10 Using the Optional Accessories
Triton Track Pack (TTSTP)
The Track Pack includes:
• 2 x 700mm / 27
9 ⁄
16
" lengths of track for optimum
performance of the Triton Plunge Track Saw
• 2 x track connectors
( Note: each connector consists of two parts)
Preparing the track
• Before first use it is necessary to trim the rubber kerf
strip running along one edge of each length of track
1. Secure the track to a suitable piece of scrap timber
2. Set the saw to scribe mode (see instructions for using
the saw earlier in this manual)
3. Perform a cut along the full length of the track. This will
trim the kerf strip to the exact size required for the saw
4. Dispose of the waste rubber strip
Maintaining the track
• Before first use and from time to time as needed, apply
a light spray of lubricant so that the saw will glide
smoothly along the length of the track
• Do not allow dust, shavings or other debris to build up
on the track
Connecting lengths of track
• Using the track connectors supplied in the track pack,
you can connect lengths of track for long cuts
• Each track connector comprises a spacer and an
expansion bar with hex screws
• Assemble each connector by fitting the spacer to the
side of the expansion bar opposite the heads of the hex
screws
1. Thread one track connector into the lower clamp
channel (on the underside of a length of track)
2. Ensure that the heads of the hex screws are facing
away from the track and therefore accessible
3. Position the connector half way into the channel so that
two hex screws are within the channel and
two exposed
4. Tighten the two hex screws in the channel to secure
the connector to the track
5. Now repeat this procedure, threading the second
connector into the upper clamp channel (on the
face of the track)
6. Again, ensure the heads of the hex screws are
accessible, and secure the connector in position by
tightening the hex screws
7. Thread the second track onto the free ends of the
connectors so that the two ends of track abut
8. Tighten the hex screws to secure the second length
of track to the first
Work Clamps (TTSWC)
Triton Work Clamps are ideal for clamping track quickly
and securely to the workpiece for fast, accurate cutting
1. Place the track on the
workpiece and align it along
the cutting line
2. Thread the thin top arm of
one clamp into the lower
clamp channel (running along
the underside of the track)
3. Pump the clamp handle to
raise and secure the grip to
the underside of the workpiece
4. Repeat the procedure at the other end of the track
Note: Clamps can also be inserted into the upper clamp
channel (on the face of the trace)
IMPORTANT: Ensure the workpiece is properly supported
close to the cut line. See ‘Workpiece support’ in the saw
section of this manual
T-Square (TTSTS)
• The T-Square provides an efficient way to ensure the
track is set at 90° to the workpiece for perfectly
square cuts
• It is particularly useful for ensuring consistency when
cutting multiple strips from a single piece of material
1. Thread the T-square into the lower clamp channel (on
the underside of the track) so that the flat side of the
T-square is facing the length of the track
2. Tighten the hex screw to
secure the T-Square
in position
3. Now, when you offer up the
track to the workpiece, the
T-Square lies flat against
the edge of the workpiece,
ensuring the track is set at
90° to the workpiece
Note: the T-Square takes up
140mm / 5 1 ⁄
2
" of track length
