Correct setting of blades

It is essential that the blades are set correctly or the workpiece will end up

rough and uneven. For a clean, smooth cut, the blades must be mounted so

that the cutting edge is absolutely level. i.e. parallel to the surface of the rear

base (b)

Nicks in surface

The cutting edge of one or all blades is not parallel to the rear base

Gouging at start

One or all blades are not protruding enough in relation to the rear base

Fitting the sanding drum (9-12)

• A Triton Sanding Drum (24) and sanding sleeve are supplied for use with

this tool. You can convert the Triton Unlimited Rebate Planer into a sander

by ﬁtting the sanding drum in place of the blade drum

• Replacement sanding sleeves are available from your Triton retailer (Part

no. TRPSS)

• Using the sanding drum and sleeve, this tool is ideal for quickly removing a

large amount of material

• Do not use this sander for sanding steel or magnesium

Fitting a sanding sleeve

The sanding drum is supplied in two sections. Separate the two sections in

order to ﬁt or remove a sanding sleeve

1. Ensure all the rubber ‘O’ rings are in place

2. Slide the sanding sleeve fully onto the larger section of the sanding drum

(Note: it will only ﬁt on one way)

3. Insert the smaller section of the sanding drum into the sanding sleeve and

align so that the groove in the inner ring of the smaller drum section ﬁts

over the nib on the spigot of the larger section

Fitting the sanding drum in the tool

• Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power

supply before installing or removing a drum

• To ﬁt or remove the sanding drum, use the same method as set out above

for ‘Removing the Blade Drum’ and ‘Reﬁtting the Blade Drum’

Parallel fence guide (13)

1. Fit the Parallel Fence Guide (23) using the ﬁxing angle and the Parallel

Fence Attachment Knob (22)

2. When set at right angles to the planer base, the fence provides a guide to

help control the planing action

Operation

Switching on and off

WARNING: Before plugging the machine into the power socket always check

that the On/Off Trigger Switch (5) and Lock-Off Button (6) work properly

1. Plug in the machine and grip the tool with your index ﬁnger on the on/off

trigger switch and thumb on the lock-off button

2. Depress the lock-off button with your thumb and squeeze the on/off trigger

switch, with the rest of your hand gripping the tool. You can release the

lock-off button once the planer has started

3. To stop the tool, release the thumb hold on the on/off trigger switch

4. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to operate both the lock-off

button and the on/off switch

Warning: Please note that the planer blades continue to turn 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

5. When the planer is not to be used for a short period, set the depth control

knob to the ‘P’ position and rest the front of the planer on a block of wood

to keep the base clear of the surface. Ensure that the rear parking foot is

down to protect blades

Adjusting the speed

The speed of the drum can be adjusted to suit the material being planed or

sanded.

Use the Variable Speed Control (25) to adjust the speed for the job in hand.

Note: For planing it is recommended to have the planer running at full speed to

obtain the cleanest possible result.

When sanding, the speed should be set from 1-6; on ‘MAX’ (maximum speed),

the unit will vibrate and be hard to hold.

Adjusting the depth of cut

1. Rotate the Depth Adjustment Dial (1) clockwise for a deeper cut and

anticlockwise for a shallower cut

2. The calibrations on the ring under the Depth Adjustment Dial indicate the

depth of cut. For example, when ‘1’ is next to the pointer on the front of the

planer, the depth of cut is approximately 1mm

3. If depth of cut is critical, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the

difference in thickness and adjust the setting as needed
