General Safety - Triton TRA001 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

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
EN60745 or similar 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 Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance. 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.
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 Routers
• 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 his 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 30 mA or less.
a) Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection,
dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
b)Cloths, cord, string etc should never be left around the work area
c) Ensure the mains supply voltage is the same as the tool rating plate voltage
d) Ensure any cable extensions used with this tool are in a safe electrical
condition, and have the correct ampere rating for the tool
e) Completely unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating
f) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility cables or pipes are below the
surface of the work area. Consult utility companies for assistance if necessary.
Contact with electric cables can lead to electric shock and fire. Damaging a gas pipe
can lead to explosion. Contact with water lines can lead to major property damage
g) Ensure embedded objects such as nails and screws have been
removed from the workpiece before commencing operation
h) Handle router bits with care as they can be extremely sharp
i) Before use, check the bit carefully for signs of damage or
cracks. Replace damaged or cracked bits immediately
j) Ensure router cutters/bits are sharp and maintained correctly. Dull cutting edges can
lead to uncontrolled situations including stalling, increased heat and possible injury
k) ALWAYS use both handles and maintain a firm grip on
the router before proceeding with any work
l) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and
grease to ensure the tool can be securely held in use
m) Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run for
a while. Vibration could indicate an improperly installed bit
n) Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the direction of feed
o) Keep your hands away from the routing area and router bit cutter. Hold the
auxiliary handle or an insulated gripping surface with your second hand
p) NEVER start the router while the cutter is touching the workpiece
q) Ensure the plunge spring is always fitted when using hand-held
r) Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging to the collet lock position
s) The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at least
as high as the maximum speed of the power tool
t) Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation. Do
not handle immediately after use to avoid risk of burns
u) Do not allow parts to come into contact with combustible materials
v) The shank size of the router cutter/bit must be matched to the exact same
size collet fitted to the router. Incorrectly fitted router cutter/bits will rotate
irregularly and have increased vibration that could lead to loss of control
w) DO NOT press the spindle lock button, or attempt to switch the
tool into bit change mode while the router is operating
x) Keep pressure constant while cutting into the workpiece, allowing the router bit
cutter to dictate the speed of cut. DO NOT force the tool and overload the motor
