Triton TCMBS Sicherheits- Und Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

i. 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
j. 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.
k. 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
l. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor
housing can cause severe electric shocks
o. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply
before changing or replacing sandpaper
p. 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
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be
toxic. Some materials may be chemically treated or coated and
be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite materials may
contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and
other chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to dust generated from
operating a sander. DO NOT allow dust to get onto skin or eyes and
do not allow the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption
of harmful chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated
area. Use a suitable dust mask and dust extraction system where
possible. Where there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is more
critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of
personal protection is used.

Before Use
Changing the sanding belt
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the
plug is removed from the power point before fitting or removing
sanding belts.
Note: A range of sanding belts from Triton, in a choice of grits, are
available for use with this Palm Belt Sander.
1. Ensure the sander is disconnected from the power supply
2. Lift the Belt Tension Release Lever (7) to release tension on the
belt
3. Choose a new belt according to intended task, e.g. low grit
rating produces faster stock removal, high grit rating for
smoother finish
4. Check that the replacement belt has a good join and is not
frayed at the edges
5. Position the new belt over the rollers, with the rotation arrows
on the inside of the belt pointing in the same direction as the
Belt Direction Indicator (8) on the sander.
6. Push the Belt Tension Release Lever down to tension the belt
7. Hold the sander upside down and plug into the mains
8. With the belt running, use the Micro Adjustment Knob (4) to
align the belt to the centre of the plate
Dust extraction
• It is recommended that the sander is connected to a vacuum
cleaner or dust extractor, using the dust extraction port (Image
A). This will significantly reduce the dust in the air around the
work area
• If vacuum dust extraction is not available in your work area, a
dust bag can be fitted to the dust extraction port
• A suitable breathing mask should be worn when operating this
machine. All wood and paint dust is hazardous to health and
may also be toxic
