Assembly / Preparation - Triton FJA 300 Instrucciones De Uso

Screw a Right-handed Fence Cap (7) and a Left-
handed Fence Cap (8) onto each end of the Link Hose
(9). Note the hose has a left-hand thread - screw
anti-clockwise.
Locate the fence caps, with hose fitted, into the ends
of the fences closest to the slider, using the orientation.
Gently tap them in completly with a mallet or similar.
Note: It may be necessary to temporarily loosen the
nyloc nut at the end of the fixed fence and the round
knob at the end of the adjustable fence while fitting
the caps.
Fit the remaining fence caps to the other fence ends.
Insert three M6 x 12 Coach Bolts (28) down the rear
channel of the fixed fence.
Fit the plastic Finger Spacer (31) and
(32 or 33 depending on which size finger joints you
wish to make) to the centre bolt using a Washer (19)
and Hex Nut (12). Position it approximately 25mm past
the cutter opening in the fence, toward the outer brace.
Fit a Finger Stop (34), to each of the outer bolts using
Washers (19) and M6 Hex Nuts (12) The correct
position will be determined later.
Step 4
(Use fasteners from Fastener Bag 3) - Push an M4
Nyloc Nut (35) into the hexagonal depression on each
Cutter Surround 'A' & 'B' (36). Screw an M4 x 10 Screw
(37) into each. Leave a 3mm gap under the head of the
screw, and fit them to the fences as follows:
PREPARATION
1. Fit a ⁄ " or ⁄ " straight cutter into the collet of your
1 1
2 4
router. (Collet size does not determine whether you
make ⁄ " or ⁄ " finger joints.
1 1
2 4
are available for both size collets)
Note: While any
⁄ " straight cutter can be used,
1
2
some hardwoods produce long chips which can block
the dust extraction. For these cases a gapped edge
⁄ " Straight Cutter (26) is supplied.
1
2
require a slower feed rate which will not block the
dust extraction.
Set the cutter height until the tip is around 0.5mm
above the thickness of your intended workpiece
2. With the Finger Jointer fitted to the Router Table (as
described in Step 1), remove the MDF fence faces
temporarily
1 ⁄ " or 1 ⁄ " Finger
2 4
⁄ " and ⁄ " straight cutters
1 1
2 4
⁄ " cutters

4
To set up for ⁄ " finger joints, fit Cutter Surround 'A' to
1
2
the fixed fence and 'B' to the adjustable fence.
For 1 ⁄ " cuts, fit 'B' to the fixed fence and 'A' to the
4
adjustable fence. Turn the unit upside down and drop
the cutter surround into the opening on the fence base.
Slide it back until the screw locates fully into the slot.
Tighten the screw to lock each surround in place.
Dust Extraction
The Finger Jointer has been designed for use with a
vacuum cleaner for chip extraction.
Screw the vacuum hose, supplied with your Router
Table, into the dust port on the fixed fence (left-hand
thread) and plug the wand of your vacuum cleaner
into the hose adaptor. The end of the adjustable fence
remains open to provide a through-flow of air, for
effective extraction.
For a larger collection capacity, consider fitting a Triton
Dust Collector (DCA300) to your vacuum.
If not connected for dust extraction it will be necessary
to stop work at intervals and clear the shavings
from inside the fences. Shavings will also need to be
removed from beneath the workpiece using a bristle
brush (eg. paint brush or similar). WARNING: Always
switch the machine off at the mains power socket
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
procedures.
3. Loosen the round knobs and set the adjustable fence
around 100mm away from, and parallel to, the fixed
fence. Re-tighten the clamps
4. Pull the Finger Jointer to the front (switchbox end) of
the Router Table - this is the start position. The cutter
should locate just inside the fixed fence extrusion
without touching the cutter surround. If the cutter
touches the surround, check that the surrounds (A & B)
have been fitted correctly - see Step 4
Push the Finger Jointer to the rear of the Router Table.
The cutter should locate just inside the adjustable
fence extrusion, without touching the cutter surround
