CROSSCUTTING TEST
Take a straight piece of wood 30 - 45 mm thick and at least 300mm long. Lower the overhead
guard to about 5mm above it.
Fit the protractor to the left or right table slot, and
check that it slides freely from end to end. Spray
lubricant such as RP7 on the slider strip. Set the
protractor at exactly 0
Hold the wood firmly against the long sand-paper
face of the protractor, and push the protractor down
lightly for best guidance in the slot.
wood smoothly into the blade.
When the workpiece is past the back of the blade,
switch off by bumping the STOP plate.
If the back of the blade re-cuts or burns the workpiece, your saw is probably slightly skew on the
slide chassis, and may have to be adjusted slightly. Or your blade could be buckled.
CHECKING THE CUT
4
If your saw does not allow you to get the blade completely square to the table, either file out the
curved slot in the saw's quadrant, or attach shim packing between the narrow edge of the saw
baseplate and the slide chassis to angle the whole saw slightly. The Triton Saw Stabilising Bracket
(see next page) is advised if the blade reaches 90˚, but then slumps away because of saw flex.

long, and adjust the overhead guard to about 5mm above it.
Lock the rip fence exactly parallel to the blade at a fence
setting to give an off-cut of say 5 mm.
Fit the guided push stick and side pressure finger as shown
in
about 20mm in front of the blade, and at an angle to gently
flex the finger. Avoid applying too much pressure.
Hold the wood firmly down on the table and feed it smoothly.
Keep pushing it - without pausing - until it is fully past the back
locked
of the blade. Use your hands while it is safe to do so, but finish
off using the guided push-stick to push the wood through.
It's important that you perform these test cuts, in the
order laid out in these two pages.
First, check your square - many are inaccurate. Use a
board with a straight edge. Press the square firmly
against it, and use a sharp pencil to trace the blade on
the board. Flip the square over, press it against the

straight edge again, and compare the blade to the pencil
line. 2 Any error in your square is seen as doubled.

For an error ALONG the cut,
protractor angle slightly and repeat the test.

against the protractor face).
