General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Triton TRPUL Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

Uncertainty K
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and sound protection
measures are necessary.
As part of our ongoing development, specifications of TRITON products may alter without notice.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection,
stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides
the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition.
If necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration
gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature,
as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification
relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to international
standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly
maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise
and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in
the workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
5) Service
a) 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.
Additional Safety for Electric Planers
WARNING!
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter
may contact its own cord. Cutting a 'live' wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by
the manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual
current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
• Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can generate dust
containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate
(CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting these materials
extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise skin contact.
IMPORTANT
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands.
They could be injured by rotating parts.
• A dust mask and dust extraction system are strongly recommended
during usage to protect the operator against dust. Electric planers generate
a large quantity of dust and some materials will produce toxic dust.
• Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
a) Check 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
