6. Set the plunge depth at zero by releasing the Depth Stop, allowing it to spring on to the fixed
post, then re-tighten the Depth Stop Lock Knob
7. Rotate the Turret Stops until the turret post with the desired plunge depth is aligned with the
Depth Stop
Making a cut
Note: NEVER operate the router freehand without some form of guide. Guidance can be provided
by a bearing guided router bit cutter, a straight edge (Fig. XVII), or the guides such as the Fence (47)
(Fig. XVIII) (not supplied with all kits).
Note: When routing with a straight edge (Fig. XVII), calculate the position of the required cut in the
workpiece by checking the distance from the centre of the cutter to the outside edge of the router
Base (2) (Fig. XVI).
1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure the workpiece will not
move and use clamps wherever possible
2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece while moving the router slowly, keeping the
Baseplate (1) held flat against the workpiece
4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the left side relative to the cutting
direction (Fig. XV / A-D)
5. Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily through the material. Be aware
that knots and other variations will slow the rate of progress
Note: To avoid 'bit chatter' , direct the cut anti-clockwise for external cuts (Fig. XV / B & C) and
clockwise for internal cuts (Fig. XV / D).
Note: Moving the router too fast can result in a poor-quality finish and overloading of the motor.
Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece.
Note: Normal operation of a router is to plunge the head after the router has been switched ON.
Note: Do not operate the router upside down unless securely mounted in a well-guarded router
table (i.e. Triton brand).
Making multiple pass cuts
1. The Turret Stops (3) allow the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in an operator-determined
number of steps. Each step of the turret can be pre-set by adjusting the thumbwheel on the turret
post (Fig. VI)
2. Rotate the Turret Stops so the Depth Stop (4) will contact the highest pre-set turret post when the
router is plunged. The first pass of the cut can now be made
3. Continue to make passes, rotating the Turret Stops and adjusting the Turret post depth for each
pass when necessary until the full depth of cut has been achieved
Circle cutting
1. Fit the Extended Baseplate (46) without the Fence (47) to the router (see 'Extended baseplate &
fence installation')
2. Remove the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount (45) from the Extended Baseplate by undoing the bolt and
wing nut and removing both the Upper Plate (Fig. XIX - A) and Lower Plate (Fig. XIX - D)
3. Select a combination of Upper Plate Positioning Holes (Fig. XIX - B) and Lower Plate Positioning
Holes (Fig. XIX - C)
Note: There are 2 holes in both the upper and lower plates that can be used to modify the length
of the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount and therefore the radius of the circle to be cut. Additionally, the
orientation of the Upper Plate can be turned 180 degrees, offering further positioning options.
4. Place the Pivot Mount Bolt (XIX – F) in the selected Positioning Hole in the Lower Plate
5. Fix the Lower Plate to the workpiece using a small nail or screw through the Pivot Hole
(Fig. XIX - E) at the centre of the required circle. Leave the Pivot Mount Bolt in position (Fig. XX)
6. Lower the router and base over the Pivot Mount Bolt and refit the washer and wing nut (Fig. XIX).
Do not tighten
7. Slide the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount along the length of the mounting slot in the Base Plate to
achieve the exact radius of the required circle
Note: If you cannot achieve the correct radius, you will need to select a different combination of
Positioning Holes and Upper Plate orientation – see 3 above
8. Tighten the wing nut to secure the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount
9. With the router OFF, rotate the router along the intended path to check the circle and make any
necessary adjustments
10. Cut the circle in several passes, lowering the cut depth by approximately 2mm each pass
WARNING: 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 underneath
of the workpiece. Cut the circle oversize, then when the cut is all the way through, reduce the
diameter and work back to the required size, using light, full-depth passes
Template & guide bush routing (Fig. XXI)
• Different template guide bushes are available for template routing
• Accessory kits are available through your local Triton retailer
• See 'Guide bush mounting plate & guide bush installation'
• Template patterns are used with a Guide Bush (Fig. XXI - part B) to allow the Router to carve a
pattern in the workpiece and are used for consistent, repeatable shapes
• When using a template and Guide Bush, the cut on the final workpiece will differ from the space
in the template, and the Offset (Fig. XXI - part E) of the Guide Bush must be considered prior to
cutting
• To work out the Offset, use this formula: Offset = Guide Bush outer diameter - Router Bit diameter
• Template patterns and jigs can be made out of a variety of materials such as hardboard, plywood,
plastic or metal
Table-mounted operation
WARNING: When in use with the Triton Workcentre Router Table Module TWX7RT001, the
maximum cutter diameter is 50mm. This is constrained by the TWX7RT001's specification.
Note: While this product was designed for efficient and convenient operation on most router tables,
it is particularly suited for use with the Triton Router Table Module TWX7RT001.
WARNING: When used with a third-party router table, refer to the 'Specification' section of this
manual for the maximum cutting diameter of the router. Refer to the instructions supplied with the
router table for the maximum cutting diameter of the router table.
Note: Fitting and operating this router on a third-party router table should be carried out in
accordance with the literature supplied with the router table.
Note: Router adjustments are extremely easy using the unique features described earlier in the
manual. See 'Collet & router bit installation' and 'Cutting depth adjustment' .
IMPORTANT: The plunge spring MUST be removed before this router is fitted to a router table:
1. Set the router at the full height of its plunge range and engage the Plunge Lock Lever (16)
2. Loosen and remove the small screw next to the Plunge Springe Access Cap (20) (Fig. XXII)
3. Applying downward pressure, hold the Access Cap firmly so the spring will not shoot upwards
when released and twist the Cap anti-clockwise until the tab on the Cap aligns with the alignment
tab on the router body (Fig. XXII)
WARNING: The plunge spring is tensioned with great force to enable a smooth plunging
action. When the Plunge Spring Access Cap will shoot up quickly with the same force once it has
been unscrewed. Be careful to not let the cap spring upwards uncontrolled, which could cause
personal injury.
4. Slowly allow the Plunge Spring Access Cap to raise upwards once released (Fig. XXII)
5. Remove the spring and store in a safe place
6. Replace the Cap: ensure the tab on the cap is aligned with the alignment tab on the router body
before turning the cap clockwise and reinstalling the screw (Fig. XXIII) to lock the cap in place
IMPORTANT: Before mounting the router under the router table, make sure the Depth Stop Lock
Knob (7) is loosened and the Plunge Lock Level (16) is in the unlocked position.
Note: Ensure the spring is re-installed into the router before using the router freehand as a plunge
router (Fig. XXIII).
• The Table Height Winder (48) engages with the Table Height Winder Connection Point (27) for
quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted
Accessing the baseplate screw threads
1. To mount the router in a third-party router table or a table of your own construction, remove the
4 x Baseplate Screws (39) of the Baseplate (1) (Fig. XIII) and remove the Baseplate
2. The 4 x Baseplate Screw holes are ¼ UNC screw threads, used to secure the Baseplate to the Base
(2) but also for table mounting if required
3. See the spacing dimensions of the Baseplate Screw holes in Fig. XVI
Accessories
• A full range of accessories—including router bits, collets and guide bushes—is available from your
Triton stockist
• Spare parts including replacement brushes can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect the router from the power supply before carrying out any
inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised Triton service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords used
with this tool
