and medium-duty sanding, or planing with adjustable depth of cut and

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully 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

Before Use

WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the tool is switched OFF and
unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments,
and before fitting or removing the blade or sanding drums.
Replacing Blades
• Always completely remove the blade drum prior to installing new
blades. For your own safety, it is not recommended to remove the
planer blades while the drum is still installed in the planer
• The planer is fitted with reversible blades. Blades can be reversed when blunt.
After both sides of the blade have been used, they must be discarded.
• Replacement planer blades are available from your Triton retailer (Part no. TRPPB)
Removing the Blade Drum
WARNING: The blades are very sharp. Take care when handling the drum.
1. Place the planer on its side so that the motor is facing down
2. Press the Drum Guard Release Lever (3) to raise the Drum
Guard (17) for access to the Blade Drum (16)
3. Insert the short end of the supplied Hex Key (13) into the screw
head in the centre of the blade drum (Image A)
4. Press the Drum Spindle Lock Button (26), and rotate the drum until it is locked.
Note: The blade drum has two lock out positions.
5. Keep the spindle locked whilst you loosen and remove the hex
head screw, and then the two flat washers (Image B)
6. Carefully remove the drum from the spindle (Image C)
Removing planer blades
1. Secure the blade drum in a vice with one Blade (14) facing up so that it is accessible
2. Protect the drum with a cloth or similar padding when putting it in the vice
3. Using the Spanner (12), loosen the three screws on the blade clamp
(Image D) just sufficiently to remove the clamp from the drum
4. Carefully remove the blade from the blade clamp slot (Image E)
Installing planer blades
• The blades have a cutting edge on both sides so are reversible. If a blade is worn or
damaged on one side, you can re-install it the other way round to use the other cutting edge
IMPORTANT: A single blade may be replaced only if it is damaged. If the blade
is worn, you must replace all three blades in the drum to prevent unbalanced
operation, which can cause dangerous vibration and damage to the tool.
• If replacing blades, use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or the drum
will oscillate and vibrate causing poor planing action and possibly breakdown
• The quality of finish relies on correct installation of the blades. Clean away any
woodchips or other foreign matter adhering to the blade drum or clamps
1. Slide the blade into the slot in the blade clamp so that:
• The new cutting edge is face up
• The raised back of the blade is positioned on the opposite side to the clamping
screws, and the flat face of the blade is pointing towards the clamping screws
2. Check that the blade is centred in the slot and is fully inserted. This is essential
in order to enable correct rebating and to prevent the blade coming into contact
with the drum guard—this may break the guard and cause an injury
3. Re-fit the blade clamp, ensuring it is facing the correct way and it sits square in the drum
4. Tighten the Clamping Screws 1 3 2 (15) evenly as follows (Image F):
• Tighten the two outside clamping screws snug tight, then the middle screw
• Working in the same order, fully tighten all three screws
5. Loosen the vice and rotate the drum to repeat the above
procedure to fit the other two blades
Refitting the Blade Drum
1. Place the planer on its side
2. Raise the Drum Guard (17)
3. Slide the Blade Drum (16) onto the spindle and into the housing (Image G)
4. Press in the Drum Spindle Lock Button (26) and rotate the Drum (16) until it is locked
in place. Continue to hold the lock button until you have secured the drum in position
Note: The blade drum has two lock out positions.
5. Re-insert the large washer, adjusting its position so that
it engages onto the end of the spindle
6. Insert the smaller washer followed by the hex head screw
WARNING: If the larger washer is not correctly orientated the drum cannot be firmly secured.
7. Use the Hex Key (13) to fully tighten the hex head screw to secure the drum in position
8. Release the spindle lock and close the drum guard
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 the cutting
edge is absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the surface of the rear base (b)(Fig. III)
Nicks in the surface
• The cutting edge of one or all blades is not parallel to the rear base (Fig. IV)
Gouging at start
• One or all blades are not protruding enough in relation to the rear base (Fig. V)
Fitting the Sanding Drum
• 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'
