Before Use

WARNING: Ensure the router is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, inserting or removing modules or making any adjustments.
Installing and removing the router module
See 'Installing and removing modules' in the main Workcentre TWX7 manual for a complete guide.
WARNING: Lower the router cutter to a safe height position before installing or removing the router table module.
WARNING: Some modules are heavy, especially with power tools installed. ALWAYS grip modules with both hands,
ensure secure footing, stand upright, and avoid awkward movements when removing and fitting modules
IMPORTANT: Always lower modules carefully using both the provided Thumb Holes. Uncontrolled lowering can cause
Workcentre, module and power tool damage as well as possible injury to the operator.
WARNING: Do not place fingers and/or body parts between the module and the Workcentre chassis. See Fig. L
To remove: Toggle the Module Locks to the unlocked position (see Fig. M). Using both Thumb Holes (12) to tilt the
module to 45° then slide and lift out
To insert: Locate the Module Mounting Rollers in the Module Mounting Tracks (15) as a hinging point and lower the
insert down. Use the Thumb Holes to lower to a level position and then re-lock the Module Locks
Note: Modules can be stood upright by angling them to around 120°. This position can be used when adjustments on
the underside of modules are necessary, e.g. adjustments to the fitted power tools, and there is no need to remove
the module.
Assembling the router table module
• Use the Figures provided; A-K to assemble the router table module. Step B requires additional information below.
Note: P1-6 on Fig.A is the Starting Pin for freehand operation and only requires fitting for freehand operation.
Fitting a Triton router to the router mounting plate
• The mounting plate is on the underside of the table and has been designed for direct mounting of any of the three
Triton Routers (JOF001, MOF001 and TRA001)
WARNING: Remove the plunge spring to configure the router for table-mounted operation. See the original router
manual for procedure. Store the spring carefully as it will need to be re-fitted when the router is removed from the
router table module.
1. Remove the plastic cover of the base plate of the router by removing the securing screws. The screws and plastic
base plate should be safely stored for when they may need to be re-fitted in the future
2. Ensure the base of the router is completely clean so it will be level with the mounting plate when fitted
3. Loosen the two mounting knobs on the router until they are approximately 10mm (3⁄8") above the base of the
router when pushed down
4. Push down on the mounting knobs until the bolt heads locate into the keyholes and rotate the router anticlockwise
until the knobs align with the small triangle holes (Fig. B)
5. Tighten the mounting knobs firmly
6. Ensuring all mains power is switched off, connect the power cable plug of the power tool to the mains socket of
the Workcentre not directly to a wall socket or other mains outlet
Note: Early Triton TRA001 routers do not feature a table winder connector.
Levelling the throat plate
1. Level the throat plate in the router table using a square and the supplied hex key to adjust the levelling screws
(see Fig. N)
2. Fit the three Throat Plate Screws (P8) to secure the throat plate in position
3. Check the throat plate is level with the table surface
IMPORTANT: Always ensure the correct throat plate is used for the fitted router bit.
Levelling the router module
• All modules must be adjusted so they are level with the Workcentre chassis, to achieve accurate results and for
safe operation. Therefore all modules are equipped with seven Module Levelling Screws (11)
1. Fit the module into the Workcentre chassis and lock both Module Locks (20)
2. Tighten the three Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (11), until there is no movement between the module and the
Workcentre chassis
3. Place a straight edge over the corner, across the levelling screws, and check for gaps
4. Adjust the Module Levelling Screws, using the provided hex key, until both sides of the corner are flush with the
Workcentre chassis
5. Repeat for the remaining three corners and the single Module Levelling Screw in the middle of the long side of the
module.
6. Check all sides of the module are flush with the Workcentre chassis by placing a straight edge over the module,
perpendicular to the long and short sides, as well as diagonally over the table. Fine-adjust and re-check where
necessary
Dust extraction
WARNING: ALWAYS use a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system.
WARNING: Some dust from natural wood , surface coatings and composite materials contains toxic substances.
ALWAYS dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
• While dust extraction can be achieved using any vacuum cleaner, domestic (bag-type) units can fill up very quickly.
For a much larger capacity, consider fitting a Triton Dust Collector (DCA300) to your vacuum cleaner
• The combined electrical load of the router and vacuum cleaner may exceed the rated amperage of the domestic
extension lead or power outlet. Always connect the vacuum cleaner and router to separate electrical outlets, and
switch on both appliances separately

Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as suitable
gloves, when working with this tool.
IMPORTANT: The router table is marked with the feed direction. This indicates the correct and safest direction for the
workpiece when making the cut.
WARNING: Do not over-balance the Workcentre by using very large workpieces.
Note: Refer to your original TWX7 Workcentre instructions for full information and diagrams that refer to parts of the
Workcentre.
Workcentre switchbox operation
IMPORTANT: The switchbox requires a live mains connection to switch ON. It will reset to OFF as soon as power is
disconnected and require resetting to ON when power is restored to continue operation.
Switching on and off
Note: Refer to your router manual for additional information
1. The Workcentre ON/OFF Switch is located at the front
4
2. Connect the Workcentre mains lead to a wall socket and switch on
3. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the 'O' position by pushing on the emergency stop flap
4. Switch on the power tool by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into the 'I' position
5. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the 'I' position to power the tool to use
• Press down on the emergency stop flap to switch off
User position and feed direction
• The main user position is defined by the location of the safety cut-off switch
• ALWAYS remain positioned in close proximity to the switch, so the machine can be instantly switched off in the
case of emergency
• Feed workpieces from this position in the direction indicated by the arrows on the table surface of the
individual module
Fitting and removing router bits
WARNING: Do not use Router Cutters that exceed 50mm in diameter with the router table module.
1. Switch off the router with the power switch fitted to the tool itself
2. Fit the table winder through the router table and wind to raise the router cutter and collet
3. Use the router collet spanner to remove and replace the existing router bit
4. Wind the table winder so the router bit is at the correct height position
5. Ensuring the Workcentre power switch is set to 'Off', return the router on/off switch to the on/position
IMPORTANT: Do not use the table winder while the router is powered.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the router manual for details of compatible router bit types and sizes.
Using the guard
• Ensure the Guard (17) is used whenever possible and set to the correct height position to ensure maximum
protection for the operator's hands
Using the fence micro adjusters
1. Screw the thumbwheels on the Fence Micro-Adjusters (4) out to provide sufficient adjustment. Tighten the micro-
adjusters in position against the rear of the fence and screw the thumbwheels in to obtain the required rebate
amount. One complete turn is 1mm
2. Unlock the fence, move it back against the micro-adjusters and re-lock
Using the fence
• The Fence Faces (14) should always be positioned as close to the cutter as possible. Position them by sliding
forward or backward. Ensure they are tensioned firmly enough to resist unwanted movement
Using the featherboards
IMPORTANT: Horizontal and vertical featherboards should not overlap in use. A minimum gap of 10mm is required.
See Fig. Q
Both the Vertical Featherboard (5) and Horizontal Featherboard (19) are used to apply light pressure to the workpiece
to hold it more securely as it is cut.
• Each featherboard has a short plastic pin (Fig O): this indicates the workpiece line. Adjust both the Vertical
Featherboard and Horizontal Featherboard so this shorter pin just touches the workpiece so the longer pins are
correctly tensioned against the workpiece in use
• The exposed router bit cutter height should not exceed the height of the installed horizontal featherboards.
Horizontal featherboards can be stacked to allow for a higher exposed cutter and taller workpieces. This is an
additional purchase TWX7FB.

Note : Imperial measurements are approximate
Using the fence spacers
Planing cuts should be performed with the cutter mostly hidden behind the Fence Faces (14) (Fig. R & S)
WARNING: NEVER make planing cuts with the workpiece passing between the cutter and fence on the right. The cutter
will flex aside, 'climb up' on the work, and rip the workpiece out of your hands - or even pull your hand into the cutter
Planing on the router fence
• Planing cuts of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mm can be performed using the Fence Face Spacers (2)
Method 1
1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter
2. Push the spring-loaded left Fence Face away from the fence and slide the two Fence Face Spacers into the gaps
created at the required rotation for the maximum cut depth required as marked on the spacer
3. Use a wooden straight edge to align the cutter blade with the left Fence Face only. Begin the cut
Method 2
1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter
2. Set Micro-Adjusters (24) to mid travel; ensure marks are aligned
3. Use a wooden straight edge to align the cutter blade with the Fence Faces. Push the Micro-Adjusters into contact
with the Fence. Lock the Fence in this position
4. Decide on cut depth required. Wind both Micro-Adjusters clockwise by this depth. Unlock the Fence and push back
into contact with the Micro-Adjusters
5. Push the spring-loaded left Fence Face away from the Fence and slide the two Fence Face Spacers into the gaps
created at the required rotation for the maximum cut depth required as marked on the spacer. Begin the cut
Fitting the starting pin
• A Starter Pin can be fitted to the router table to assist freehand routing. For freehand operation, configure the
router table as Fig. P
• Ensure the guard is correctly adjusted to the correct height to provide maximum protection to the operator's hands
(Fig. T)
• In use, the workpiece should contact the starter pin first and be angled from that position to the cutter for the first
cut
