Cleaning And Lubrication; Checking And Replacing The Blades - Triton TPT125 Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad

4. Turn the machine 'ON' and allow the cutter head to reach full speed
5. Holding the workpiece firmly, move it slowly towards and onto the in-feed
roller
NOTE: Never feed a workpiece into the planer via the out-feed table
6. Stop pushing the workpiece once it is engaged by the in-feed roller. The
in-feed roller will move the workpiece automatically through the planer
7. Do not force the cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat the motor
8. Always keep your hands well away from the blades or chip ejection area
while the motor is running
9. Support the weight of large workpieces as they move through the planer to
stabilise the workpiece and reduce snipe
10. Move to the back of machine to receive the workpiece. Do not pull the
workpiece; allow the rollers to do the work
11. If a workpiece becomes jammed inside the machine, turn the machine
'OFF', remove the plug from mains supply, raise the Rollercase away from
the workpiece and ALLOW THE MACHINE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
12. Never reach into the machine whilst it is in operation or running down
13. Use in-feed and out-feed rollers or supports when working with long
workpieces
14. For precision woodworking, measure the thickness of the workpiece with
calipers or a digital thickness gauge after each pass

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut proof gloves when handling the
Rollercase and its sub-components.
Note: Any damage to this tool should be repaired and carefully inspected
before use, by qualified repair personnel.
Note: 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.
• This tool is manufactured using class leading components and makes
use of the latest in intelligent circuitry that protects the tool and its
components. In normal use it should provide a long working life

Cleaning and lubrication

• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the
body of your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth. If available, use clean,
dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• After use, vacuum the planer machine to remove wood chips, sawdust and
debris
• Use a cleaning solution (not included) to remove resin and grease residue
• Remove sawdust, wood chips and grease from chains and gears
• The bearings in motor and cutter head units are factory-sealed and should
require no further lubrication
EN
• Four components require regular lubrication:
• Rollercase vertical screw mechanism (x2)
• Rollercase lock cam
• Rollercase vertical rails (x4)
• Feed roller chain drive
• Remove the top and both side panels to access these components
• Clean the chain drive before lubrication. Use spray oil (not included) to
lubricate the chain. Allow time for the lubricant to penetrate between the
links, then wipe the surface of the chain dry
10
• Remove any residues of grease from the other components, using mineral
spirits if necessary, then apply a coat of light grade multi-purpose grease
(not included)
• The work table and extension table can be coated with a very thin coat
of lubricating wax (not included) to protect the surface from rust and to
facilitate smooth feed during operation
Re-aligning the Rollercase
• Test the blade alignment by running two pieces through each side (left and
right) of the planer
• Measure and compare results to check that the blades are correctly
aligned and/or to determine the amount of correction required
• To correct any misalignment:
1. Turn the planer OFF and remove the plug from the power source
2. Carefully place the planer on its back
3. Remove the screws to the horizontal spindle retaining bracket on the Crank
Handle (9) side of the planer (Image D)
4. Carefully disengage the gears (Image E)
5. Slowly rotate the Crank Handle to raise or lower the Rollercase as needed
to re-position it on the vertical screw
6. Rotate the Crank Handle forward or back as required in order to correct
the misalignment. Each complete turn of the Crank Handle will make an
adjustment of 1.5mm (1/16")
7. Re-engage the gears and re-fit the horizontal spindle retaining bracket
8. Carefully sit the planer upright again
9. Carry out a test run to check the Rollercase is now level
10. Repeat the correction process if further adjustment is necessary

Checking and replacing the blades

Inspecting the blades:
1. Locate the Blade Cover Panel (17) on the back of planer. Loosen and
remove the Blade Cover Panel Hex Screws (16) on either side and lift off
the panel (Image F)
2. Identify the cutter head inside, and the TWO sharp blades on the cutter
head
3. Without touching the blades, carefully turn the cutter head until the self-
engaging latch clicks to lock the cutter head
4. Use the Hex Key (15) to remove the six bolts on the blade cover plate
(Image G)
5. Using the two Magnets (19), carefully remove the blade cover plate
6. Then use the Magnets to remove the blade
7. Inspect the blade for signs of wear or damage. A blade that is dull, worn,
nicked, torn or uneven can result in poor performance such as fuzzy grain,
chipped grain, raised grain, raised edge and uneven cut
Replacing a blade:
Note: Replace blades in pairs only
Note: Never mix a new blade with an old blade on the cutter head. Never mix
blades with different degrees of wear. Never use a blade where unbalanced
wear from side to side is present and never use blades other than the blades
specified by the manufacturer
1. Use the Magnets (19) to pick up and place the new blade onto the cutter
head
2. Position the blade so that it sits securely on the two pins
3. Use the magnets to transfer the cover plate back onto the blades
4. Re-fit the cover plate so that the six fixing holes are aligned with the holes
on the cutter head
5. Tighten and secure with the six bolts
