SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
• Any damage to the saw should be repaired and
carefully inspected before use, by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result
in a risk of injury.
• Servicing should only be carried out by
authorised Triton Repair Centres using original
Triton replacement parts. Follow instructions
carefully and refer to "Trouble-shooting" for
problem identification and advice. Use of
unauthorised or faulty parts may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
• Triton Manufacturing & Design Co. will not be
responsible for any damage or injury caused
by unauthorised repair of the saw or by
mishandling of the tool.
• Regularly check that the saw arbor, arbor
washers and bore reducing spacer 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 retracting guard.
It must close quickly and without scraping
anywhere. Remove the blade and clean
accumulated saw dust or wood slivers from the
guard area.
• 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 saw dust. 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.
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.
