Triton TPT 125 Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad página 7

2. Fit the Crank Handle onto the elevation screw (Image B)
3. Use the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt to secure the Crank Handle in position.
Use the Hex Key (15) to tighten the bolt
4. Insert the Crank Handle Fixing Cap (8) to conceal the fixing
Attach the Dust Chute
• The Dust Chute (5) can be mounted for extraction of waste at either end of the
planer/thicknesser
1. Use the 2 x Dust Chute Thumb Screws (6) to mount the dust chute onto the
Rollercase (1) using the Dust Chute Fixing Positions (18) (Image C)
2. Having fixed the chute in position, connect the extraction system hose
3. Turn the extraction system on before operating the planer/thicknesser
Checking the Rollercase is level
• The Rollercase (1) is aligned and checked in the factory. However, it can
become out of alignment during shipping and handling
• If the Rollercase is not level with the Centre Table (11), this will result in a
tapered cut where the thickness on one side of the workpiece is different from
the other. It can also cause uneven wear of the blade
• Check the blades are aligned correctly with a test run: run two pieces through
each side (left and right) of the planer
• Measure and compare results to check the blades are correctly aligned and/or
to determine the amount of correction required
• If the blades need to be re-aligned, see 'Maintenance – Re-aligning the
Rollercase' for guidance
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
adjustments, inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut proof gloves when handling the Rollercase
and its sub-components.
Important guidance for the safe use of this tool
• Disconnect the machine from power source whenever adjusting or replacing
any parts
• Ensure the ON/OFF Switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting the tool
to mains power
• Keep limbs away from all moving parts
• Wear eye protection and a face mask when using this tool
• Make sure all mobile parts move freely and are free from interference
• Keep blades sharp, aligned and properly secured to the cutter head
• Never turn the machine on with the workpiece in contact with the blades
• Whenever the planer/thicknesser is not in use, switch off and disconnect
from power
• Keep the planer/thicknesser in good order. Follow the maintenance
instructions (see 'Maintenance')
• Never use the planer/thicknesser to make partial cuts - allow it to cut the full
length of the workpiece
• Do not use the planer/thicknesser to cut recesses, tenons or moulds
Workpiece capacity
• The workpiece must comply with the following minimum and maximum
dimensions:
I. Min thickness: 3.2mm
II. Min length: 381mm
III. Min width: 18mm
IV. Max width: 317mm
• Do not use weak, dry or damaged, heavily knotted wood that could break up
in the planing mechanism damaging the mechanism and motor and causing
kickback
• Ensure all wood is free of embedded objects including screws, nails and
staples. Embedded objects can cause major damage to the tool and are a
safety risk if ejected as well as a cause of kickback
• Do not plane badly bowed/warped wood where there is inadequate contact
with the infeed table
• This planer/thicknesser is designed for natural wood material only
• Remove glue and any foreign objects from the workpiece before planing
• Use the entire width of the cutter head to avoid uneven wear of blades
Rollercase height adjustment
• The Rollercase (1) contains the motor, cutting head with blades, and the
in-feed and out-feed rollers
• Rotate the Crank Handle (9) to raise or lower the Rollercase. One complete
turn of the Crank Handle raises or lowers the Rollercase 1.58mm
• The Scale Pointer (4) and Elevation Scale (3) provide a reading, in metric and
imperial graduations, of the height of the cutter head above the Centre Table
(11) – and therefore the approximate thickness of the workpiece after planing
• The elevation scale is calibrated at the factory. For precision woodworking,
it is recommended that you check the dimension with calipers or a digital
thickness gauge before and after each cutting pass
Setting the depth of cut
• To protect the motor and cutter head, the recommended maximum depth of
cut for a single pass is as follows:
Max Depth of Cut
Width of workpiece Max depth of cut
Up to 125mm 2.38mm
From 125mm up to 317mm 1.6mm
To set the depth of cut:
1. Measure the current thickness of the workpiece, and compare with required
thickness
2. Refer to the 'Max Depth of Cut' table above to determine whether one or more
passes are required
3. If just one pass is required:
• Use the Crank Handle to move the Rollercase up or down until the Scale
Pointer (4) indicates, on the Elevation Scale (3), the finished thickness of
workpiece required
4. If more than one pass will be required:
a) It is recommended that you divide the total required into passes of
approximately equal depth
b) For the first and any intermediate cuts, set the height of the Rollercase at
current workpiece thickness minus depth calculated in step (a) above
c) Check measurements after each cut with callipers or a digital thickness
gauge
Switching 'ON' & 'OFF'
• The ON/OFF Switch (13) is located on the front of the planer
• To turn the planer ON, press the green ON (I) button
• To turn the planer OFF, push the red OFF (0) button
Circuit breaker
• A circuit breaker is installed to the left side of the ON/OFF Switch (13) (Image M)
• If excessive electric current is detected, the circuit breaker will shut off the
power supply to protect the motor
• Before resetting the circuit breaker check the motor, switch, and power
connection for short circuit or faulty components
• To reset the circuit breaker:
• Press the red (O) button so that the machine is turned off
• Press the Circuit Breaker Reset Button (12)
Planer operation
WARNING: Always use adequate protective equipment, including eye
protection, respiratory and hearing protection, when working with this tool.
• For best results, determine desired depth of cut and final thickness of
workpiece before planing. Since there is a limit to maximum depth of cut,
several passes may be required to achieve final thickness
• In general, thin cuts produce a better outcome in terms of smoothness of
finished surface, even thickness, less kickback, less snipe, and less wear on
the cutter head and motor
• To prevent kickback, never make cuts deeper than 2.4mm in one pass
