Service / Trouble Shooting
SERVICE
• Any damage to the router should be repaired and
carefully inspected by qualified repair personnel before
use. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in injury.
• Servicing should only be carried out by authorised
Triton Repair Centres using original Triton replacement
parts. Follow instructions carefully and refer to
‘Troubleshooting’ for problem identification and advice.
Use of unauthorised or faulty parts may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
• Triton Precision Tools will not be responsible for any
damage or injury caused by unauthorised repair of the
router or by mishandling of the tool.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
The carbon brushes are a consumable item which should
be inspected periodically and replaced when worn. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the motor.
1. With the router disconnected from power, unscrew
the Brush Caps (3) located on the front and rear of the
motor.
2. Remove the brushes by pulling carefully on the
protruding springs.
3. If either of the brushes is
worn to less than 6mm
long, they must both be
replaced using genuine
Triton replacement brushes
- available from Authorised
Triton Repair Centres.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
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.
