Ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power point before making any
adjustments or carrying out maintenance procedures.
Blade maintenance
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build up
of gum resins or sawdust. If necessary clean with an
appropriate cleaning agent or multi-use lubricant spray
• 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
• Check the tungsten carbide teeth regularly for
sharpness and breakages; re-sharpen or replace
the blade as required. Note that when re-sharpening,
the bevel angles on the front of the teeth should be
retained
Replacing the saw blade
• Only use 165mm / 6-
1 ⁄
2
" blades, with a kerf between
2.2 & 3.5mm / 3 ⁄
32
" & 9 ⁄
64
", designed for circular saws
with a no-load speed rating of at least 5000min -1
• 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. Rotate the Mode Selection Lever (20)
to Blade Change position
2. Press the Plunge Lock Button (2) and plunge the saw.
The saw will lock at the depth that allows access to
the blade retaining bolt through the panel in the Blade
Housing (22)
3. Fit the Hex Key (21) to the bolt and depress the Spindle
Lock (19)
4. Turn the hex key in the direction of blade rotation (anti-
clockwise) to undo the bolt and remove the bolt and
outer flange
5. Carefully lift the worn blade off the inner washer on the
shaft and slide the blade out through the aperture at
the bottom of the blade housing and set aside
6. Carefully slide the new blade in through the bottom of
the blade housing 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 housing
7. Refit the outer blade flange then lightly screw the blade
retaining bolt through the outer blade flange
8. Check that the blade is seated properly, depress the
spindle lock and tighten the bolt firmly with the hex key
9. Depress the plunge lock button to release the plunge
lock and allow the blade to retract fully into the housing
Cleaning
• Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all
times
• Remove dust and dirt regularly with a cloth or soft
brush
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. A damp
cloth is recommended. Water must never come into
contact with the saw
• 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
1. With the saw disconnected from power, unscrew the
Brush Access Caps (11). Remove the brushes by pulling
carefully on the protruding springs
2. If either brush is worn to less than 6mm / 15 ⁄
64
" long,
both brushes must be replaced using genuine Triton
replacement brushes - available from Authorised Triton
Saw Repair Centres
3. Replace/re-fit the brushes, re-fit the brush access caps
and tighten firmly in place
