Product Familiarisation; Intended Use; Before Use - Triton TCM PL Instrucciones De Uso

a) Check the 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 planer and blades
Cutting Tool Safety
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,
and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power
source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
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 hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, 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 workpieces with appropriate power tools
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user 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
GB
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 machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening,
these may include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened
alloys typically containing tungsten
• Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according 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

Before Use

Shavings extraction
1. Connect the Shavings Adaptor Tube (12) to the Dust/Chip Extraction Port (14)
2. The Shavings Adaptor Tube (12) can be installed to allow shavings to flow
either to the left or to the right of the workpiece
3. A workshop dust extraction system or a household vacuum cleaner can
be connected to the Shavings Adaptor Tube (12), (Image A) for the efficient
removal of dust and shavings permitting a safer and cleaner working
environment
