Checking 45° angles
• After calibrating the bevel gauge to true 0°, set the bevel angle to 45° and check the Bevel
Angle Indicator (11) matches the Bevel Angle Gauge (12)
• Use an appropriate tool to measure and check the 45° bevel angle (Image V) then check
the opposite side
• If the tool is out and not true 45°, consult a qualified Triton service technician
Mitre angle 90° adjustment
The major adjustment of the mitre angle 0° position is achieved by altering the Fence
(17) position.
1. Set the Mitre Angle to 0° (See 'Adjusting the mitre angle') according to the Mitre Gauge (24)
and the Mitre Angle Indicator (40)
2. Lower the cutting head and lock in place with the Cutting Head Latching Pin (9) so that the
Blade (34) is in the Blade Channel (25)
3. Use a set square to check the 90° angle between the Fence (17) and the Blade (Image W)
4. If the Fence is not square with the Blade, loosen the hex bolts fixing the fence then make
minor adjustments until the Fence is 90° square on both sides of the blade
5. Retighten the Fence hex bolts
6. Release the Cutting Head Latching Pin and allow the cutting head to return to its
raised position
Replacing the throat plate
IMPORTANT: If the Throat Plate (26) is damaged or heavily worn, it must be replaced to ensure
safe operation of the tool.
1. Remove the Fence (17) and Upper Fence (18) from the Mitre Table (23)
2. Unscrew the Throat Plate (26) screws and remove the Throat Plate
3. Clean the Blade Channel (25) and fit the new Throat Plate, then retighten the screws
4. Refit the Fence, ensuring it is 90° square with the Blade (34) (see 'Mitre angle
90° adjustment')
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws and bolts are tight
• Inspect the tool's Power Cord (48) prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should
be carried out by an authorised Triton service centre. This advice also applies to extension
cords used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush or dry
cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts

Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the Brush Access Covers (2) from both side of the motor
(Image X). Remove the worn brushes and replace with new (Image Y), then replace
the covers
• Alternatively, have the tool serviced at an authorised service centre
Note: Always replace carbon brushes in pairs.
