FYI All users of the Triton TSPST450 450W Oscillating Spindle & Belt Sander (the orange sander)

[Mark Wainwright]

It has come to our attention that a few current users aren't using the sander properly. and that the drive adapter (white translucent part in pics) has been removed when switching from Belt sander to bobbin sander.
This drive adaptor is needed for all functions of this machine and serves both as a drive coupling and protective spacer for both belt and bobbin operations.
Please make sure this is always on the bottom of the shaft under either the bobbin or belt drive housing.
Remember part of being a member is following the Health & Safety rules and knowing  how to use each tool and if needed ask for help from other members, read the manufacturer's instructions or where needed complete an induction to make sure they are used correctly. So if you're not sure or are confused about this or any other operation of these induction-less tools please speak to another member for guidance. The last thing we want is to have a broken/damaged tool or have to contemplate adding more tools to the induction list.

Kind Regards Mark
