PREPARATION

INTENDED USE

OPERATION

UNPACKING YOUR TOOL

Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise

yourself with all its features and functions.

Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good

condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such

parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.

The Triton Planer is packed, fully assembled except for the

dust extraction adaptor and combined parallel and bevel

fence guide.

Adjusting the front handle

1. Hinge out the Front Handle Lock Lever (9) and move

the front handle to one of four positions to best suit

the task at hand

2. Hinge back lever (9) to secure the front handle in the

selected position

Note: If necessary, the lever

action mechanism can be

adjusted using the Front

Handle Set Screw (13).

Adjusting the depth of cut

CAUTION: Always ensure that the tool is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making

adjustments or installing or removing blades.

Note: The Power Indicator (2) lights when the tool is

connected to a live mains supply. This is a quick indicator

of a live power connection to the tool for normal use but

it is important to still physically check the power tool is

disconnected from the mains when

making adjustments or installing or

removing blades.

1. Rotate the Depth Adjustment

Knob (12) clockwise for a

deeper cut and anti-clockwise

for a shallower cut

2. The numbers on the ring under

the depth adjustment knob indicate the depth of cut.

There are 8 click stop positions from 0.25-2.00mm that

increment by 0.25mm

3. If it is necessary to plane to a precise depth, plane

a scrap piece of wood, measure the difference in

thickness and adjust the setting if necessary

4. To check accuracy and tolerance of the Movable Front

Base (11) set the depth adjustment knob to the ‘0’

position so the blade can be measured against the

Fixed Rear Base (6) and Movable Front Base (11). The

rear base, blade and front base should be at the same

level at the ‘0’ position

5. After use always move the depth adjustment knob

to the ‘P’ parked position. This protects the blade by

moving the movable front base so that the blade is not

in contact with the surface the planer is resting on

Intended Use / Preparation / Operation

Switching On and Off

CAUTION: Before plugging the machine into the power

point always check that the Trigger Switch (3) and Trigger

Safety Lock (4) work properly. Before switching on, ensure

that the blade drum or blade is not making contact with

any surface.

1. Plug in the machine, push in the Trigger Safety Lock

(4) and pull the Trigger Switch (3)

2. To stop the tool, simply release the trigger Switch

3. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to

operate both the Trigger Safety Lock (4) and the Trigger

Switch (3). This is an important safety feature that

helps prevent accidental operation of the planer

CAUTION: Please note that the planer blades continue to

spin for some time after switching off the planer. Wait until

the motor has completely stopped before setting down the

tool to prevent damage to the planer blades or the surface.

• If you wish to rest the planer on its side, do not rest it

on the side with the vents to prevent dust or chips from

getting into the motor

• When the planer is not to be used for a short period, set

the depth control knob to the ‘P’ parked position and

make sure both bases (6) and (11) are both resting on

the same level surface

Large hand-held electric planer for heavy duty planing tasks on hard and softwood timber.
