Unpacking Your Tool; Before Use - Triton TBJ 001 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing
or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING: Always disconnect this tool from the power supply before attaching or removing
accessories, or making any adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the blade is securely fitted before first use. See 'Changing the saw blade'
Auxiliary Handle
• Fit the Auxiliary Handle (1) using the supplied Auxiliary Handle Bolts (22)
• Adjust the Auxiliary Handle (1) angle position by loosening the 2 Auxiliary Handle Bolts,
adjusting and re-tightening the bolts
Dust extraction
• This tool should be connected to a workshop dust extraction system or vacuum cleaner via
its Dust Port (15)
• If both are unavailable, the supplied dust bag needs to be fitted, by pushing it on to the Dust
Port

• Measurements are approximate
Adjusting the cutting height
Note: The groove for the biscuit dowel is normally in the middle of the workpiece edge so the
cutting height needs to be adjusted to half the thickness of the material.
• The cutting height with the fitted Fence (30) can be adjusted from 0 – 40mm.
1. Release the Fence Locking Knob (29)
2. Position the Fence at the required height using the Fence Height Scale (27)
3. Tighten the Fence Locking Knob to lock at the height required
Setting the fence angle
The Fence (30) has 90° of angle adjustment, with click-stops for quick and easy setting of 0°,
45° and 90° for angled cuts (image C).
To set the angle required:
1. Release the Angle Lock (4) by pulling it away from the Face (19)
2. Adjust the Face to the required angle using the Angle Scale (24) and Angle Indicator (25)
3. Tighten the Angle Lock so that the Fence is secured at the required angle
Note: Check the Fence is securely locked in position before cutting; failure to do so may result
in damage to the workpiece or the machine if it moves during use
Note: The Angle Scale is approximate only; use additional angle measuring equipment if
necessary, to check the fence angle
Operation
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use two hands where possible when operating the tool.
Hold the Main Handle (18) of the jointer in one hand, with a finger resting comfortably on the
On/Off Trigger Switch (17) and with the other hand hold the Auxiliary Handle (1) so the tool is
securely held.
IMPORTANT: Check the guard mechanism is operating smoothly and correctly before actual
use.

Note: If using the dust bag, remove and clean out on a regular basis. Ideally, empty the dust
bag when it is half full.
Adjusting the depth of cut
The tool features a Turret Stop (11) with 6 depth positions (0, 10, 20, S, D & Max) and supports
a wide range of biscuit dowels or plates. See Biscuit guide below.
It is recommended to calibrate the tool using the size of biscuit you will mainly be using. A
typical biscuit size is #10.
1. Select position '10' by rotating the Turret Stop (11) until '10' is indicated by the Depth
Indicator (10)
2. Push forward on the Auxiliary Handle (1) until the Depth Stop (13) contacts the Turret Stop
(Image B) and measure the length of the exposed blade protruding from the Blade Slot
(28). Ensure one Blade Tooth Tip (34) is at the maximum distance from the slot by rotating
the Saw Blade (32) so a Blade Tooth Tip is in the middle then measure from this tip to the
surface of the Blade Slot
3. The measurement should be 10mm for #10 as indicated in the chart below. If different
loosen the Depth Stop Locking Nut (14) and adjust the Depth Stop to reduce or extend its
length to the required 10mm blade depth
4. Once correctly set tighten the Depth Stop Locking Nut
WARNING: Failure to correctly adjust the cutting depth could cause damage to the workpiece.
Note: The other depth positions on the Turret Stop will now be correctly set with the most
accurate being the position used for calibration.
Note: Always make a trial cut on scrap material to confirm the settings.

Switching on and off
• To start the tool squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (17)
• Release the On/Off Trigger Switch to turn off
Notes:
• In order to cut biscuit slots into the workpiece as required, first set up the tool according to
the 'Before Use' instructions (above), and prepare the workpiece(s) by marking in pencil at
the required cutting points (Fig. II)
• The tool features multiple indicators to assist in positioning the tool against the workpiece.
The Face Centre Indicator (5) and Fence Blade Centre Indicator (7) indicate the centre of
the blade. Two Fence Biscuit Edge Indicators (6 & 8) indicate the edge for larger biscuits
not the outer edges of the blade, this is indicated further back on the fence. A Centre Blade
Indicator (26) on the side of the base indicates the blade height position for the standard
4mm thickness blade
• It is important that the workpieces are accurately marked. It may be easier to loosely
assemble the two pieces together in exactly the required position and mark with a pencil
across both pieces, and then cut the slots. Assemble loosely again, with the first biscuit
fitted, before marking again where subsequent biscuits are required. Ideally a middle
position in the wood is preferable for the first slot
• There is a tolerance when joining wood with biscuits as slots can be extended if necessary
but it is better to work accurately and measure frequently
• Dowels can be placed in a wide range of positions when joining wood pieces (Fig. I) and if
necessary where biscuits are needed on multiple faces enlarged wider slots (Fig. III) can be
used to allow a workpiece to connect on multiple sides more easily
• The workpiece will need to be clamped to the workbench, although it is possible the use of
a non-slip mat between the workpiece and workbench surface will be sufficient in some
instances
1. Select the correct biscuit size on the Turret Stop (11)
2. Hold the body of the machine with one hand so that a finger rests on the On/Off Trigger
Switch (17)
3. Carefully align the tool markings with the pencil marks on the workpiece and position the
tool in readiness to cut the slot
4. Position the machine against the workpiece so that the Face (19) and the underside of the
Fence (30) are fully in contact with the workpiece
5. Press down on the front of the Fence with the fingers of your other hand to hold the tool in
position, and check there are no gaps under the Face or underside of the Fence
