Operation / Maintenance
• Do not operate the saw upside down unless
securely mounted and guarded in a reputable
saw bench (eg. a Triton Workcentre or Triton
Compact Saw Table).
SAW BENCH MOUNTING ALIGNMENT
The Triton Precision Power Saw has been
specifically designed to easily fit all model Triton
Workcentres (MK3 and Series 2000), and Compact
Saw Tables. Follow the saw mounting and alignment
procedures outlined in the instruction manual for
the bench you have purchased.
SERIES 2000 WORKCENTRES
If you have a Series 2000 Workcentre with a Serial
No. of 335,000 onwards, the saw slide chassis is
made of pressed steel, painted silver. It has facilities
for attaching two alignment cams for easy mounting
and positioning of the Triton Precision Power Saw.
The cams (which are included with the Workcentre
slide chassis) allow the front and rear of the saw to
be side-shifted by up to 1.5mm in either direction to
ensure perfect alignment with the overhead guard
support and the rip fence.
TRITON COMPACT SAW TABLES
The Triton saw is easily fitted to all Triton Compact
Saw Tables. Compacts with a Serial No. of 8,000
onwards can utilise the above-mentioned saw
alignment feature. The alignment cams are included
with the Compact Saw Table. This feature cannot
be used on Compacts with a Serial No. less than
8,000.
MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check that the saw arbor, arbor
washers and bore reducing spacer 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 guard.
It must close quickly and without scraping
against any part of the machine. Remove the
blade and clean accumulated sawdust or wood
slivers from the guard area.
• Occasionally check the tension of the Micro-
Adjustment Knob, (13) and if necessary tighten
or loosen the Nyloc nut near the base of the
assembly.
• 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 atness. Use
of the saw with a buckled blade places excessive
load on the motor and gearbox assembly, and
may affect your warranty.
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, as shown. If either
of the brushes are worn to less than 6mm long,
they must both be replaced using genuine Triton
replacement brushes - available from Authorised
Triton Saw Repair Centres.
