Intended Use

Compact circular saw mounted on a double bar with both fixed head and moving saw head
modes. This tool functions as a TWX7 module for inserting into the Workcentre 7 or as
self-contained power tool used on a bench or floor. Cuts natural wood, man-made wood and
composite materials including laminates and flooring for cross, rip and mitre cutting.

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your new 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

WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Assembly
1. Attach the Handle (5) with the Saw Handle Screws (53) through the Handle Screw Holes (3
& 7) (Image A)
2. Slide the Dust Bag (54) onto the Dust Port (18) unless a dust extraction system is being
connected (Image B)
Note: If using the saw as a module for TWX7 fit these additional parts as shown
1. Fit the Module Levelling Screws (57) if not pre-fitted
2. Fit the Module Pins (59) through the Module Rollers (58) and screw to the body of the saw
3. Fit the Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (60)
Notes:
• A vacuum or dust extraction system can be connected to the Dust Port (18) instead of the
Dust Bag (54) (this will provide superior extraction)
• Never operate the saw without either the Dust Bag or a vacuum connected
• Empty the Dust Bag every 10-15 minutes during use and at the end of every session. The
dust produced could be of a flammable nature and may contain polyurethanes or linseed
oil. Allowing the Dust Bag to get full will force the dust back into the saw mechanism and it
could ignite. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the materials being cut
The Saw Blade (19) is pre-fitted but as part of the assembly process it is recommended the
user checks that the blade is securely tightened. Refer to the 'Replacing the saw blade'
section on how to access and tighten the blade securing bolt.
Check the 2 Throat Plates (23 & 32) are in good condition and correctly fitted.
WARNING: The saw must not be operated if either of the throat plates are damaged or missing.
Installing in Workcentre 7
IMPORTANT: Read these instructions in combination with the instructions supplied with your
Triton Workcentre.
WARNING: ALWAYS grip modules with both hands, ensure secure footing, stand upright, and
avoid awkward movements when removing and fitting modules.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the saw head is in the locked position and use the Double Bar (21) the
saw head is mounted to, to lower the module. Uncontrolled lowering can cause Workcentre,
module and power tool damage as well as possible injury to the operator. Ensure your hand is
not placed where the module falling could crush your hand (Fig. I)
Levelling the module
• All modules must be adjusted so they are level with the Workcentre chassis, to achieve
accurate results and for safe operation. Therefore all modules are equipped with seven
Module Levelling Screws (57)
1. Fit the module into the Workcentre chassis
2. Tighten the three Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (60), until there is no movement between
the module and the Workcentre chassis
3. Place a straight edge over the corner, across the levelling screws, and check for gaps
4. Adjust the Module Levelling Screws, until both sides of the corner are flush with the
Workcentre chassis
5. Repeat for the remaining three corners and the single Module Levelling Screw in the middle
of the long side of the module.
6. Check all sides of the module are flush with the Workcentre chassis by placing a straight
edge over the module, perpendicular to the long and short sides, as well as diagonally over
the table. Fine-adjust and re-check where necessary
Using the saw on a bench or other surface
Position the saw on a solid, flat work surface. An anti-vibration rubber mat can be placed
between the saw and the work surface to reduce vibration and prevent movement during use
on some surfaces.
WARNING: Using this tool with a portable workbench can be dangerous. Make sure there is no
risk of the workbench collapsing or toppling during use.
Connecting to mains
When used with the Workcentre 7 connect the mains plug to the trailing socket of the
Workcentre so the saw is connected to the Workcentre safety isolator switch.
It is recommended to use a non-latching active RCD (residual current device) especially when
used outside. In the USA an appliance leakage current interrupter (ALCI) is recommended.
Operation
IMPORTANT Safety
• ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as
suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
• Keep hands out of path of saw blade
• Do not operate saw without guards in place
• Do not perform any operation freehand
• Never reach around saw blade
• Use a push-stick for ripping narrow work
• Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing
settings
• Disconnect power before changing blade or servicing
• Return carriage to full rear position after each crosscut operation
• Use saw-blade guard and riving knife (spreader) for every operation where required,
including through-sawing
Switching on and off
IMPORTANT: Before plugging the project saw into mains power, press the OFF button to
ensure the saw will not switch on immediately when plugged in.
• To switch the saw ON, press the green On Switch (2) marked ' I'
• To switch the saw OFF, press the red Off Switch (1) marked 'O'
Performing a rip cut
Note: In this mode the saw cuts in a fixed position and the workpiece is moved in the same
way as a table saw.
1. Lock the saw in the rip position by rotating the Saw Head Mode Selector (6) to the lower
height position and moving the saw head until it locks in position. The saw head can be
moved by the Saw Head Handle (33) if at the rear of the tool into the locked position
2. Fit the Protractor Fence (43) to either the Parallel Fence Slot (29) or Short Parallel Fence Slot
(34) by sliding in with the Fence Lock Knob (48) loosened
3. Ensure the Parallel Guide Slot Pin (41) clicks into the either of the Parallel Guide Slots (27 or
36). Loosen the Angle Knob (44) and pull out Angle Release Switch (45) if necessary
4. Set the Protractor Fence to the depth required for the cut using the Metric or Imperial
Graduations (28 or 30)
