Triton TMNPL Instructions D'utilisation Et De Sécurité page 9

• 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 their 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 30mA or less.
• Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can
generate dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some wood contains
preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which
can be toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting these materials
extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise
skin contact.
IMPORTANT
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause
an electric shock.
• Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They
could be injured by rotating parts.
• A dust mask and dust extraction system are strongly
recommended during usage to protect the operator against
dust. Electric planers generate a large quantity of dust and
some materials will produce toxic dust.
• Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
a) Check voltage of the tool rating label matches the voltage
of the mains supply.
b) Ensure all nails, screws, etc., are removed from the
workpiece before commencing the task. Otherwise, damage
to the blade or planer could occur, causing a safety hazard.
c) Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are
removed from the work area. To prevent entanglement in the
planer mechanism.
d) Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
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.
o) 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 the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
Cutting Tool Safety
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.
