PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
> Turn off and unplug your Triton TSPSP650 Portable
Oscillating Spindle Sander before changing the Baseplate.
Attach Sander to Baseplate
1. Unthread the six screws holding the original plastic bottom
plate to your Triton TSPSP650 Portable Oscillating Spindle
Sander and remove the plate. Do NOT remove the metal
plate. Keep track of the screws; you will use them to mount
your baseplate to the sander. Fig. 1.
2. Put the Baseplate on the sander and line up the
mounting holes.
3. Loosely attach the two included brackets to the underside
of the Baseplate with the two included M5 x 10mm long
Phillips flathead screws. The brackets should be able
to slide in their slots.
4. Secure the Baseplate to the sander with the six screws you
removed in Step 1. Make sure to install the screws in the inner
set of mounting holes at the front of the sander. The outer set
of threaded holes is to allow installation of the accessory fence
that came with the Triton TSPSP650. Fig. 2.

screws. Fig. 3.
Install and Level Baseplate in Table
1. Remove the fence of your Convertible Benchtop Router Table.
If you don’t want to remove it altogether, you can move it as
far back as it will go and adjust the subfences outward to
create clearance in the middle.
2. Fit the baseplate assembly and sander into the opening in table
so that the Baseplate sits flat to the table. Fig. 4.
3. Use a straightedge or your finger to check whether the plate
is flush to the tabletop.
4. If it is not flush, use the Hex Wrench that came with your
Convertible Benchtop Router Table to adjust the Socket-Head
Set Screws in the shoulder of the table opening until the
Baseplate is flush with the tabletop. Fig. 5.
5. Once the Baseplate is flush with the tabletop, secure the
Baseplate with the two 5/16"-18 x 1" Flat-Head Screws
included with your table. Fully tighten the screws using
a screwdriver or a drill at a low speed. Be careful not to
strip the screws. Fig. 6.
