Positioning
• In order to cut the corresponding slot in the face of the joining
workpiece, the machine needs to be positioned perpendicular
to that face (images D, E & F).
• It is recommended that you work with the machine bearing
down on the workpiece, so that the weight of the machine
works with the direction of operation, as opposed to attempting
to drive holes upwards from below the workpiece.
• If you need to cut a slot too far from an edge (internal or pocket
cut) remove the Fence (30) by loosening the Fence Locking
Knob (29) and lifting off the tool. The jointer can now rest
vertically on a surface and be positioned freely - even on large
workpieces (Image A). Ensure the tool is secure in position
before cutting. Clamped wood on the surface of the workpiece
can be used as a guide which will prevent the tool moving on
both axes.
• For some other cuts the Fence will prevent the cut and will need
to be removed (Image G).

Changing the saw blade
WARNING: ALWAYS wear cut-proof gloves when handling saw
blades.
IMPORTANT: Never fit a damaged, heavily worn or blunt saw
blade.
IMPORTANT: The saw blade rpm must match or exceed the no load
speed of the tool (see specification).
1. Turn the device on its back, with the bottom of the Base (12)
facing upward.
2. Unscrew the Blade Access Knob (21) until the Base Lid (31) can
be raised. Ensure the Fence (30) is at a height away from the
Base.
3. Press the Spindle Lock Button (2) and use the supplied pin
spanner to remove the Threaded Blade Flange (33).
4. Remove the Saw Blade (32).
5. Insert a new Saw Blade of identical type and dimensions (see
'Specification').
WARNING: ALWAYS observe the direction of rotation, as
indicated by the Direction Indicator (35 & 3).
6. Refit the Threaded Blade Flange, press in the Spindle Lock
Button and tighten the Threaded Blade Flange with the pin
spanner.
7. Release the Spindle Lock Button, lower the Base Lid and
re-tighten the Blade Access Knob.
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye
protection and gloves when cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause
internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the device's service
life.
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning
is not sufficient, a mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended.
• Water must never come into contact with the tool.
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it.
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the
ventilation holes (where applicable).
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:
1. Remove the Handle Screws (20) that secure the Main Handle
(18) housing.
2. Remove the two sides carefully making sure not to pull or
damage the cables.
3. Carefully use a screwdriver to push in the small notch at the
front indicated by the lower arrow (Image I).
4. Carefully press in the other side of the brush base as indicated
with the upper arrow then carefully remove the brush from the
brush housing.
5. Remove both worn brushes and replace with new (Image J),
ensuring the small protrusions on the inside of the tool line up
correctly with the new carbon brushes (Image K).
6. Refit the housing carefully then insert and tighten the Handle
Screws.
• Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised Triton
service centre.
Note: Always replace carbon brushes in pairs.
