General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Triton TMNPL Instrucciones De Uso

WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the
correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
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 Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety for Electric Planers
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may
contact its own cord. Cutting a 'live' wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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.
• 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
