belt sander to protect the work surface from damage and to prevent the belt sander from
moving.

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.

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
