k) ALWAYS switch OFF and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before
attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance
l) ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply when leaving the machine unattended
m) When not in use, disconnect from the power source and place the front base on a
wooden block so that the blades are not in contact with anything
n) Replace all blades at the same time. Otherwise, the resulting imbalance will cause
vibration and shorten the service life of the planer and blades
Cutting Tool Safety
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of
the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a
power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable without
checking the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product; normal lenses
are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that you and others around you wear suitable dust masks
Protect your hands
• Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a suitable push stick for
shorter workpieces with appropriate power tools
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the use to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work area
are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable protective
equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the
cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long
grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area thoroughly before
proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the
user's responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from the
possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches/adjusters are
removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your tool
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to re-sharpen blades that are not suitable for re-sharpening. These may
include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically containing
tungsten
• Blades that can be re-sharpened should be re-sharpened only according to the blade
manufacturer's instructions. These may include a limited number of times the blade can be
GB
re-sharpened
• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced
immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use
• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable
for, blades should be replaced immediately
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade or
cutter
8
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until
they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust/swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is
explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a
common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment

Intended Use
Electric mini hand-planer for light and medium-duty planing with adjustable cutting depth and
8mm rebate depth. Can be used on hard and soft wood.
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 blades.
Replacing blades
• 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
Removing & installing the planer blades
WARNING: Planer blades are sharp! Always wear protective gloves when handling 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 both blades in the drum to prevent unbalanced operation, which can cause
dangerous vibration and damage 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. Rotate the Blade Drum (11) so one Blade (12) faces up and is accessible
2. Using the Spanner (8)(Fig. I), loosen the three Blade Clamp Bolts (14) (Fig. II) just sufficiently
to remove the Blade from the drum
3. Carefully remove the Blade from the Blade Clamp slot, using a small piece of wood to push
the Blade out (Fig. III)
