Adjusting the speed
• The speed can be adjusted to suit the material that requires sanding
• To adjust the speed, move the Speed Adjustment Dial (11) to the desired speed (Image F)

200m/min; when the Speed Adjustment Dial is set to the highest speed setting '7' the speed
is 400m/min.
Sanding
WARNING: Always wear eye protection, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection, and
suitable gloves when working with this tool.
Note: Always use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.
WARNING: Do not use this sander for sanding magnesium.
Note: Always ensure the belt is in good condition.
1. Connect the tool to the power supply
2. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (10) and allow the belt to reach the desired speed before
lowering the belt on to the surface of the workpiece
3. If you require continuous operation, press the Lock-On Button (9)
4. Lower the unit onto the surface of the workpiece and apply slight pressure
5. Sand in the direction of the grain, in parallel, with overlapping strokes (Image G)
6. To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at 45° in two directions,
and then finish in the direction of the grain
7. Lift the sander off the workpiece before switching off the power
8. Remember to keep hands away from the moving sanding belt, as it will continue to run for a
short time after the machine is switched OFF
Note: For optimum dust removal, empty the Dust Collection Bag (20) when it is no more than
half full.
WARNING: Do not use the Dust Collection Bag when sanding metal. The hot metal particles
could cause residual wood dust of the bag itself to catch fire. A vacuum cleaner adaptor can
be used to connect a household vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system to the
sander. The adaptor fits into the Dust Extraction Port (4).
Using the Inversion Clamp set
• The Inversion Clamps (19) set enables use of the Triton Belt Sander in an inverted position
(Image H). The sander must only be used in an inverted position when clamped securely to
a suitable structure with a solid, flat work surface
1. Invert the machine and place on a solid, flat work surface. Ensure the underside is flat and
there is sufficient access to accommodate the length of the G clamp bases
2. Insert the Inversion Clamps fully into the fixing positions on the sander. Ensure the vertical
threaded section of each Inversion Clamp is tight up against the edge of the work surface
3. Tighten the butterfly nuts so that the sander is securely clamped to the work surface
4. Fit the Dust Collection Bag (20) or compatible dust extraction system
5. Turn on the sander and use the Lock-On Button (9) to keep the sander running continuously
6. Check that the sanding belt is securely fixed to the sander and that it is correctly aligned
while the tool is operating. If necessary, switch the sander OFF and re-fix to the sander
WARNING: DO NOT use the sander inverted unless it is securely clamped to the work surface.
Note: When the belt sander is being clamped, use the Bench-Mounting Mat (17) beneath the
belt sander to protect the work surface from damage and to prevent the belt sander from
moving.

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.
Emptying the dust collection bag (if fitted)
WARNING: Always switch the belt sander OFF and disconnect from the power supply before
detaching the Dust Collection Bag (20) or dust extraction system.
1. To remove the Dust Collection Bag, rotate outwards to disengage the bayonet, then pull off
(Image A)
2. Unzip the Dust Collection Bag, empty, and refit (see 'Connecting the Dust Collection Bag')
Note: If the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint,
varnish, surface coatings etc, always dispose of in accordance with laws and regulations.
Note: For optimum dust removal, empty the Dust Collection Bag when it is no more than
half full.
Note: Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from sanding wood to sanding metal
and vice versa.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time
• Inspect the mains 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; always check for wear or damage and see the manufacturer of
the product for repairs, if possible
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or
dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts

Lubrication

• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
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
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, both brushes will need replacing
simultaneously
Replacing the brushes:
WARNING: Ensure that the belt sander is switched OFF and the mains power cord is
unplugged from the power source before attempting to replace the brushes.
1. Locate the Vented Motor Cover (12) on the belt sander and the two screw-in Brush Covers
(13)
2. Remove the Brush Covers with a flat-tipped screwdriver, then remove the two brushes
3. Note the notches on the brush ends, which align with the fitment in the Brush Cover holes,
and place the new brush inside then screw the Brush Cover back in
Note: Fitting the new brushes can be done one at a time, but it is recommended that both
brushes be replaced during the same session.
4. Once both brushes have been replaced, plug the belt sander in to the power socket and
switch ON. Run the belt sander to test that the replacement has worked
5. If there is no power, retry from step 1. If there is still no power after a second attempt to fit
the brushes, see your Triton service technician
Changing the drive belt
Note: A spare drive belt is supplied with the sander. Further replacements and other spare
parts are available from your Triton stockist or from toolsparesonline.com.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws holding the Drive Belt Cover (5) in place
2. Remove the worn belt by easing it off the bottom, larger drive pulley, and then lift away
3. Clean all dust and debris away, if any
4. Place the new drive belt over the top drive pulley and push onto the larger puller, then rotate
the belt until it is on both pulleys and located in the grooves of each pulley
5. Replace the Drive Belt Cover and screw the fixing screws tight
6. Test the belt sander on a low speed. If fitted correctly, the belt sander is ready to use
