Triton TPT 125 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité page 8

2. If the planer/thicknesser is intended to be more portable, fix a board to the
base which can be easily clamped and removed from various mounting
surfaces
3. If using bolts, make sure they are long enough to penetrate the workbench
or board sufficiently for a secure fix
Crank Handle Installation
Mount the Crank Handle (9) in position (see main image) on the right hand side
of the planer:
1. Thread the spring washer onto the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt (7)
2. Fit the Crank Handle onto the elevation screw (Image B)
3. Use the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt to secure the Crank Handle in position.
Use the Hex Key (15) to tighten the bolt
4. Insert the Crank Handle Fixing Cap (8) to conceal the fixing
Attach the dust chute
The Dust Chute (5) can be mounted for extraction of waste at either end of
the planer
1. Use the 2 x Dust Chute Thumb Screws (6) to mount the dust chute onto the
Rollercase (1) using the Dust Chute Fixing Positions (18) (Image C)
2. Having fixed the chute in position, connect the extraction system hose
3. Turn the extraction system on before operating the planer
Checking the Rollercase is level
• The Rollercase (1) is aligned and checked in the factory. However, it can
become out of alignment during shipping and handling
• If the Rollercase is not level with the Centre Table (11), this will result in a
tapered cut where the thickness on one side of the workpiece is different
from the other. It can also cause uneven wear of the blade
• Check the blades are aligned correctly with a test run: run two pieces
through each side (left and right) of the planer
• Measure and compare results to check the blades are correctly aligned
and/or to determine the amount of correction required
• If the blades need to be re-aligned, see 'Maintenance – Re-aligning the
Rollercase' for guidance
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
adjustments, inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut proof gloves when handling the
Rollercase and its sub-components.
Important guidance for the safe use of this tool
• Disconnect the machine from power source whenever adjusting or
replacing any parts
• Ensure the On/Off Switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting the tool
to mains power
• Keep limbs away from all moving parts
• Wear eye protection and a face mask when using this tool
• Make sure all mobile parts move freely and are free from interference
• Keep blades sharp, aligned and properly secured to the cutter head
• Never turn the machine on with the workpiece in contact with the blades
• Whenever the planer is not in use, switch off and disconnect from power
• Keep the planer in good order. Follow the maintenance instructions (see
'Maintenance')
• Never use the planer to make partial cuts - allow the planer to cut the full
length of the workpiece
• Do not use the planer to cut recesses, tenons or moulds
Workpiece capacity
• The workpiece must comply with the following minimum and maximum
dimensions:
i. Min thickness: 3.2mm
ii. Min length: 125mm
iii. Min width: 18mm
iv. Max width: 317mm
• Avoid kickback. Do not use a workpiece that is warped, contains knots, or
is embedded with foreign objects (nails, staples, etc)
• This planer is designed for natural wood material only
• Remove glue and any foreign objects from the workpiece before planing
• Use the entire width of the cutter head to avoid uneven wear of blades
Rollercase height adjustment
• The Rollercase (1) contains the motor, cutting head with blades, and the
in-feed and out-feed rollers
• Rotate the Crank Handle (9) to raise or lower the Rollercase. One complete
turn of the Crank Handle raises or lowers the Rollercase 1.58mm (1/16")
• The Scale Pointer (4) and Elevation Scale (3) provide a reading, in metric
and imperial graduations, of the height of the cutter head above the Centre
Table (11) – and therefore the approximate thickness of the workpiece
after planing
• The elevation scale is calibrated at the factory. For precision woodworking,
it is recommended that you check the dimension with calipers or a digital
thickness gauge before and after each cutting pass
Setting the depth of cut
• To protect the motor and cutter head, the recommended maximum depth
of cut for a single pass is as follows:
Max Depth of Cut
Width of workpiece
Up to 125mm
From 125mm up to 317mm
To set the depth of cut:
1. Measure the current thickness of the workpiece, and compare with
required thickness
2. Refer to the 'Max Depth of Cut' table above to determine whether one or
more passes are required
3. If just one pass is required:
Use the Crank Handle to move the Rollercase up or down until the Scale
Pointer (4) indicates, on the Elevation Scale (3), the finished thickness of
workpiece required
4. If more than one pass will be required:
a) It is recommended that you divide the total required into passes of
approximately equal depth
b) For the first and any intermediate cuts, set the height of the Rollercase at
current workpiece thickness minus depth calculated in step (a) above
c) Check measurements after each cut with callipers or a digital thickness
gauge
Switching on and off
• The On/Off Switch (13) is located on the front of the planer
• To turn the planer ON, press the green ON (I) button
• To turn the planer OFF, push the red OFF (0) button
