Triton TWX7 Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad página 3

9 Use protective equipment
- Use safety glasses
- Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause personal injury or
increase the severity of an injury.
10 Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used
11 Do not abuse the power cable - Never yank the power cable to disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power cables
increase the risk of electric shock
12 Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your
hand
13 Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 Maintain tools with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less likely to bind or
lock in the workpiece
- Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized
service facility
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 Disconnect tools - When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.
16 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on
17 Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off' position when connecting to a mains
socket or inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock
19 Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
20 Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it 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 by an authorized
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it on and off. The switch must
be repaired before the tool is used.
21 Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the relevant
safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre.
22 Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23 If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Router Table Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment;
• Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss
• Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of harmful dust
• Cut-proof no-fray gloves to avoid possible injuries when handling router cutters and rough
material due to sharp edges.
Any gloves where fabric material can work loose with the possibility of fabric strands MUST not be
used when operating the router table
• Safety glasses to avoid eye injury caused by flying particles
Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area use adequate protection. Keep bystanders a safe
distance away.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the dust extraction port on the router cutter guard to a
suitable vacuum dust extraction system. Certain types of wood are toxic or may cause
allergic reactions in people and animals, especially when exposed to very fine dust. ALWAYS wear
appropriate respiratory protection in addition to vacuum dust extraction.
a) ONLY fit plunge routers that are listed as compatible in 'Specification' to the Router Table.
Only fit router bits that are suitable for the installed plunge router, with shanks compatible with
the collet installed.
b) NEVER reach to the underside of the router table when the router is connected to the
power supply.
c) ALWAYS remove the router plunge spring and plastic base plate, before fitting the tool to
the router table. This enables easy router bit change and height winder adjustment from above
the table.
d) Keep your hands away from the cutting area. NEVER pass your hands directly over, or in front
of, the revolving cutter. As one hand approaches the router bit, move it AWAY from the cutter, in an
arc motion over the top of the router bit, to the out-feed side beyond the cutter. NEVER trail your
fingers behind the workpiece and DO NOT use awkward hand positions. Use push sticks and blocks
where necessary.
e) Do not attempt to perform tasks on workpieces shorter than 300mm (12") in length
without using special fixtures or jigs. It is recommended to make work pieces oversize then cut
to finished length.
f) ASSESS risks, benefits and alternatives BEFORE using push sticks, push blocks or other jigs
and safety devices. In many applications the use of such contraptions is useful and safe, however,
in others it can be dangerous. Push sticks can fly out of the operator's hand, when they come into
contact with the revolving router bit, potentially causing serious injuries.
g) ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the router table,
and where necessary, also to the sides. Use Triton Sliding Extension or Multi-stand wherever
possible.
h) ALWAYS use guards, fences, horizontal and vertical featherboards etc., to guide the
workpiece, counteract and avoid kickback, especially when routing small or narrow
workpieces. Vertical featherboards attached to the fence also help prevent uncontrolled lift-up of
the workpiece.
i) ALWAYS remove ALL loose objects from the table before operating. Vibrations may cause
loose objects to move, and come into contact with the cutter.
j) NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the cutter with your hands, whilst
the router bit is spinning. ALWAYS switch the router off, disconnect the machine from the power
supply, and wait until the cutter has come to a standstill. ALWAYS use cut-proof gloves when
touching the cutter, to avoid injury.
k) ALWAYS inspect the workpiece for nails, staples and other metal objects and foreign
bodies. If the router cutter hits a concealed nail, the bit may be destroyed, high-velocity projectiles
may be produced, kickback can occur, all of which can lead to serious injury.
l) WHEREVER possible, use blind cutting techniques, where the router bit does not protrude
from underneath the workpiece. Keeping the cutter on the underside of the workpiece provides
additional operator protection.
m) ONLY expose the smallest possible part of the cutter above the table surface. Keep any
unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.
n) ALWAYS test any new setup by rotating the spindle by hand, with the machine
disconnected from the power supply. Ensure proper cutter clearance to the throat place, fence
and guard, before starting the machine.
o) ALWAYS use suitable throat plates, providing optimum clearance around the router bit.
p) ALWAYS use the router cutter guard, and adjust the guard to cover as much of the router bit as
possible, as close to the workpiece as possible. This not only protects the user from accessing the
revolving router cutter, it also provides effective dust extraction
q) LIMIT the depth of cut; NEVER remove too much material in one pass. Several passes with at
smaller cutting depth are safer, and produce a better surface finish.
r) ENSURE to adjust the router cutter speed, according to router cutter diameter and material
being cut. Use the speed selection dial on the plunge router.
s) ALWAYS feed AGAINST the rotation of the cutter. Both feed direction and rotation are indicated
by arrows on the router table surface.
t) ALWAYS use the fence if using a cutter without bearing or pilot. ALWAYS support the
workpiece firmly against the fence. NEVER remove the retractable guards on the fence. ALWAYS use
a cutter with bearing or pilot for freehand work.
Additional Safety Information
• ONLY use router cutters in perfect working condition compatible with the specification of the
router table and which are suitable for hand feeding operation (marked 'MAN' for manual
operation according to EN 847-1)
• The bit must not enter the workpiece in the same direction as the feed direction. If this occurs, it is
likely to cause climb cutting, causing the workpiece to climb and pull away from the operator. This
can lead to a loss of control and a potential hazard during operation
• Do not attempt to re-sharpen router cutters unless you specifically follow the manufacturer's
instructions and have the equipment to complete this task. The majority of router cutters have
blades that cannot be re-sharpened and must be replaced immediately if dull
• Do not create fence traps caused by improper fence location. Fence traps happen when the fence
is positioned so far back that the front side of the workpiece would be behind the router cutter.
These are dangerous due to the risk of climb cutting and the difficulty of keeping the workpiece
against the fence
• Ensure the correct table insert (table ring) is fitted that is the correct size for the size of the router
cutter fitted
• Never use a router table until fully assembled and always re-check fasteners after re-assembly
after storage
• Make certain the router is not plugged into the power outlet when installing into the table or
when making adjustments or changing accessories
• DO NOT plug the router into a standard mains wall socket. It must be plugged into the router table
switch box so it can be switched off in an emergency
• The router table must be installed on a solid level surface and secured so the table will not tip.
Use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed supports is necessary for long or wide workpieces. Long
workpieces without adequate support could cause the table to tip towards the operator causing
injury
• Routers create a lot of vibration and can work loose from their mountings. Check the mountings
frequently and re-tighten if necessary
• Never start the tool with the router cutter already engaged in the workpiece. This can lead to a lack
of control and possible injury
