Replacing The Saw Blade; Blade Maintenance - Triton TA 184CSL Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad

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 185mm (7 ⁄ ") blades, with a kerf between 2.2
1
4
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 will 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 the power supply.
2. Place the supplied Pin Wrench (17) inside the two holes
located on the outer blade flange. Insert Hex Key (18)
into the hole in the blade bolt.
MAINTENANCE
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 any part of the
tool. 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.

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.
3. Whilst tightly holding the pin wrench, turn the hex key
in the direction of the blade's rotation (anti-clockwise).
When the blade bolt is free from the arbor hole, remove
the bolt and blade flange.
4. Hold back the Lower Blade Guard (7) completely,
carefully lift the worn blade off the inner washer on the
shaft and slide the blade through the baseplate.
5. Keeping the lower blade guard fully retracted, carefully
slide the new blade through the base plate 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.
6. Refit the outer blade flange then lightly screw the blade
bolt through the outer blade flange.
7. Check the blade sits flush between the inner and outer
flanges then tighten firmly with pin wrench and hex key.
• 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.
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. Remove
the brushes by pulling carefully on the protruding
springs.
