Operation; 3Mm / 0 - 1; 3Mm - Triton Unlimited Rebate Planer Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
1. Rotate the Depth Adjustment Dial (1) clockwise for a
deeper cut and anticlockwise for a shallower cut
2. The calibrations on the ring under the Depth
Adjustment Dial indicate the depth of cut. For example,
when "1" is next to the pointer on
the front of the planer, the depth
of cut is approximately 1mm
3. If depth of cut is critical, plane a
scrap piece of wood, measure the
difference in thickness and adjust
the setting as needed
ADJUSTING THE SPEED
The speed of the drum can be adjusted to suit the material
being planed or sanded.
Use the Variable Speed Control (25) to
adjust the speed for the job in hand.
Note: For planing it is recommended
to have the planer running at
full speed to obtain the cleanest
possible result. When sanding, the
speed should be set from 1-6; on
'MAX' (maximum speed), the unit
will vibrate and be hard to hold.

OPERATION

PLANING
1. Rest the front of the planer on the workpiece, ensuring
the blades are not in contact with the workpiece
2. Switch on the tool and wait for the blades to reach full
speed
3. Move the planer gently forward,
applying pressure on the front of
the tool at the start of planing,
and pressure at the rear of the
tool towards the end of the
planing stroke
GB
Note: As a feature this planer has
been fitted with a larger front handle
than traditional electric planers.
The front handle provides for good
ergonomics when planing, allows
the operator to balance and control
the unit with ease and is particularly
useful when vertical planing

SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Warning: Before plugging the machine into the power
socket always check that the On/
Off Trigger Switch (5) and Lock-
Off Button (6) work properly
1. Plug in the machine and grip
the tool with your index finger
on the on/off trigger switch and
thumb on the lock-off button
2. Depress the lock-off button
with your thumb and squeeze
the on/off trigger switch with
the rest of your hand gripping
the tool. You can release the
lock-off button once the planer
has started
3. To stop the tool, release the
thumb hold on the on/off trigger switch
4. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to
operate both the lock-off button and the on/off switch
Warning: Please note that the planer blades continue to
turn for some time after switching off the planer. Wait
until the motor has completely stopped before setting
down the tool to prevent damage to the planer blades or
the surface
If you wish to rest the planer on its side, do not rest it
on the side with the vents to prevent dust or chips from
getting into the motor
5. When the planer is not to be used for a short period, set
the depth control knob to the 'P' position and rest the
front of the planer on a block of wood to keep the base
clear of the surface. Ensure that the rear parking foot is
down to protect blades
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece
without tilting it downwards
Note: Planing is easier if you incline the workpiece slightly
away from you so that you plane 'downhill'
5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the
quality of the finish. For rough cutting, you can increase
the depth of cut, however to achieve a good finish you
will need to reduce the depth of cut and advance the
tool more slowly
Warning: Moving the machine too fast may cause a poor
quality of cut and can damage the blades or the motor.
Moving the machine too slowly may burn or mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material
being cut and the depth of the cut. Practice first on a
scrap piece of material to gauge the correct motion
Warning: Always use two hands to hold the planer
Warning: Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a
workbench
