• ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete standstill before

removing the machine from the workpivvece

• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or

maintenance

WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic. Some materials may be

chemically treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite materials

may contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and other chemicals. Avoid

prolonged exposure to dust generated from operating a router. DO NOT allow dust to get onto

skin or eyes and do not allow the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption of harmful

chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated area. Use a suitable dust mask and dust

extraction system where possible. Where there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is more

critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of personal protection is used.

Intended Use

Hand-held, mains-powered plunge router used for cutting proﬁles, grooves, edges and

elongated holes in natural and composite wood, and also stationary installation in the Triton

Precision Router Table, the Triton Workcentre, and other suitable table systems.

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your new plunge router. Familiarise yourself with all its

features and functions

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition

• If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this

tool

Before Use

WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or

changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.

Collet and 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 (8)

inwards, and turning the Winder Handle (7) clockwise until the Collet (22) is protruding the

base (Image C)

Note: Ensure the Depth Stop (4) is fully retracted (see ‘Depth stop and turret’). The Collet (22)

should be protruding through the base, allowing easy spanner access.

3. Using the Spanner (23) provided, loosen the Collet by turning it anti-clockwise until removal

(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 (23) 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 (12)

Dust extraction port

Note: The Triton Router is equipped with a Dust Extraction Port (18) for chip extraction

above the cut. The Dust Extraction Port accepts 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 and 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 (20) and loosen them entirely. This permits the

mounting studs to engage the router securing holes on the Extended Baseplate (24)

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 (24),

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 (12) 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 (21) 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 and off

Note: When the router is connected to the power source, the Power Switch (12) will illuminate

in both ‘On’ and ‘Off’ positions.

Note: The Retracting Power Switch Cover (13) 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

Variable speed control

Note: Router speed settings are not critical. Generally the highest speed which does not

result in burn marks on the workpiece should be used. Where stated, always follow the cutter

manufacturers’ maximum speed limitations.

• Operating at reduced speed increases the risk of damage to the router as a result of

overload. Use very slow feed rates and/or multiple shallow cuts.

• The Speed Controller (15) is marked 1 to 5, corresponding approximately with the speeds

and cutter diameters below. Turn the dial to select the required speed (image H)
