2. To switch on the saw, press down the Lock-Off Button
(28) and whilst holding down the lock-off button press
down the Trigger Switch (26).
3. When you release the trigger, the saw turns off and the
lock-off button re-engages. It will be necessary to press
down the lock-off button again to turn the saw on.
4. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before
setting the saw down.
USING THE LASER SYSTEM
• Do not look directly at the laser beam.
• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the workpiece.
• Ensure that the beam is not directed towards others in
the work area.
• Ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work
piece without reflective surfaces ie; wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
material is not suitable for laser use as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rest the front of the base plate on the workpiece with
your pencil mark aligned with the correct sighting
notch. Ensure the blade is not touching the workpiece.
2. Turn on the Laser Sight Switch (1) and align the laser
line with the pencil line.
3. Hold the saw firmly with both hands, depress the
Lock-Off Button (28) and press the Trigger Switch (26).
When the saw motor reaches full speed, guide the saw
smoothly along the cut line.
4. Maintain a consistent feed rate - too fast may put
excessive strain on the motor, while too slow may
burnish your workpiece. Avoid any sudden movements
of the saw.
5. 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
wood, set the blade to maximum depth to reduce
kickback.
6. For safety, use the parallel cutting guide or a clamped-
on batten. If free-hand cutting
is unavoidable always mark
out a straight cutting line as a
GB
guide.
7. Make sure the workpiece
cannot move during the
cut, using clamps wherever
possible. Never perform any
cuts on a workpiece held in the hand.

Preparation / Operating Instructions
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
• Only turn on the laser beam when the tool is on the
workpiece
1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.
3. Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
4. Switch on the laser beam
by pressing the Laser Sight
Switch (1).
5. Line up the laser line with the
pencil line on the workpiece.
6. Start the motor by squeezing
the Trigger Switch (26).
7. Make your cut ensuring that
the laser line is kept in line with the pencil line.
8. Switch off the laser beam by pressing the laser sight
switch
8. Large panels and long workpieces 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.
9. Prevent kickback by ensuring that you move the
saw in a straight line. Ensure that your blade is in
good condition and that the cut does not close in
on the blade. (If necessary, use a small wedge or
3mm spacer in the cut to
prevent it closing in on the
blade). Release the trigger
if the saw gives any sign of
stalling but do not remove
the saw until the blade
stops spinning.
10. Avoid cutting any nails,
screws etc. by inspecting your workpieces and
removing any fasteners prior to cutting.
11. If any unusual noise or odour occurs during operation
stop the saw immediately and contact an authorised
Triton Saw Repair Centre.
12. Do not operate the saw upside down unless securely
mounted and guarded in a reputable brand saw
bench (eg. a Triton Workcentre or Triton Compact
Saw Table).
