Triton TPT 125 Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad página 9

Bench mounting
• Set up the unit on a firm, flat surface so the table is horizontal
and the unit cannot tip over
• If the thicknesser is to be used in a permanent position, it is
recommended that it is secured to a rigid work surface, as
follows:
1. Use the holes in the base of the thicknesser (Image A) as a
template to mark and drill four holes in your intended mounting
surface (i.e. workbench). Secure the unit in position using large
bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied)
2. If the thicknesser is intended to be more portable, fix a board to
the base which can be easily clamped and removed from various
mounting surfaces
3. If using bolts, make sure they are long enough to penetrate the
workbench or board sufficiently for a secure fix
Crank handle installation
Mount the Crank Handle (9) in position (see main image) on the
right-hand side of the thicknesser:
1. Thread the spring washer onto the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt
(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 thicknesser
1. Use the 2 x Dust Chute Hex Screws (6) to mount the dust chute
onto the Rollercase (1) using the Dust Chute Fixing Positions
(18) (Image C)
2. Having fixed the Dust Chute in position, connect the extraction
system hose
3. Turn the extraction system on before operating the 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 thicknesser
• 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 (1) 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 thicknesser is not in use, switch 'OFF' and
disconnect from power
• Keep the thicknesser in good order. Follow the maintenance
instructions (see 'Maintenance')
• Never use the thicknesser to make partial cuts - allow it to cut the
full length of the workpiece
• Do not use the 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: 380mm
III.Min width: 19mm
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 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 infeed and outfeed 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
