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. Saw Tables 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 Saw Tables with a
Serial No. less than 8,000.
MAINTENANCE
Saw Bench Guide / 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 flatness. 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.
SAW 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.
• 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.
