Fitting the Triton 235mm Precision Power Saw (cont.)
ALIGNING THE SAW
Position the chassis halfway between the end
panels. Adjust the fence in close to the blade and
lock it. Make sure the blade is vertical by
comparing it to the face of the fence.If necessary,
loosen the nut holding the Blade Angle Trimmer
(circled), and adjust the blade angle. Re-tighten

the nut.
Use the saw's spanner
(s) to rotate the cams until the front and rear of
the blade are just touching the fence, when it is
at 0 mm. When satisfied with the position tighten
the alignment cam screws.
Unscrew the front handle of the saw for better
access to the front cam. Lower the blade for
access to the rear one.
FINAL CLAMPING OF SAW
Double-check the saw position by now locking the
fence at 0 mm, and trying to turn the blade
backwards by hand. The teeth should lightly
scrape against the face of the fence.
repeat the above alignment.
This is a very important step, because it will
ensure that your saw cuts are true, and that your
fence scales are accurate, so take your time.
When satisfied with the position of the saw,
reposition the saw locators hard up against the
edge of the baseplate, as follows. Hold each knob
against turning and loosen the screw about half to
one turn. Push the saw locator into position, and
firmly tighten the screw.
Turn the saw right-way up again and loosen the
four knobs a couple of turns. Check that the saw
cannot move sideways at all, and that all screws
are fully tightened. Do up the knobs again,
perhaps one turn beyond when they first scrape
on the baseplate.
The saw is now set up, and is available at any
time for hand-held use by simply loosening each knob half a turn and lifting the saw straight up.
If the locators are correctly fitted, the saw will go back into exactly the right spot each time.
