Cutting depth adjustment

Note: To lock the router at a particular depth of cut, plunge the router head down and rotate

the Plunge Lock Lever (16) to its lower position. This will hold the router head in this position

• There are three methods of cut depth adjustment, depending on the accuracy and control

required:

Free plunge

1. Free plunge depth adjustments can be made with the Plunge Selection Button (6) engaged.

Press the Plunge Selection Button deep inside the handle until it engages inward (image I)

2. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (16) and push the body of the router until the required depth

is reached. Re-lock the Plunge Lock Lever

Note: The position of the Plunge Lock Lever can be altered by removing its retaining screw and

repositioning the lever on the bolt. Re-tighten ﬁrmly.

Winder handle adjustment

1. Plunge depth adjustments can be made by turning the Winder Handle (7)

2. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (6) and ensure that the button is ﬂush with the

Winder Handle (Image J)

3. To release the handle, pull the Winder Handle Clutch Ring (8) inwards

4. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (16) and twist the Winder Handle until the desired depth of

cut is reached. Release the Winder Handle Clutch Ring, and lock the Plunge Lock Lever

Micro Winder

Note: For use in Winder Handle (7) plunge mode only.

1. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (6), and ensure that the Plunge Lock Lever (16) is

unlocked

Note: If the Micro Winder (10) is turned with the Plunge Lock Lever engaged, the Micro Winder

will start clicking and the cut depth will remain unchanged.

2. Turn the Micro Winder clockwise to increase cut depth and anti-clockwise to reduce cut

depth. Adjust the cut depth until the desired height is reached (Image K)

Note:When the end of the depth adjustment range is reached, the Micro Winder will offer

greater resistance and will begin to ‘click’.

3. Engage the Plunge Lock Lever, particularly for heavy cuts

Depth stop and turret

1. The Depth Stop (4) and Turret Stops (1) are used to accurately pre-set up to three different

cut depths

2. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock Knob (5) and retract the Depth Stop (4) fully, then retighten

(Image L)

3. Set the turret posts to the required plunge depths using the scales on the stationary turret

post (Image M)

Note: To change turret posts, rotate the entire turret assembly to align with the Depth Stop

(Image N)

4. With the desired cutter installed into the Collet (22), adjust the plunge depth until the tip of

the cutter touches the workpiece

5. Rotate the turret until the ﬁxed turret post is in line with the Depth Stop. Release the stop,

allowing it to spring onto the post, then retighten the Depth Stop Lock Knob. The plunge

depth is now set at zero (Image O)

6. 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, the supplied guides, or a straight edge (Image P)

1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure that the

workpiece will not move. Use clamps wherever possible

2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed

3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router slowly, keeping the

base plate 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 (Image Q). 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, and clockwise for

internal cuts.

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 (eg. Triton brand).

Making multiple pass cuts

1. The Turret Stops (1) allow the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in an operator-

determined number of steps. Each step of the turret can be preset by adjusting the

thumbwheel on the turret post

2. Rotate the Turret Stops so that the Depth Stop 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 (24), without the Fence (21) attachment, to the router

2. Remove the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount (19) from the Extended Baseplate and ﬁx it to the

centre of the workpiece, using a small nail or screw, through one of the holes in the pivot

mount (Image R). Leave the pivot mount bolt in position

3. Lower the router and base over the pivot mount and reﬁt the washer and wing-nut (Image

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 approximately 2mm (1⁄13") each

pass (Image T). 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

Table-mounted operation

WARNING: When in use with the Triton Workcentre Router Table Module WX7RT001,

the maximum cutter diameter is 50mm (2

⁄16"). This is constrained by the Workcentre

speciﬁcation.

Note: Fitting and operating this router on a router table should be carried out in accordance

with the literature supplied with the router table.

Note: Whilst this product was designed for efﬁcient and convenient operation on most router

tables, it is particularly suited for use with the Triton Router Table RTA300.

Note: The plunge spring MUST be removed before this router is ﬁtted into a router table:

1. Set the router at the top of its plunge range and engage the Plunge Lock Lever (16)

2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge Spring Access Cap (14) a few turns.

3. Holding the Plunge Spring Access Cap ﬁrmly so that the spring will not shoot upwards when

released, twist the cap anti-clockwise to remove it (image U)

4. Remove the spring and store in a safe place.

5. Replace the Plunge Spring Access Cap and re-tighten the screw.

Note: Be sure to re-ﬁt the plunge spring before using the router freehand.

The Table Height Winder (25) engages with the Table Height Winder Connection Point (26) for

quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted (image V)
