 Gebrauchs- Und Sicherheitsanweisung Seite 8

• Loosen the pivot clamping knob at the rear, and the
Nyloc nut on the blade angle trimmer. (Use the open
end of the blade spanner). Adjust the trimmer left or
right - until the blade is square to the baseplate or to
the Triton table. Tighten the rear knob and Nyloc nut
after any adjustments.
Note: For full trim range adjustment ensure the
blade depth is set 2 - 3mm below maximum, for
motor clearance. Full depth can be re-set once the
adjustment has been made.
FENCE GUIDE
• The Fence (5) can be used on the left or the right of the
blade, and provides accurate cuts without the need to
work 'free-hand' following pencil lines.
• Locate the fence into the mounting slots at the front
or rear of the baseplate and tighten the thumb screw
to lock it at the desired cut width. For maximum width
setting, the thumb screw can be relocated to the inner
or outer clamp location.
OPERATION
• Rest the front of the baseplate on the workpiece with
your pencil mark aligned with the correct sighting
notch. Ensure the blade is not touching the workpiece.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, as shown, and
press the trigger. When the saw motor reaches full
rotational speed, guide the saw smoothly along the cut
line.
• Maintain a consistent feed rate - too fast may put
excessive strain on the motor, too slow may burnish
your workpiece. Avoid any sudden movements of the
saw.
• When cutting veneered board or wood less than 20mm
thick, set the blade to protrude 5 - 10mm through the
work. This will reduce splintering. When cutting thicker
GB
wood, set the blade to maximum depth to reduce
kickback.
• Wherever possible, avoid 'free-hand' cutting. It is much
safer and more accurate to cut with the saw guided by
a clamped-on batten, or by fitting the saw to a Triton
Workcentre or Compact Saw Table. When cutting
'free-hand', mark out a straight cutting line, which can
be used as a guide, avoiding the possibility of the saw
drifting during operation.

SIGHTING NOTCHES
• Two sets of sighting notches near the front of the
baseplate provide guidance when performing 'free-
hand' cuts following a pencil line. Use the longer,
narrower notches for 90° cuts and the shorter notches
for 45° cuts. Sight along either edge of the notch,
depending on which side of the line you wish to cut.
• Use the second set of notches, closer to the saw blade,
to confirm the alignment of your saw during the cut.
• To avoid movement of the workpiece, use clamps
wherever possible. Never perform any cuts on a
workpiece held in the hand.
• Large panels and long pieces must be well supported
close to both sides of the cut to avoid pinching and
kickback. Ensure the saw is positioned with the wider
part of the baseplate resting on the larger piece, or on
the piece with the best support.
• Prevent kickback by ensuring that you move the saw
in a straight line. Ensure that your blade is in good
order and that the cut does not close in on the blade.
If necessary, use a wedge or 3mm spacer in the cut to
prevent it closing. Release the trigger if the saw gives
any sign of stalling but do not remove the saw until the
blade stops spinning.
• Avoid cutting nails, screws etc. by inspecting your
workpiece and removing any fasteners prior to cutting.
• If unusual noise or odour occurs during operation stop
the saw immediately and contact an authorised Triton
Saw Repair Centre.
• Do not operate the saw upside down unless securely
mounted and guarded in a reputable saw bench (eg. a
Triton Workcentre or Triton Saw Table).
