Service & Maintenance; Replacing The Saw Blade - Triton TRBS12 Bedienungs- & Sicherheitsanweisung

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
• Switch off the motor and disconnect
the machine from mains power before
commencing any service or maintenance on
the machine.
• Any damage to the machine should be repaired
and carefully inspected before use by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
• Servicing should only be carried out by
authorised Triton Repair Centres using original
Triton replacement parts. Follow instructions
carefully. Use of unauthorised or faulty parts
may result in electrocution or injury.
• Triton Precision Power Tools will not be
responsible for any damage or injury caused
by unauthorised repair or by mishandling of
the tool.
• Ensure the tilting components of the table
and the blade tensioning device are slightly
greased. Do not use a brush or scraper to
clean the saw blade while the machine is
running.
• Regularly check positioning of the upper and
lower blade guides and the counterpressure
bearings. If required, readjust them as detailed
on page 13 or remove them and grease or
exchange the parts.
• Replace worn-out Table Inserts (21).

REPLACING THE SAW BLADE

1. Remove the Fence Track (8).
2. Open the Access Door (12) by releasing the
Upper (15) and Lower (27) Door Locks. Rotate
the steel bar at the top of the door to hold the
door open.
3. Reduce the saw blade
tension by rotating the
Saw Blade Tensioning
Knob (13) anti-clockwise.
4. Carefully slide the saw blade off the upper and
lower blade wheels.
5. Carefully insert the
new blade over the
lower then upper
blade wheel and
tighten the tensioning
knob slightly while
turning the blade
wheel manually, in the cutting direction, until
the blade positions evenly on the wheels.
The tensioning is
dependent on the
saw blade width.
Use the gauge on
the rear of the
bandsaw to set the
required tension for
your saw blade width.
Broad saw blades require a greater tension
than narrower ones.
Too much tension can cause premature
breakage of the saw blade.
6. Confirm that the saw
blade runs centrally on
the blade wheels. If
necessary continue
turning the upper
blade wheel manually
and adjust the
sideways position of
the blade by loosening the thumbnut and
turning the saw blade tracking knob (14).
Re-tighten the thumbnut once you are satisfied
with the blade position.
7. Close and lock the access door.
ADJUSTING THE SAW BLADE GUIDES
1. Counter-pressure
bearings support the
blade against feed
pressure during a cut.
Use the 3mm Hex Key
(34) to position the
Upper (19) and Lower
Counter-Pressure
bearings slightly against the back of the saw
blade.
