Hand-held operation

See Fig VII and VIII

• Put on all safety equipment required to use this tool

• Ensure your workpiece is securely clamped to prevent any movement during operation

• 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 the base adjacent to the baseplate mounting knobs)

• Do not operate the router upside down unless securely mounted in a well-guarded router

table (for example, the Triton Router Table)

Adjusting the depth of cut

There are two ways to adjust the cutting depth:

• Free Plunge, for conventional & fast depth adjustment

• Micro Adjuster, for precise depth setting throughout the full plunge range

Free Plunge

1. Disengage the Plunge Lock Lever (7)

2. Using the handles, push the router down to the required plunge depth

3. Engage the Plunge Lock Lever to lock the router at the required depth

Micro Adjuster

See Fig IX and X

1. Disengage the Plunge Lock Lever (7)

2. Turn the Micro Winder (8) until the router bit is at the depth required. Turn clockwise to

increase cut depth, anti-clockwise to reduce cut depth

3. Engage the Plunge Lock Lever when the router is at the required depth, particularly for

heavy cuts

Depth stop and turret

• The Depth Stop Lock Knob (11) and Turret Stops (9) enable accurate pre-setting of two

different cut depths

Zeroing the router

1. Fit the router bit you require and place the router, right side up, on the work bench

2. Rotate the Turret (9) until the ﬁxed post is beneath the depth stop

3. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock Knob (11) so that the depth stop is fully released

4. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (7), then plunge the router until the tip of the bit is in contact

with the surface of the work bench

5. Now tighten the Depth Stop Lock Knob so that the depth stop is locked in its current

position

Pre-setting the cut depths

1. The top of the ﬁxed post now provides an accurate datum, and the depth of cut can be set

by reference to the graduations printed on the side of the ﬁxed post

2. To set a cut depth, rotate the thumbwheel on one of the Turret Stops (9) until the top of the

thumbwheel aligns with the depth of cut required (as shown on the ﬁxed post). For example,

for a cutting depth of 3mm, rotate the thumbwheel until the top is aligned with the 3mm

mark on the ﬁxed post.

3. To pre-set a second depth, repeat the procedure with the second thumbwheel

Plunging to pre-set depth

• Rotate the turret until the thumbwheel at the required depth is positioned beneath the

depth stop

• Now, when you plunge the router, the depth stop will hit the thumbwheel and retain the

router at the precise depth required

Circle cutting

See Fig XI, XII, and XIII

1. Fit the extended base (without 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 necessary adjustments.

5. Cut the circle in several passes, lowering the cut depth by approximately 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

Table-mounted operation

• Fitting and operating this router on a router table should be carried out in accordance with

the literature supplied with the router table.

• 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.

• Router adjustments are made extremely easy using the unique features described earlier

in the manual.

• Refer to ‘Fitting a collet and router bit’ and ‘Adjusting the depth of cut’

• The Table Height Winder (18) engages with the Table-Winder Connection Point (10) for quick

and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted

Maintenance

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,

maintenance or cleaning.

Cleaning

WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when

cleaning this tool.

• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and

shorten the device’s service life

• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth

• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufﬁcient, a mild

detergent on a damp cloth is recommended

• Water must never come into contact with the tool

• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it

• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes (where

applicable)

Lubrication

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

Brush replacement

See Fig XIV

The carbon brushes are a consumable item that should be inspected periodically and replaced

when worn. Failure to do so may result in damage to the motor.

1. With the router disconnect from power, unscrew the Brush Caps (20) located on the front

and rear of the motor

2. Remove the brushes by pulling carefully on the protruding springs

3. If either of the brushes is worn to less than 6mm long, they must both be replaced using

genuine Triton replacement brushes – available from authorised Triton repair centres

• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn

• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking

• After ﬁtting, run the router without load for 2–3 minutes to help the brushes bed in. The

process of the brushes fully bedding in may take repeated uses. Motor sparking may

continue until new carbon brushes have bedded in

• Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised service centre

Power cord replacement

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the

manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Storage

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