• The router table is designed to cut flat, straight and squared material only. Do not cut material that
is warped, uneven, weak or made from inconsistent material. If necessary make sure material is
correctly prepared before use. Incorrect material can lead to a lack of control and possible injury
WARNING: Unmaintained tools can cause uncontrolled situations. ONLY use router cutters that
are correctly sharpened, maintained and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: Seek professional training and assistance before attempting work that require procedures you
are not familiar with. STOP using the router table, if, at any point during operation, you encounter
difficulties or are uncertain how to proceed safely.

moulding (fence and free hand), end grain work, using a template guide, and morticing. For use with
the Triton Workcentre TWX7 and Triton Routers.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. 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
IMPORTANT: Read these instructions in combination with the instructions supplied with your Triton
router and the Triton Workcentre.

Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the router is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before
attaching or changing any accessories, inserting or removing modules or making any adjustments.
Installing & removing the router module
See 'Installing and removing modules' in the main Workcentre TWX7 manual for a complete guide.
WARNING: Lower the router cutter to a safe height position before installing or removing the
router table module.
WARNING: Some modules are heavy, especially with power tools installed. ALWAYS grip
modules with both hands, ensure secure footing, stand upright, and avoid awkward movements
when removing and fitting modules
IMPORTANT: Always lower modules carefully using both the provided Thumb Holes. Uncontrolled
lowering can cause Workcentre, module and power tool damage as well as possible injury to the
operator.
WARNING: Do not place fingers and/or body parts between the module and the Workcentre
chassis. See Fig. L
To remove: Toggle the Module Locks to the unlocked position (see Fig. M). Using both Thumb Holes
EN
(12) to tilt the module to 45° then slide and lift out
To insert: Locate the Module Mounting Rollers in the Module Mounting Tracks (15) as a hinging
point and lower the insert down. Use the Thumb Holes to lower to a level position and then re-lock
the Module Locks
Note: Modules can be stood upright by angling them to around 120°. This position can be used
when adjustments on the underside of modules are necessary, e.g. adjustments to the fitted power
tools, and there is no need to remove the module.
Assembling the router table module
• Use the Figures provided; A-K to assemble the router table module. Step B requires additional
information below.
Note: P1-6 on Fig.A is the Starting Pin for freehand operation and only requires fitting for freehand
operation.

Fitting a Triton router to the router mounting plate
• The mounting plate is on the underside of the table and has been designed for direct mounting
to any of the compatible Triton Routers (TRA001, TRA002, TFBR001, JOF001 and MOF001)
WARNING: Remove the plunge spring on the JOF001, TRA001 and TRA002 to configure the
router for table-mounted operation. See the original router manual for procedure. Store the spring
carefully as it will need to be re-fitted when the router is removed from the router table module.
WARNING: The plunge spring on the JOF001 plunge router must not be removed before
installing on the router table.
1. Remove the plastic cover of the base plate of the router by removing the securing screws. The
screws and plastic base plate should be safely stored for when they may need to be re-fitted in
the future
2. Ensure the base of the router is completely clean so it will be level with the mounting plate when
fitted
3. Loosen the two mounting knobs on the router until the bolt heads can protrude approximately
10mm (
⁄
") above the base of the router

8
4. Push down on the mounting knobs until the bolt heads locate into the keyholes, then rotate the
router anticlockwise until the knobs align with the small triangle holes (Fig. B)
5. Tighten the mounting knobs firmly
6. Ensuring all mains power is switched OFF, connect the power cable plug of the power tool to the
mains socket of the Workcentre not directly to a wall socket or other mains outlet
Note: Early Triton TRA001 routers do not feature a table winder connector.
Levelling the throat plate
1. Level the throat plate in the router table using a square and the supplied hex key to adjust the
levelling screws (see Fig. N)
2. Fit the three Throat Plate Screws (P1-10/11) to secure the throat plate in position, and ensure they
pass through the holes in the steel plate (P1-15) to enable levelling
3. Check the throat plate is level with the table surface
IMPORTANT: Always ensure the correct throat plate is used for the fitted router bit.
Levelling the router module
• All modules must be adjusted so they are level with the Workcentre chassis, to achieve accurate
results and for safe operation. Therefore, all modules are equipped with seven Module Levelling
Screws (3 & 11)
1. Fit the module into the Workcentre chassis and lock both Module Locks (20)
2. Tighten the three Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (11), until there is no movement between the
module and the Workcentre 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 & 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 & 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
