Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power
supply before attaching or changing any accessories, or making
any adjustments.
WARNING: Periodically, during prolonged use or when the
router has been transported or dropped, check the Plunge Spring
Access Cap (16) is correctly located and secured in place. It should
sit parallel with the body of the tool with no visible gap, and the
securing screw should be correctly located to prevent the Plunge
Spring Access Cap from accidently unscrewing, see Image U. The
plunge spring is tensioned with sufficient force to cause serious
injury if released in an uncontrolled manner. Always follow the
instructions carefully when removing and replacing the plunge
spring.
Collet & cutter installation
Note: Wear protective gloves when inserting and removing router
bits due to the sharp edges of the cutters.
1. Place the router upside down on a secure flat surface, with the
motor completely stationary and the power cable removed from
the mains
2. Plunge the router to its maximum depth by pressing the
Winder Handle Clutch Ring (9) inwards, and turning the Winder
Handle (8) clockwise until the Collet (23) is protruding from
beneath the Base (Image C)
Note: Ensure the Depth Stop (4) is fully retracted (see 'Depth
stop & turret'). The Collet should be protruding through the base,
allowing easy spanner access.
3. Using the Spanner (25) provided, loosen the Collet by turning it
anti-clockwise until loose enough to remove (Image D)
4. Select the desired Collet, and install into the Chuck (2) by
screwing the Collet in clockwise
5. Insert the router cutter into the Collet ensuring that at least
20mm ( ⁄ ") or half of the shaft (whichever is greater) is

inserted into the Collet, then use the Spanner to turn the Collet
slightly, allowing the collet lock to engage. Once engaged, turn
the spanner clockwise to tighten the cutter
6. Return the router to a normal operating depth. This will
disengage the collet lock and release the retracting switch
shutter, enabling access to the Power Switch (14)
Dust extraction port
Note: The Triton Router is equipped with a Dust Extraction Port (20)
for chip extraction above the cut. The Dust Extraction Port accepts
EN
38mm (1½") outer-diameter hose. It is also compatible with the
Triton Dust Collector (DCA300) and the Triton Dust Port Adaptor
(TDPADIN) which allows for third-party hoses to be attached.
• The dust extraction hose screws into position via a left-hand
thread (anti-clockwise)

Extended baseplate & fence installation
Note: When using the router with the baseplate fitted, 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.
1. Locate the two Baseplate Mounting Knobs (21) and loosen
them entirely. This permits the mounting studs to engage the
router securing holes on the Extended Baseplate (27)
2. Turn both the plunge router and the Extended Baseplate
upside down
3. Press the Baseplate Mounting Knobs on the plunge router
inwards, to expose the mounting studs
4. Align the mounting studs with the router securing holes on the
Extended Baseplate (27), and slide into the keyhole slots
(Image E)
Note: The extended baseplate orientation is dependent on where
the support is required. For edge work, locate the Power Switch (14)
on the short overhang side of the base
5. Tighten the Baseplate Mounting Knobs on the plunge router
firmly to secure the plunge router to the Extended Baseplate
6. To fit the Fence (22) loosen the fence knobs, and slide the fence
along the tracks on the Extended Baseplate (Image F). Lock at
the required setting by tightening both fence knobs
Note: When routing trenches at distance from an edge, fit the
fence to the long end of the baseplate.
Note: When performing edge work with a non-bearing guided
cutter, fit the fence to the short end of the baseplate (Image G)
Note: 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.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory
and hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working
with this tool.
Switching on & off
Note: When the router is connected to the power source, the Power
Switch (14) will illuminate in both 'On' and 'Off' positions.
Note: The Retracting Power Switch Cover (15) prevents accidental
starting of the router. It must be retracted before the router can be
switched on (Image A). The cover will remain open until the router
is switched off.
1. Ensure that the plunge router is at the maximum extension of
its travel, and that the cutter will not conflict with any foreign
objects when it is powered on
2. Connect the power cord to the mains, and slide the Retracting
Power Switch Cover back to reveal the Power Switch
3. Press the Power Switch in the 'I' position to turn the plunge
router ON (Image B). Whilst the Power Switch is in this position,
the Retracting Power Switch Cover will be prevented from re-
covering the Power Switch
4. To turn OFF, press the Power Switch in the 'O' position. The
Retracting Power Switch Cover will slide back to its original
position
