Fitting & 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 (Fig. U)
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
2. 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
3. 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
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 (4 & 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 (4 & 24)
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
