SANDING
To use this tool as a sander, fit the sanding
drum and sleeve designed for this tool. See
‘Fitting the Sanding Drum’
Replacement sanding sleeves are available
from your Triton retailer (Part no. TRPSS)
• Wear safety goggles, a dust mask and
earmuffs
4. Check that the sanding drum and
sanding sleeve are in good condition and fixed securely
5. IMPORTANT : Set the planing Depth Adjustment Dial (1) to the ‘O’ height
setting
6. Use the Variable Speed Control (25) to set an appropriate speed 1 - 6. Do
not use the MAX setting as this will cause the sander to vibrate
7. Depress the Lock-Off Button (6) and squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch
(5). Allow the motor to reach the set speed before bringing the sander into
contact with the workpiece
8. Sand with the grain, in parallel overlapping strokes.
9. Adjust the variable speed dial as required
10. To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at 45º
in two directions, and then finish the parallel with the grain
11. Lift the sander off the workpiece before switching it off
• Remember to keep your hands away from the moving sanding drum, as it
will continue to move for a short time after the machine is switched off
Note: After sanding with a drum sander, use of an orbital sander is recom-
mended to achieve a smoother finished surface
DUST/SHAVINGS EXTRACTION
1. Connect the Dust/Chip Adaptor Tube (21) to the Dust/Chip Extraction Port
(10)
2. The adaptor tube can be installed to allow shavings to flow either to the
left or to the right of the workpiece
3. Use the Dust Diverter Guide Switch (9) to
select the Dust/Chip Extraction Port (10).
Swing the lever across to close the port
you do not want to use
4. A workshop dust extraction system or
a household vacuum cleaner can be
connected to the adaptor tube for the
efficient removal of dust and shavings,
permitting a safer and cleaner working
environment
MAINTENANCE
WARNING : Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug
is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.
GENERAL INSPECTION
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose
over time
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, 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
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
It is suggested that you wear leather gloves to change the belt in case you
make contact with the blades
1. To replace the drive belt first take out the five crosshead screws that
secure the drive belt cover on the left-hand side of the planer as viewed
from the rear
2. Remove the damaged belt and use a soft brush to clean the pulleys and
the surrounding area
Note : Wear eye protection when cleaning out the pulley area.
3. With the four continuous ‘V’ profiles on the inside, place the new belt over
the bottom pulley
Half fit the other end of the belt on the top pulley then roll the belt in place
whilst turning the pulley
4. Check that the belt runs evenly by manually turning the belt
5. Replace the cover and the five fixing screws
6. Connect the tool to the power supply and run the planer for a minute or
two to make sure that the motor and belt are operating correctly
