Hand-Held Operation - Triton TRA 001 Instrucciones De Uso

HAND-HELD OPERATION

• Always use both hands to control the router and ensure your
workpiece is securely clamped to prevent any movement during
operation
• Never operate the router freehand
without some form of guidance.
Guidance can be provided by a
bearing guided cutter, the fence
guide supplied or a straight edge
(eg. a batten clamped to your
work as shown above)
• Always feed against the direction
of cutter rotation (clockwise,
indicated by the arrows
on the router
base)
• Do not operate the
router upside down
unless securely mounted
in a well-guarded router
table (eg. Triton brand)
THE BASE ASSEMBLY
The Extended Baseplate (22)
supplied with the Triton Router
provides greater stability when
using bearing guided cutters along
an edge.
Place one hand on the long end of
the base, holding it down onto your
work, and grip the router handle,
furthest away, with your other hand.
EXTENDED BASEPLATE AND FENCE
1. To fit the extended baseplate (22)
loosen the Mounting Knobs (18)
approximately 10mm (
coach bolt
2. Position the extended baseplate
onto the base of the router with
the heads of the coach bolts
beneath the keyhole slots in the
baseplate
NOTE: The router can be mounted
with the long overhang to the left or
to the right depending on where the
support is required. For edge work,
locate the power switch on the short
overhang side of the base
3. Push the Baseplate Mounting
Knobs (18) until the bolt heads
GB
locate into the keyholes, then slide the extended baseplate until
the bolts locate against the ends of the keyhole slots. Tighten
the knobs firmly. To fit the Fence (19) loosen the fence knobs
a few turns and slide the fence along the tracks on the base.
Lock at the desired setting by tightening both fence knobs

• When routing trenches some
distance in from an edge, fit the
fence to the long end of the base
• When performing edge work with
a non-bearing guided cutter fit
the fence to the short end of the
base.
• If using a very large diameter
cutter it may be necessary to fix wooden blocks to the fence
faces via the screw holes, to ensure the cutter does not contact
the fence

CIRCLE CUTTING
1. Fit the extended base (without
fence) to the router
2. Remove the Pivot Mount (23)
from the base and fix it to the
centre of your work using a small
nail or screw through one of the
holes in the pivot mount. Leave
the pivot mount bolt in position
3. Lower the router and base over
the pivot mount and refit the
washer and wing-nut
4. With the power switched 'Off',
rotate the router along the
intended path to check the
circle, and make any necessary
adjustments
5. Cut the circle in several passes,
lowering the cut depth by say
2mm ( ⁄ ") each pass. Do not

attempt to cut deeply in one pass
• Through cuts: If cutting all the
way through the material, fix a
sacrificial board to the underside
of your workpiece. Cut the circle
oversize, then when the cut is all the way through, reduce the
diameter and work back to the desired size, using light, full
depth passes.
