Sanding Tool Safety; Product Familiarisation - Triton TRPUL Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

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 the 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 you 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 use 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
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
GB
• 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 tool
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to re-sharpen blades that are not suitable for re-
6
sharpening. These may include specially hardened blades or blades
made from hardened alloys typically containing tungsten
• Blades that can be re-sharpened should be re-sharpened only
according to the blade manufacturer's instructions. These may include
a limited number of times the blade can be re-sharpened
• 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

Sanding Tool Safety

WARNING: Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only,
because the sanding belt/sheet 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.
WARNING: Use clamps or another practical way to secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
the body makes it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
a) ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask
with a minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders
b) Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also
equipped with suitable personal protective equipment
c) Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany
and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
d) NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualified
professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
e) DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
f) Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to
the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that
is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to
1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints
g) The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to
children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these
people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h) Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i) Be especially careful when using a power tool for both wood and
metal sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust.
ALWAYS clean you power tool thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j) Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use,
before taking breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion
hazard. DO NOT throw sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may
occur when oil or water particles come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of
waste materials carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations
k) Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence
of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material
to cool. DO NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l) DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m) ALWAYS switch OFF before you put the sander down
n) DO NOT use for wed sanding. Liquids entering the motor
housing can cause severe electric shocks
o) ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply
before changing or replacing sandpaper
p) Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all
residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it
