Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure all parts of the product are present and in good condition.
If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this product

Before Use

Fitting drill bits
WARNING: The Drill Bits are very sharp; always wear gloves and handle with care.
1. Rotate one of the Drill Bit Holders (19) until you have access to the fastening
screw (Image A)
2. Loosen the screw using the supplied Hex Key (15)
3. Hold the bit so that the flat section of the shank will align with the
fastening screw.
4. Insert the shank as far as it will go into the holder, and tighten the fastening
screw to secure in place
5. Check the bit is securely fastened
6. Repeat procedure with the other bit
Zeroing the depth gauge
After fitting the drill bits, it is necessary to re-set the Depth Gauge (8) and Zero
Indicator (7) so that the gauge reads correctly (Image C)
1. Loosen the Depth Gauge Locking Knob (6) enough so the Depth Gauge can
move freely
2. Use a scrap piece of wood placed against the Front Face (12) and carefully push
the Tool Body (4) forwards until it stops, so that the cutting point of the drill bits is
level with the surface of the Front Face. Hold this in position
Note: Depending on the drill bits used, it may already be very close to level with the
Front Face and may only need minor or possibly no movement for the drill bits to be
level with the Front Face
3. Move the Depth Gauge (8) as far back as possible away from the Front Face
and then re-tighten the Depth Gauge Locking Knob while still holding the
position in Step 2
4. Loosen and rotate the Zero Indicator (7) slightly so that the pointer is level with '0'
on the Depth Gauge then re-tighten.
5. Carry out a final check to ensure the drill bits are level with the Front Face while
the Zero Indicator is level with '0' on the depth gauge.
Note: You do not need to adjust the position of the Zero Indicator again until you
change the drill bits.
Connecting a dust extraction system
1. Push-fit a compatible dust adaptor (not supplied) into the Dust Port (22) Image C
2. Attach the hose from the dust extraction system to the dust adaptor and make
sure it is fitted securely.
Note: The adaptor can be adjusted to any take-off position through the 180° arc
towards the operator.
Setting the fence angle
The Fence (1) has 90° travel, with indents for quick and easy setting at 22.5°,
45° and 67.5°.
To set the angle required:
1. Loosen the Fence Angle Locking Knob (9).
2. Rotate the Fence to the required angle setting on the Angle Guide (10),
see Image D
3. Tighten the Fence Angle Locking Knob so that the Fence is secured in position
Note: Check the Fence is securely locked in position before drilling; failure to do so
may result in damage to the workpiece or the machine if it moves during use
Note: The Angle Guide is approximate only; use additional angle measuring equipment
if necessary, to check the fence angle
Using the viewer
• The three lines on the Viewer (2) identify:
- The centre line of each drill bit,
- The centre line between the two drill bits.
• Use these markings to accurately align the drill with the set-up marks on your
workpiece (Image G)
NOTE: The Triton Double Dowelling Jointer produces holes spaced at exactly 32mm,
making the tool compatible with 'System 32' cabinet making – ideal for creating
neatly spaced rows of holes in cabinet walls.
Adjusting the drilling depth
• The Depth Gauge (8) enables you to set a drilling depth of 0 – 1-1/2" (Image F)
• Whenever drill bits are changed or new bits fitted, the Zero Indicator (7) and Depth
Gauge (8) must be zeroed. See 'Zeroing the depth gauge' for guidance.
• Use the scale on the guide to set the required depth
1. Loosen the Depth Gauge Locking Knob (6) so that the Depth Gauge can slide
back and forth
2. Position the Depth Gauge so that the required depth (on the scale) is aligned
with the pointer on the Zero Indicator (7)
3. Tighten the Depth Gauge Locking Knob to secure the depth adjustment gauge in
the required position. This will limit the movement of the tool body and therefore
the drilling depth to the maximum value you have set
Adjusting the drilling height
The rack and pinion fence height adjustment mechanism allows adjustment of the
drilling height from 23/64" - 1-11/16" (Image G)
1. Loosen the Fence Height Locking Knob (17)
2. Rotate the Fence Height Adjustment Knob (16) to raise or lower the Fence
3. Align the black arrow on the height adjustment mechanism with the height
required on the Height Scale (18)
4. Tighten the Fence Height Locking Knob to secure the Fence (1) at the set height
Operation
IMPORTANT: Always use two hands when drilling. Hold the Tool Body (4) of the jointer
in one hand, with a finger resting comfortably on the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (21) and
with the other hand hold the Auxiliary Handle (3) so the tool is securely held
Switching ON & OFF
• To start the dowel jointer squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (21)
• Release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch to turn off
Notes:
• In order to drive holes into the workpiece as required, first set up the dowelling
jointer according to the 'Before Use' instructions, and prepare the workpiece(s)
by marking in pencil at the required drilling points
• It is important that the workpieces are accurately marked.
