WARNING: The planer is very heavy and not practical or safe to
be used for vertical planing or other similar applications.
CAUTION: Moving the machine too fast may cause a poor quality
of cut and can damage the blades or the motor. Moving the
machine too slowly may burn or mark the cut
• The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being
cut and the depth of the cut
• Practise first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct
feed rate and the cut dimensions
CAUTION: Always use two hands to hold the planer
CAUTION: Where possible, clamp the workpiece to the bench
Chamfering
1. To perform a chamfered cut as shown in (Fig. I), first align the 'v'
groove (Fig. II) in the Movable Front Base (11) of the planer with
the corner edge of the workpiece.
2. Run the planer along the corner edge.
Maintenance
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and the
plug is removed from the mains power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance procedures.
• Inspect the supply 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
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may
vibrate loose over time.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with
compressed air or a dry, soft-to-medium brush like a paint brush
CAUTION: Wear protective goggles when cleaning the tool.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts
of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended.
Water must never come into contact with the tool. Ensure the tool is
thoroughly dry before using it.
Removing & installing planer blades
WARNING: Ensure the blade Clamping Screws (16) are
tightened securely in the correct order shown in image M.
Incorrect and/or insufficient tightening could cause serious
injury to the operator.
This planer is fitted with HSS reversible blades. Blades can be
reversed when blunt. After both sides of the blades have been
used, they should be discarded.
WARNING: These blades cannot be re-sharpened.
Removing a planer blade
CAUTION: The blades are very sharp. Take care when handling
them
1. Using the supplied Blade Spanner (17), loosen the 5 Clamping
Screws (16) (Image I)
2. Line up the Blade Barrel (14) with the side indentation so the
required Reversible Blade (15) can be removed, then carefully
slide out the blade (Image J)

Installing a planer blade
WARNING: Only use HSS planer blades compatible with
this tool. Using incorrect blades that are not HSS could cause
serious injury to the operator.
1. The blades are reversible with a cutting edge on both sides. If a
blade edge is worn or damaged, the blade can be removed and
placed back the other way around
2. Slide a good blade face up into the blade support block of the
Blade Barrel (14)
Note: If only one blade is damaged, it can be replaced without the
need to replace the other two blades. When blades are worn, they
must be replaced as a set of three to prevent unbalanced operation
with consequential dangerous vibration and possible damage to
the tool.
Note: The ridge along the blade should be on the blade face on the
opposite side to the Clamping Screws (16).
When installing blades:
1. First clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the Blade
Barrel (14) and the blades themselves
2. Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or the barrel
will oscillate and vibrate causing poor planing action and
possibly a machine breakdown
3. Tighten the Clamping Screws (16) in the order shown in Image
M when attaching the blades to the planer. A loose clamping
screw could be extremely dangerous
4. Tighten to a torque value of 10Nm (±0.5); do not over-tighten
5. Repeat for the two remaining blades
6. Regularly check to see they are tightened securely
IMPORTANT: Once all adjustments have been made to the blades,
it is important to re-check that the clamping screws are secure. After
a short period of work activity check that they remain tight and at
a torque value of 10Nm (±0.5). Carry out another check after a
reasonable period of use.
IMPORTANT: The planer is designed so that the blades are
correctly aligned if placed flush into the barrel slots and tightened
correctly.
• When inserting new blades, it is essential they sit square in their
slot; that they are fully inserted; and that the cutting edges are
absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the surface of the
rear base
• A metal ruler can be placed on the rear base at 3 different
positions to ensure the blade is level
• Only when the blade is level with the rear base should the
clamping screws be tightened
• A further check of the Movable Front Base (11) position can
be made by setting the Depth Adjustment Knob (12) to '0'
and placing the ruler across both the Movable Front Base and
Rear Fixed Base (6) (Image K). This provides a reference to the
accuracy of the front base position
• Blade must be positioned centrally on the drum (Image L)
WARNING: If the blades protrude or are not square, they could
hit the casing with serious risk to the operator and others in the
vicinity.
Note: The planing surface will end up rough and uneven unless
the blades are set and
secured properly.
The examples below show proper and improper settings:
• Correct setting - clean smooth cut (Fig. III).
• Nicks in surface – as caused by the edge of one or all blades not
being parallel to the surface of the rear base (Fig. IV).
