Intended Use

Electric hand planer with additional sanding functionality. Used for light

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

unlimited 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 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’
