Maintenance – Triton TTS 1400 User Manual

Page 9

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-

⁄

" blades, with a kerf between

2.2 & 3.5mm /

⁄

" &

⁄

", 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
