Troubleshooting

Removal of Dust Extraction Port

Note: If dust extraction operates at reduced capacity, the Dust Extraction Port (10) may have

become blocked. It can be removed for thorough cleaning.

1. Remove the Dust Extraction Port Screw (13) using a suitable Phillips screwdriver (not

included)

2. Pull the Dust Extraction Port out of the gear housing

3. Thoroughly clean the insides of the Dust Extraction Port (the use of compressed air is

recommended)

4. Fit the ﬂat end of the Dust Extraction Port back into the gear housing

5. Reattach the Dust Extraction Port Screw and tighten by hand, using a suitable Phillips

screwdriver

Note: If, after cleaning, dust extraction still does not operate properly, the Hook and Loop

Backing Pad should be removed to clean and inspect the dust channels through the Hook and

Loop Backing Pad (2) and gear housing (see ‘Fitting the backing pad).

Maintaining the backing pad brake

• In free-run mode, the rubber collar, located between the Hook and Loop Backing Pad (2)

and the metal gear housing (see Fig. I), controls the acceleration of the backing pad, when

the tool is switched on, until the Hook and Loop Backing Pad reaches its maximum speed

• The collar wears down with use, and has to be replaced when the braking/control

performance is reduced (see ‘Fitting the backing pad’ for removal/replacement)

• Contact your authorised Triton service centre for spare parts or replacement service

Hook and loop surfaces

• Hook and loop surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt and foreign matter, such as hair,

ﬁbres, sand etc.

• In order to provide adequate adhesion for securing accessories, hook and loop surfaces

must be in good condition

• When used extensively, hooks and loops will become elongated or broken, and the

mechanism cannot provide the required strength of adhesion anymore

Note: This sander’s hook and loop Hook and Loop Backing Pad is NOT a warranty item.

Replacement backing pads can be obtained as spare parts through an authorised Triton

service centre.

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

• To replace the brushes, remove the Carbon Brush Access Covers (9) from both sides of the

machine. Remove the worn brushes and replaced with new. Replace covers. Alternatively,

have the machine serviced at an authorised Triton service centre

Storage

• Store this tool and its accessories after use in its case, in a dry, secure place out of the

reach of children

Disposal

Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer

functional and are not viable for repair.

• Do not dispose of power tools, batteries or other waste electrical and electronic equipment

(WEEE), with household waste

• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose

of power tools and batteries
