Hand-Held Operation - Triton JOF 001 Instrucciones De Uso

HAND-HELD OPERATION

• Put on all safety equipment required to use this tool
• Ensure your workpiece is securely clamped to prevent
any movement during opera-
tion
• Hold the router firmly using
both hands to control the
router and keep an even
pressure and movement
when cutting
• Never operate the router
freehand without some form of guide. Guidance can be
provided by a bearing guided cutter,
the fence guide supplied, or a
straight edge
• Always feed
against the
direction of cutter
rotation. The cutter
rotates clockwise (as
indicated by the arrows on
adjacent to the baseplate
• Do not operate the router upside down unless securely
mounted in a well guarded router table (for example, the
Triton Router Table)
Optional template guide bushes
• An optional guide bush adaptor with seven different
template guide bushes is available for template routing
• This accessory kit (part no. TGA150) also includes a
dust chute for effective chip extraction alongside the cut
zone and is available through your local Triton retailer
Extended baseplate and fence
• The Extended Baseplate (16) provides greater stability
when using bearing-guided cutters along an edge
• 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.
To fit the extended baseplate
1. Loosen the Baseplate Mount-
ing Knobs (13) sufficiently
so that the bolts (on the
mounting knobs) will be able
to engage the keyhole slots in
the baseplate
2. Turn the router upside down
GB
3. Push each knob upwards
in turn as you slide the baseplate onto the base of the
router and engage the bolts in the keyhole slots on the
baseplate
4. Slide the extended baseplate until the bolts locate
against the ends of the keyhole slots. Tighten the base-
plate mounting knobs firmly

mounting knobs)
To fit the fence
1. Loosen the side fence knobs
2. Slide the Fence (14) onto
the rails at each side of the
baseplate
3. Lock at the required setting
by tightening both fence
knobs
NOTES
• When routing trenches some distance in from an edge,
fit the fence to the long end of the base
• When performing edge work with a non-bearing guided
cutter, fit the fence to the short end of the base
• 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 come into contact
with the fence
Circle cutting
1. Fit the extended base (with-
out fence) to the router
2. Remove the Pivot Mount (19)
from the base and fix it to the
centre of your work using a
small nail or screw through
one of the holes in the pivot
mount. Leave the pivot mount
bolt in position
3. Lower the router and base
over the pivot mount and refit
the washer and wing-nut
4. With the power switched OFF,
rotate the router along the
intended path to check the
circle, and make any neces-
sary adjustments.
5. Cut the circle in several passes, lowering the cut depth
by say 2mm (1⁄13") each pass. Do not attempt to cut
deeply in one pass
6. Through cuts: If cutting all
the way through the material,
fix a sacrificial board to the
underside of your workpiece.
Cut the circle oversize, then
when the cut is all the way
through, reduce the diameter
and work back to the desired
size, using light, full depth passes
