As part of our ongoing product development, specifications of Triton products may alter without notice.
Sound and vibration information:

Sound pressure L PA| 75.5dB(A)
Sound power L WA| 86.5dB(A)
Uncertainty K| 3dB(A)
Weighted Vibration a h| 1.932m/s²
Uncertainty| 1.5m/s²

The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and sound protection measures are necessary.

• WARNING : Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
• WARNING : User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
• WARNING : The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. There is the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time). The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Sound levels in the specification are determined according to international standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
7. When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
8. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working  conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the powertool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

WARNING : This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical or mental capabilities or lack ofexperience or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the tool.

Electrical Safety

• The charger is double insulated and therefore, no earth wire is required
• Always ensure the charger’s plug matches the supply outlet socket
• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate
• Avoid damaging the cable or plug. If the cable or plug show signs of damage or wear, get it repaired by an authorised service agent or a qualified electrician
• For UK the plug uses a 13A fuse (BS 1362)

Sanding Tool Safety

WARNING!

• Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only, because the sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ‘live’ and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against the body makes it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

1. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders
2. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable personal protective equipment
3. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
4. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualified professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
5. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
6. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints
7. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
8. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
9. Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
10. Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use, before taking breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water particles come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of waste materials carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations
11. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. DO NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
12. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
13.  ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
14. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can cause severe electric shocks
15. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing sandpaper
16. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it

Always connect the sander to a vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system when sanding metal. Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from sanding wood to sanding metal, and vice versa. Selecting the right grade of sanding belt

Different grades of sanding belt can be purchased from your local

Triton stockist. Typical grades are:

• Coarse (40 Grit), Medium (80 and 100 Grit), and Fine (120 and 180 Grit)
• Use coarse grade to remove rough finishes, medium grade to smooth the work and fine grade for finishing
• Carry out a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of belt for a particular job
• In order to take full advantage of your sander, always purchase good quality belts

Note: After sanding with a belt sander, an orbital sander can be used to provide a smoother surface finish. This process will, however, lead to the loss of wood grain detail. Additional sanding with an orbital sander is advisable if you plan to paint the wooden surface, or if you do not need to maintain the visibility of the wood grain.

Attaching a sanding belt
WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
