Parallel Fence Guide
1. Fit the Parallel Fence Guide (23) using the fixing angle and the
Parallel Fence Attachment Knob (22) (Image H)
2. When set at right angles to the planer base, the fence provides
a guide to help control the planing action
Operation
Switching ON & 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 tool and grip the tool with index finger on the ON/
OFF Trigger Switch and thumb on the Lock-Off Button
2. With the rest of your hand gripping the tool, depress the Lock-Off
Button with your thumb and squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch. You
can release the Lock-Off Button once the planer has started
3. To stop the tool, release the finger hold on the ON/OFF Trigger Switch
4. In order to restart the tool, repeat steps 1–2
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 adjust 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
Planing
WARNING: Moving the tool too fast may cause a poor quality of cut and can damage
the blades or the motor. Moving the tool too slowly may burn or mar the cut. The
proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the depth of the
cut. Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct motion.
WARNING: Always use two hands to hold the planer.
WARNING: Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a workbench.
1. Rest the front of the planer on the workpiece, ensuring the
blades are not in contact with the workpiece
2. Switch ON the tool and wait for the blades to reach full speed
3. Move the planer gently forward, applying pressure on the front of the tool at the start
of planing, and pressure at the rear of the tool towards the end of the planing stroke
Note: As a feature this planer has been fitted with a larger front handle than traditional electric
planers. The front handle provides for good ergonomics when planing, allows the operator
to balance and control the unit with ease and is particularly useful when vertical planing.
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting it downwards
Note: Planing is easier if you incline the workpiece slightly
away from you so that you plane 'downhill'.
5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the quality of the finish. For
rough cutting, you can increase the depth of cut; however, to achieve a good finish,
you will need to reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly
GB
6. In between operations, you can rest the planer on a flat surface with the
Rear Parking Foot (19) hinged down to support the planer so that the blades
are kept clear of the surface. Ensure the rear parking foot has been moved
across from the locked position (for transit) to the automatic position
Chamfering
1. To make a chamfered cut (Fig. I), align the 'V' groove (Fig. II) in the
front base of the planer with the corner edge of the workpiece
2. Run the planer along the corner edge

Full/unlimited rebating
• The planer has an unlimited rebating capability. When operating the
planer to achieve a full rebate, adhere to all instructions below.
1. With the hand gripping the Front Handle (2), use the thumb to push the
Drum Guard Release Lever (3) down to raise the Drum Guard (17), which
will expose the Blade Drum (16). This enables full unlimited rebating
2. Run the planer along the workpiece
3. Once you have finished planing the section, take the pressure off the Drum Guard
Release Lever and check the Drum Guard fully covers the blade drum
WARNING: DO NOT raise the drum guard if you are not
performing a full/unlimited rebate application.
WARNING: If the drum guard does not close completely, stop using the tool
immediately and have the unit serviced by a qualified service technician. If
you use the product with a defective blade drum guard, the manufacturer
will not be held liable for any damage or personal injury caused.
Note: Do not apply too much force on the lever. Excess
pressure may cause blade guard to break.
Sanding
• To use this tool as a sander, fit the sanding drum and sleeve
designed for this tool. See 'Fitting the Sanding Drum'
• Replacement sanding sleeves are available from your Triton stockist (part no. TRPSS)
• Wear safety goggles, a dust mask and earmuffs
1. Check that the Sanding Drum and sanding sleeve are in good conditions and fixed securely
IMPORTANT: Set the planing Depth Adjustment Dial (1) to the 'O' height setting.
2. Use the Variable Speed Control (25) to set an appropriate speed 1–6.
Do not use MAX setting as this will cause the sander to vibrate
3. Depress the Locke-Off Button (6) and squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (5). Allow the
motor to reach the set speed before bringing the sander into contact with the workpiece
4. Sand with the grain, in parallel overlapping strokes
5. Adjust the variable speed dial as required
6. To remove paint of smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at
45° in two directions, and then finish the parallel with the grain
7. Lift the sander OFF the workpiece before switching it OFF
WARNING: Remember to keep your hands away from the moving sanding drum;
it will continue to move for a short time after the tool has been switched OFF.
Note: After sanding with a drum sander, use of an orbital sander is
recommended to achieve a smoother finished surface.
Dust/shavings extraction
1. Connect the Dust/Chip Adaptor Tube (21) to the Dust/Chip Extraction Port (10)
2. The adaptor tube can be installed to allow shavings to flow
either to the left or to the right of the workpiece
3. Use the Dust Diverter Guide Switch (9) to select the Dust/Chip Extraction
Port. Swing the lever across to close the port you do not want to use
4. A workshop dust extraction system or a household vacuum cleaner can
be connected to the adaptor tube for the efficient removal of dust and
shavings, permitting a safer and cleaner working environment
Accessories
• A range of accessories and consumables—including blades, additional clamps,
and personal protective equipment—is available from your Triton stockist
• Spare parts can be ordered from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: Ensure the tool is switched OFF and the plug is removed from the
power supply before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time
• Prior to each use, inspect the supply cord of the tool for damage or wear.
This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
• If replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this must be done by the
manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard
Drive belt replacement
• It is suggested that you wear leather gloves to change the
belt in case you make contact with the blades
1. To replace the drive belt, take out the five crosshead screws that secure the
drive belt cover on the left side of the planer when viewed from the rear
2. Remove the damaged/worn belt and use a soft brush to
clean the pulleys and the surrounding area
