Triton TMNPL Instructions D'utilisation Et De Sécurité page 10

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
• 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-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.

Intended Use
Electric mini hand-planer for light and medium-duty planing with
adjustable cutting depth and 8mm rebate depth. Can be used on
hard and soft wood.
Not for commercial use.
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other
than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case
of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the
tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
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 ensure that the tool is switched OFF and
unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments,
and before fitting or removing the blades.
Replacing blades
• The planer is fitted with reversible blades. Blades can be
reversed when blunt. After both sides of the blade have been
used, they must be discarded.
• Replacement planer blades are available from your Triton
retailer.
Removing & installing the planer blades
WARNING: Planer blades are sharp! Always wear protective
gloves when handling planer blades.
• The blades have a cutting edge on both sides so are reversible.
If a blade is worn or damaged on one side, you can re-install it
the other way round to use the other cutting edge.
IMPORTANT: A single blade may be replaced only if it is damaged.
If the blade is worn, you must replace both blades in the drum
to prevent unbalanced operation, which can cause dangerous
vibration and damage the tool.
• If replacing blades, use blades of the same dimensions and
weight, or the drum will oscillate and vibrate, causing poor
planing action and possibly breakdown.
• The quality of finish relies on correct installation of the blades.
Clean away any woodchips or other foreign matter adhering to
the blade drum or clamps.
