chassis

3. Place a straight edge over the corner, across the levelling screws, and check for gaps

4. Adjust the Module Levelling Screws, using the provided hex key, until both sides of the corner are ﬂush with the Workcentre

chassis

5. Repeat for the remaining three corners and the single Module Levelling Screw in the middle of the long side of the module.

6. Check all sides of the module are ﬂush with the Workcentre chassis by placing a straight edge over the module,

perpendicular to the long and short sides, as well as diagonally over the table. Fine-adjust and re-check where necessary

Dust extraction

WARNING: ALWAYS use a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system.

WARNING: Some dust from natural wood , surface coatings and composite materials contains toxic substances. ALWAYS dispose of harmful

dust according to laws and regulations.

• While dust extraction can be achieved using any vacuum cleaner, domestic (bag-type) units can ﬁll up very quickly. For a much larger

capacity, consider ﬁtting a Triton Dust Collector (DCA300) to your vacuum cleaner

• The combined electrical load of the router and vacuum cleaner may exceed the rated amperage of the domestic extension lead or power

outlet. Always connect the vacuum cleaner and router to separate electrical outlets, and switch on both

appliances separately

Operation

WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with

this tool.

IMPORTANT: The router table is marked with the feed direction. This indicates the correct and safest direction for the workpiece when making

the cut.

WARNING: Do not over-balance the Workcentre by using very large workpieces.

Note: Refer to your original TWX7 Workcentre instructions for full information and diagrams that refer to parts of the Workcentre.

Workcentre switchbox operation

IMPORTANT: The switchbox requires a live mains connection to switch ON. It will reset to OFF as soon as power is disconnected and require

resetting to ON when power is restored to continue operation.

Switching on and off

Note: Refer to your router manual for additional information

1. The Workcentre ON/OFF Switch is located at the front

2. Connect the Workcentre mains lead to a wall socket and switch on

3. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the ‘O’ position by pushing on the emergency stop ﬂap

4. Switch on the power tool by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into the ‘I’ position

5. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the ‘I’ position to power the tool to use

• Press down on the emergency stop ﬂap to switch off

User position and feed direction

• The main user position is deﬁned by the location of the safety cut-off switch

• ALWAYS remain positioned in close proximity to the switch, so the machine can be instantly switched off in the case of

emergency

• Feed workpieces from this position in the direction indicated by the arrows on the table surface of the individual module

Fitting and removing router bits

WARNING: Do not use Router Cutters that exceed 50mm in diameter with the router table module.

1. Switch off the router with the power switch ﬁtted to the tool itself

2. Fit the table winder through the router table and wind to raise the router cutter and collet

3. Use the router collet spanner to remove and replace the existing router bit

4. Wind the table winder so the router bit is at the correct height position

5. Ensuring the Workcentre power switch is set to ‘Off’, return the router on/off switch to the on/position

IMPORTANT: Do not use the table winder while the router is powered.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the router manual for details of compatible router bit types and sizes.

Using the guard

• Ensure the Guard (17) is used whenever possible and set to the correct height position to ensure maximum

protection for the operator’s hands

Using the fence micro adjusters

1. Screw the thumbwheels on the Fence Micro-Adjusters (4) out to provide sufﬁcient adjustment. Tighten the micro-adjusters in

position against the rear of the fence and screw the thumbwheels in to obtain the required rebate amount. One complete turn is 1mm

2. Unlock the fence, move it back against the micro-adjusters and re-lock

Using the fence

• The Fence Faces (14) should always be positioned as close to the cutter as possible. Position them by sliding forward or

backward. Ensure they are tensioned ﬁrmly enough to resist unwanted movement

Using the featherboards

IMPORTANT: Horizontal and vertical featherboards should not overlap in use. A minimum gap of 10mm is required. See Fig. Q

Both the Vertical Featherboard (5) and Horizontal Featherboard (19) are used to apply light pressure to the workpiece to hold it more securely

as it is cut.

• Each featherboard has a short plastic pin (Fig O): this indicates the workpiece line. Adjust both the Vertical Featherboard and

Horizontal Featherboard so this shorter pin just touches the workpiece so the longer pins are correctly tensioned against the

workpiece in use

• The exposed router bit cutter height should not exceed the height of the installed horizontal featherboards. Horizontal

featherboards can be stacked to allow for a higher exposed cutter and taller workpieces. This is an additional purchase

TWX7FB.

Using the fence spacers

Planing cuts should be performed with the cutter mostly hidden behind the Fence Faces (14) (Fig. R & S)

WARNING: NEVER make planing cuts with the workpiece passing between the cutter and fence on the right. The cutter will ﬂex aside, ‘climb

up’ on the work, and rip the workpiece out of your hands - or even pull your hand into the cutter

Planing on the router fence

• Planing cuts of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mm can be performed using the Fence Face Spacers (2)

Method 1

1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter

2. Push the spring-loaded left Fence Face away from the fence and slide the two Fence Face Spacers into the gaps

created at the required rotation for the maximum cut depth required as marked on the spacer

3. Use a wooden straight edge to align the cutter blade with the left Fence Face only. Begin the cut

Method 2

1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter

2. Set Micro-Adjusters (24) to mid travel; ensure marks are aligned

3. Use a wooden straight edge to align the cutter blade with the Fence Faces. Push the Micro-Adjusters into contact with the

Fence. Lock the Fence in this position

4. Decide on cut depth required. Wind both Micro-Adjusters clockwise by this depth. Unlock the Fence and push back into

contact with the Micro-Adjusters

5. Push the spring-loaded left Fence Face away from the Fence and slide the two Fence Face Spacers into the gaps created at the required

rotation for the maximum cut depth required as marked on the spacer. Begin the cut

Fitting the starting pin

• A Starter Pin can be ﬁtted to the router table to assist freehand routing. For freehand operation, conﬁgure the router table as Fig. P

• Ensure the guard is correctly adjusted to the correct height to provide maximum protection to the operator’s hands (Fig. T)

• In use, the workpiece should contact the starter pin ﬁrst and be angled from that position to the cutter for the ﬁrst cut

Maintenance

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.

General inspection

• Check regularly that all the ﬁxing screws are tight and all parts are undamaged and in good condition. Do not use the router table until

any faulty, damaged or heavily worn parts are replaced

• 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

Cleaning

• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the

body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through

the ventilation holes

• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents

• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts

Lubrication

• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant

Storage

• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children

Disposal

Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer functional and are not viable for repair.

• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), with household waste

• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose of power tools
