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
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. -
Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. Therein an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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. Table AAmpere rating| Volts| Total length of cord in metres
| 120| 7.5| 15| 30.5| 46

Personal safety
a) 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.
b ) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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
a) 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.
Additional Safety for Electric Planers
WARNING
-
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
-
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter 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 and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
-
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
-
It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
-
Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise skin contact.
IMPORTANT -
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
-
Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
-
A dust mask and dust extraction system are strongly recommended during usage to protect the operator against dust. Electric planers generate a large quantity of dust and some materials will produce toxic dust.
-
Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully
a) Check voltage of the tool rating label matches the voltage of the mains supply.
b) Ensure all nails, screws, etc., are removed from the workpiece before commencing the task. Otherwise, damage to the blade or planer could occur, causing a safety hazard.
c) Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the work area. To prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism.
d) Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation.
e) Before using the planer on a workpiece, switch ON and allow it to run for a while. Check for vibration or wobbling that could indicate a badly installed, or a poorly balanced blade.
f) Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece and starting cutting.
g) Operate the planer only when controlled by both hands and is correctly held before switching ON.
h) Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your face and body.
i) Wait until the blades reach full speed before cutting.
j) Shavings may jam in the chute when cutting damp wood.
Switch OFF, disconnect from the power supply and clean out the chips with a stick. Never put your finger into the chip chute.
k) ALWAYS switch OFF and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
l) ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply when leaving the machine unattended.
m) When not in use, disconnect from the power source and place the front base on a wooden block so that the blades are not in contact with anything.
n) Replace all blades at the same time. Otherwise, the resulting imbalance will cause vibration and shorten the service life of the planer and blades.
o) 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 the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
Cutting Tool Safety
Use the correct cutting tool
- Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable without checking the product literature before use.
Protect your eyes
- Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools.
- Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product; normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter.
Protect your hearings
- Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB.
Protect your breathing
- Ensure that you and others around you wear suitable dust masks.
Protect your hands
- Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a suitable push stick for shorter work pieces with appropriate power tools.
Be aware of others around you
- It is the responsibility of the use to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable protective equipment.
Hidden objects
- Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting.
- Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job.
- Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long grass may conceal stones and glass.
Always check the work area thoroughly before proceeding.
Beware of projected waste
- In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from the possibility of projected waste.
Fitting cutting tools
- Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches/adjusters are removed prior to use.
- Only use cutting tools recommended for your tool.
- Do not attempt to modify cutting tools.
- Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted.
- Do not attempt to re-sharpen blades that are not suitable for re-sharpening. These may include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically containing tungsten.
- Blades that can be re-sharpened should be re-sharpened only according to the blade manufacturer’s instructions. These may include a limited number of times the blade can be resharpened.
- Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use.
- In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable for, blades should be replaced immediately.
Direction of feed
- Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade or cutter.
Beware of heat
- Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until they have been allowed to cool completely.
Control dust/swarf
- Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is explosive.
- Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires.
- Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment.

Not for commercial use.
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
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 blades.
Replacing blades
- 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.
Removing & installing the planer blades
WARNING : Planer blades are sharp! Always wear protective gloves when
handling 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 both blades in the drum to prevent unbalanced operation, which can cause dangerous vibration and damage 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 wood chips or other foreign matter adhering to the blade drum or clamps.
-
Rotate the Blade Drum (11) so one Blade (12) faces up and is accessible.
-
Using the Spanner (8) ( Fig. I),
loosen the three Blade Clamp Bolts (14) (Fig. II) j ust sufficiently to remove the Blade from the drum. -
Carefully remove the Blade from the Blade Clamp slot, using a small piece of wood to push the Blade out (Fig. III).
-
Slide the Blade (12) into the slot in the Blade Clamp (Fig. IV) so that the point of the Blade edge is closer to the Chamfer Grooves (15), which then tapers down toward the Base (16) matching the contour of the Blade Clamp.
-
Ensure that both ends of the Blade are protruding equally (Fig. V).
-
Tighten the Blade Clamp Bolts (Fig. VI).
Note: Do not attempt to adjust the Blade with the Blade Clamp (13) screws, which are pre-set at manufacturing.
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 (16) (Fig. VII).
Nicks in the surface
- The cutting edge of one or all blades is not parallel to the rear base ( Fig. VIII).
Gouging at start
One or all blades are not protruding enough in relation to the rear base
(Fig. IX)
Adjusting the planing depth
- Rotate the Depth Adjustment Dial (1) clockwise for a deeper cut and anticlockwise for a shallower cut.
- The calibrations on the ring under the Depth Adjustment Dial indicate the cutting depth. For example, when ‘1.0’ is next to the point on the front of the planer, the depth of cut is approximately 1.0mm.
- If depth of cut is critical, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the difference in thickness and adjust the setting as needed.
Using the rear parking rest
- The Rear Parking Rest (7) protects work pieces from damage when the tool is put aside
- The rest automatically folds backwards when planing ( **Fig. X).
**
Dust/Chip extraction
WARNING : Always use a workshop vacuum, dust/chip extraction system or
the Dust/Chip Bag (17) when operating this tool.
-
A workshop vacuum or dust extraction system can be connected to the side Dust/Chip Extraction Port (2) (Fig. XI).
-
The Dust/Chip Bag (17) can be connected to the side Dust/Chip Extraction Port.
WARNING : NEVER remove obstructions from the Dust/Chip Extraction Port
while the Blades and Blade Drum are rotating.
Always disconnect the tool from the power supply before removing any
obstructions.
Operation
Switching ON & OFF
WARNING: Before plugging the tool into the power socket, always check
that the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (3) and Lock-Off Button (4) work correctly.
-
Plug the Power Cord (6) into the mains power supply.
-
To power ON, depress the Lock-Off Button (4) and simultaneously squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (3).
Note : The Lock-Off Button can be released once the planer is running. -
To power OFF, release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch.
WARNING: 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 workpiece surface.
If you wish to rest the planer on its side, do not rest it on the side with
the vents, as these prevent dust or chips from getting into the motor.
When the planer is not to be used for a short period, set the Depth Adjustment
Dial (1) to the ‘0’ position and rest the front of the plane on a block of
wood to keep the base clear of the surface.
Ensure the Rear Parking Rest (7) is down to protect the blades.
Planing
WARNING : Moving the tool too fast may cause a poor quality 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 piece of scrap material to gauge
the correct motion.
WARNING : Always use two hands to hold the planer.
WARNING : Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a workbench.
-
Rest the front of the planer on the workpiece, ensuring the Blades (12) are not in contact with the workpiece.
-
Switch ON the tool and wait for the blades to reach full speed.
-
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.
-
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’. -
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 need to reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
-
Lift the tool from the workpiece before releasing the ON/OFF Trigger Switch and powering OFF.
-
In between operations, rest the planer on a flat surface with the Rear Parking Rest (7) to support the planer, so that the blades are kept clear of the surface of the workpiece.
Chamfering
- To make a chambered cut (Fig. XII) , align the required size ‘V’ Chamber Groove (15) in the front base of the planer with the corner edge of the workpiece.
Note : Use the smaller ‘V’ Chamfer Groove for a shallower chamfer and the larger groove for a deeper chamfer.
- Power the planer ON and run the planer along the corner edge.
IMPORTANT : Always test out first on a scrap piece of material.
Lift the tool from the workpiece before releasing the ON/OFF Trigger Switch and powering OFF.
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 purchased from your Triton dealer or online at www.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.
