6. Replace the plastic cover
7. Check there is no contact between the Rip Fence and the table
surface
Note: Maintain an even gap across the full length of the Fence. The
gap should be as small as possible while still preventing the Rip Fence
dragging on the table surface. This prevents the material sliding under
the Rip Fence when working with thin strips of material.
Protractor gauge
• Loosen the Bench Locking Knob (49) and slide the Bench Rail (56)
into the T-Slot of the Workcentre chassis (Fig. XVIII)
• Tighten the Bench Locking Knob to secure the Protractor Gauge (48)
• Angle adjustment can be achieved by unlocking the Angle
Adjustment Knob (57) and turning the Protractor Gauge to the
desired angle
• The angle is displayed through the Angle Viewfinder (55)
• Adjust the Adjustable Front Fence (50) by loosening the two hex
bolts, to accommodate different sized workpieces
• Turn the Protractor Gauge around and set the angle to 0° to use the
45° Angle Fence (52) for a precise 45° cut
Dust extraction
WARNING: ALWAYS use a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust
extraction system.
WARNING: Some dust from natural wood, surface coatings, and
composite materials contain toxic substances. ALWAYS dispose of
harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
• While dust extraction can be achieved using any vacuum cleaner,
domestic (bag-type) units can fill up very quickly. For a much larger
capacity, consider fitting a Triton Dust Collector (DCA300) to your
vacuum cleaner
• The combined electrical load of the Contractor Saw and vacuum
cleaner may exceed the rated amperage of the domestic extension
lead or power outlet. Always connect the vacuum cleaner and
Contractor Saw to separate electrical outlets, and switch on both
appliances separately
Electrical connections
Note: The Workcentre features a mains isolator switch with Trailing
Socket to allow easy connectivity to power tools (Fig. XIX).
Connect the Workcentre to the mains via the Mains Plug.
• Use the Trailing Plug to connect power tools to the power supply
1. Power tools must be connected to the Workcentre switchbox
2. If necessary, suitable extension cords may be used to extend the
Workcentre's own power cable
WARNING: Use only extension cords that are in good condition, with
a sufficient cross section to carry the current the power tool will draw.
Undersized extensions will cause in-line voltage to drop, resulting in
power loss, overheating and burning out of the power tool motor.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and
hearing protection, and suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
EN
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that power be delivered to this tool via
an RCD with a residual current of 30mA or less.
IMPORTANT: The Contractor Saw Module is marked with the feed
direction - this indicates the correct and safest direction for the
workpiece when making the cut.
WARNING: Do not over-balance the Workcentre by using very large
workpieces.
WARNING: Ensure the Kerf Plate (29) is installed and levelled
correctly before use.

Note: Refer to your original TWX7 Workcentre instructions for full
information and diagrams that refer to parts of the Workcentre.
Workcentre switchbox operation
IMPORTANT: The switchbox requires a live mains connection to switch
'ON' . It will reset to 'OFF' as soon as power is disconnected and will
require resetting to 'ON' when power is restored to continue operation.
Switching ON & OFF
1. The Workcentre ON/OFF Switch is located at the front of the
Workcentre chassis (Fig. XIX)
2. Connect the Workcentre Mains Plug to a wall socket and switch to
the 'ON' position
3. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the 'O' position by
pushing on the 'Knee-Off' Stop Button
4. Connect the power tool's mains plug to the Power Tool Connection
Socket
5. Switch 'on' the power tool by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into the 'I'
position
• Press down on the Knee-Off Stop Button to switch OFF
Note: If the power supply is interrupted during use, the tool will not
restart. The ON/OFF Switch will need to be activated again to resume
operation.
User position & feed direction
• The main user position is defined by the location of Knee-Off Stop
Button
• ALWAYS remain positioned in close proximity to the ON/OFF Switch,
so the tool can be instantly switched off in the case of emergency
• Feed workpieces in the direction indicated by the arrows on the
Module Table Surface (34)
Using the table extensions (available as accessories)
• The (optional) Workcentre Outfeed Support (TWX7OS) and
Workcentre Side Support (TWX7SS) bars can be adjusted to provide
sturdy support to larger workpieces. Adjustability can be performed
by loosening the Outfeed Support Knobs, and/or the Side Support
Knobs, and extending the corresponding support bar to the size of
the workpiece
Adjusting the protractor gauge
Note: In order to increase the life span of the Protractor Gauge (48) it
is recommended that a sacrificial piece of wood should be fixed to the
fence.
1. With the Protractor Gauge located in the T-Slot, loosen the Bench
Locking Knob (49) and the Angle Adjustment Knob (57)
2. Adjust the angle of the Protractor Gauge, the angle is displayed
through the Angle
Viewfinder (55)
3. Lock the Angle Adjustment Knob securely, whilst only securing the
Bench Locking Knob until resistance is felt, to secure the Protractor
Gauge in the T-Slot
• Alternatively, if a 45° angle is required:
1. Remove the Protractor Gauge and reinstall so the Adjustable Front
Fence (50) is trailing
2. Ensure '0°' is displayed through the Angle Viewfinder and lock the
Angle Adjustment Knob
3. Use the 45° Angle Fence (52) to secure the workpiece
Push Stick use
WARNING: Performing cuts on small workpieces can be dangerous
and will require the use of push-sticks.
• A Push Stick (45) is included with this product. However, it may
be necessary to use more than one push-stick to safely cut your
workpiece
