MAINTENANCE
POWER CORD MAINTENANCE
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task
must be carried out by the manufacturer,
the manufacturer's agent, or an authorised
service centre in order to avoid a safety
hazard.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Always ensure that the tool
is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws
are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
• Regularly check that the saw arbors
and arbor washer are clean, and free of
built-up gum deposits or caked-on saw
dust. Check that the faces of the arbor
washers are smooth and free from burrs.
Check that the blade retaining bolt is
correctly tightened.
• Check the operation of the spring-loaded
lower guard. It must close quickly and
without scraping anywhere. Remove the
blade and clean accumulated saw dust or
wood slivers from the guard area.
• Occasionally check the tension of the
micro-adjustment knob, and if necessary
tighten or loosen the Nyloc nut.
• The saw ventilation slots should be kept
clean and clear of any foreign matter. Use
a lightly dampened cloth to wipe the saw
clean - do not use solvents.
• Regularly check the saw blade for
flatness. Use of the saw with a buckled
blade places excessive load on the motor
and gearbox assembly, and may affect
your warranty rights.
BLADE MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check that the blade is free
from a build up of gum resins or saw dust.
If necessary clean with a solvent such as
WD40, RP7 or mineral turpentine.
• The tungsten carbide teeth should be
checked regularly for sharpness and
tooth breakages, and repaired or re-
sharpened as required. Note that when
re-sharpening, the bevel angles on the
front of the teeth should be retained. If
your local saw sharpener cannot provide
this service, please contact the Triton
office for referral to a suitably equipped
saw sharpening service.
CLEANING
1. Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and
clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning
is best done with a soft brush or a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at
regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean
the plastic parts of the tool. A damp
cloth is recommended, water must
never come into contact with the saw.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
• The carbon brushes are a consumable
item which should be inspected
periodically and replaced when worn.
• With the saw disconnected from power,
unscrew the brush caps located near
the end of the motor. Remove the
brushes by pulling carefully on the
protruding springs.
• If either of the brushes is worn to
less than 6mm long, they must both
be replaced using genuine Triton
replacement brushes - available from
Authorised Triton Saw Repair Centres.

Ltd. will not be responsible for any damage
