General Safety; Grounding Instructions - Triton TMUTL Instrucciones De Uso

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 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

Safety rules
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the too., a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.

Grounding Instructions

1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated
in Sketch A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. (This adapter is not permitted in
Canada) The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Multi-Tool Safety
General safety advice for multi-purpose hand held cordless and corded tools including both
rotating and oscillating types.
WARNING: Contact with electric or gas lines can lead to fire, electric shock and explosions.
Penetrating a water line can result in damage to property and electric shock. Use appropriate
detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area. Always be extremely careful
when making blind and pocket cuts where the exit point of the blade or accessory at the other
side of the material cannot be seen.
WARNING: Asbestos may be in materials and textured coatings in older properties and
should be treated with extreme caution. If you suspect or discover asbestos consult your local
health and safety authority immediately for advice on its removal. It may require the services of
a specialist asbestos removal company.
WARNING: If a cutting accessory makes contact with a 'live' wire, the exposed metal parts
of the power tool may become 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock. Hold the 150
power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces at all times during use.
300
WARNING: DO NOT work with damp or wet materials or accessories that require liquid
coolants. Liquids entering the body of the tool is an electrical hazard as well as likely to
destroy the tool.
WARNING: The dust produced from working with some materials can be toxic. Beech, oak,
14
mahogany and teak natural woods, man-made composite woods and some surface treatments
including paint with lead are toxic. Lead based paint is common in buildings pre 1960. Always
12
wear suitable respiratory protection for example a respirator face mask. Ideally also use a dust
extraction system or regularly vacuum the work area to prevent the build-up of dust and do a
12
final vacuum after the work is completed. Most dust is a fire hazard. Overhead work surfaces
have an increased safety risk for dust.
a) Wear protective, cut-proof gloves when changing blades and accessories. Some
blades and accessories can be very sharp. Scraper blades sharpen as they are used. Blades
and accessories shortly after use can be very hot, allow to cool.
