Maintenance
WARNING: 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 sawdust. 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 sawdust 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
Replacing the saw blade
WARNING: Ensure that the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before
making any adjustments or installing or removing blades.
• Only use 235mm (9¼") blades, with a kerf between 2.2 and 3.5mm, designed for circular
saws with a no-load speed rating of at least 5000rpm. Never fit high speed steel blades or
abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose or different sized blades could void the warranty
• Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is flat, sharp and free of cracks or
defects
1. Ensure the saw is disconnected from power
2. Hold in the Spindle Lock Button (19) and use the 6mm Hex Key (20) supplied to remove
the arbor bolt (Image X) - turn in the direction of the blade rotation. The shaft will turn
slightly before locking, allowing the bolt and outer arbor washer to be removed
3. Holding the Lower Blade Guard (8) fully back, carefully lift the worn blade off the inner
washer on the shaft and slide the blade through the baseplate (Image XI)
4. Now, keeping the Lower Blade Guard fully retracted, carefully slide the new blade through
the baseplate and position it onto the inner washer on the shaft. The graphics should face
out and the arrow on the blade should point in the same direction as the arrow on the
guard
5. Refit the outer arbor washer and, while depressing the Spindle Lock Button, tighten the
arbor bolt firmly into position – turn against the direction of blade rotation
6. Ensure the blade sits flush between the inner and outer washers, then tighten firmly with
the Hex Key
Blade maintenance
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build-up of gum resins or sawdust. If
necessary, clean with a solvent such as WD40, RP7 or mineral turpentine
• 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
• 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. The tungsten carbide
teeth should be checked regularly for sharpness and tooth breakages, and repaired or
re-sharpened as required. Contact the manufacturer
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly with a cloth or soft brush
3. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. A damp cloth is recommended. Water
must never come into contact with the saw
4. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals
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 (Image XII). Remove the brushes by pulling carefully on the protruding springs
(Image XIII)
• If either brush is worn to less than 6mm long, both brushes must be replaced using
genuine Triton replacement brushes - available from Authorised Triton Saw Repair Centres
