Cutting depth adjustment
Note: To lock the router at a particular depth of cut, plunge the router head down and rotate
the Plunge Lock Lever (16) to its lower position. This will hold the router head in this position
• There are three methods of cut depth adjustment, depending on the accuracy and control
required:
Free plunge
1. Free plunge depth adjustments can be made with the Plunge Selection Button (6) engaged.
Press the Plunge Selection Button deep inside the handle until it engages inward (image I)
2. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (16) and push the body of the router until the required depth
is reached. Re-lock the Plunge Lock Lever
Note: The position of the Plunge Lock Lever can be altered by removing its retaining screw and
repositioning the lever on the bolt. Re-tighten firmly.
Winder handle adjustment
1. Plunge depth adjustments can be made by turning the Winder Handle (7)
2. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (6) and ensure that the button is flush with the
Winder Handle (Image J)
3. To release the handle, pull the Winder Handle Clutch Ring (8) inwards
4. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (16) and twist the Winder Handle until the desired depth of
cut is reached. Release the Winder Handle Clutch Ring, and lock the Plunge Lock Lever
Micro Winder
Note: For use in Winder Handle (7) plunge mode only.
1. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (6), and ensure that the Plunge Lock Lever (16) is
unlocked
Note: If the Micro Winder (10) is turned with the Plunge Lock Lever engaged, the Micro Winder
will start clicking and the cut depth will remain unchanged.
2. Turn the Micro Winder clockwise to increase cut depth and anti-clockwise to reduce cut
depth. Adjust the cut depth until the desired height is reached (Image K)
Note:When the end of the depth adjustment range is reached, the Micro Winder will offer
greater resistance and will begin to 'click'.
3. Engage the Plunge Lock Lever, particularly for heavy cuts
Depth stop and turret
1. The Depth Stop (4) and Turret Stops (1) are used to accurately pre-set up to three different
cut depths
2. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock Knob (5) and retract the Depth Stop (4) fully, then retighten
(Image L)
3. Set the turret posts to the required plunge depths using the scales on the stationary turret
post (Image M)
Note: To change turret posts, rotate the entire turret assembly to align with the Depth Stop
(Image N)
4. With the desired cutter installed into the Collet (22), adjust the plunge depth until the tip of
the cutter touches the workpiece
5. Rotate the turret until the fixed turret post is in line with the Depth Stop. Release the stop,
allowing it to spring onto the post, then retighten the Depth Stop Lock Knob. The plunge
depth is now set at zero (Image O)
6. Rotate the Turret Stops until the turret post with the desired plunge depth is aligned with the
Depth Stop
Making a cut
Note: NEVER operate the router freehand without some form of guide. Guidance can be
provided by a bearing guided router bit cutter, the supplied guides, or a straight edge (Image P)
1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure that the
workpiece will not move. Use clamps wherever possible
2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router slowly, keeping the
base plate held flat against the workpiece
4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the left side relative to the cutting
direction (Image Q). Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily
through the material. Be aware that knots, and other variations, will slow the rate of
progress
Note: To avoid 'bit chatter', direct the cut anti-clockwise for external cuts, and clockwise for
Cutter Diameter
internal cuts.
Note: Moving the router too fast can result in a poor quality finish, and overloading of the
Up to 25mm
motor. Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece.
25 - 50mm
Note: Normal operation of a router is to plunge the head after the router has been switched on.
Note:Do not operate the router upside down unless securely mounted in a well-guarded router
50 - 65mm
table (eg. Triton brand).
Over 65mm
Making multiple pass cuts
Use only if burning
1. The Turret Stops (1) allow the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in an operator-
determined number of steps. Each step of the turret can be preset by adjusting the
thumbwheel on the turret post
2. Rotate the Turret Stops so that the Depth Stop will contact the highest pre-set turret post
when the router is plunged. The first pass of the cut can now be made
3. Continue to make passes, rotating the Turret Stops and adjusting the turret post depth for
each pass when necessary until the full depth of cut has been achieved
Circle cutting
1. Fit the Extended Baseplate (24), without the Fence (21) attachment, to the router
2. Remove the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount (19) from the Extended Baseplate and fix it to the
centre of the workpiece, using a small nail or screw, through one of the holes in the pivot
mount (Image R). Leave the pivot mount bolt in position
3. Lower the router and base over the pivot mount and refit the washer and wing-nut (Image
S)
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 (Image T). Do not attempt to cut deeply in one pass
• Through cuts: If cutting all the way through the material, fix a sacrificial board to the
underneath of the workpiece. Cut the circle oversize, then when the cut is all the way
through, reduce the diameter and work back to the required size, using light, full depth
passes
Table-mounted operation
WARNING: When in use with the Triton Workcentre Router Table Module WX7RT001,
the maximum cutter diameter is 50mm (2
specification.
Note: Fitting and operating this router on a router table should be carried out in accordance
with the literature supplied with the router table.
Note: Whilst 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.
Note: The plunge spring MUST be removed before this router is fitted into a router table:
1. Set the router at the top of its plunge range and engage the Plunge Lock Lever (16)
2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge Spring Access Cap (14) a few turns.
3. Holding the Plunge Spring Access Cap firmly so that the spring will not shoot upwards when
released, twist the cap anti-clockwise to remove it (image U)
4. Remove the spring and store in a safe place.
5. Replace the Plunge Spring Access Cap and re-tighten the screw.
Note: Be sure to re-fit the plunge spring before using the router freehand.
The Table Height Winder (25) engages with the Table Height Winder Connection Point (26) for
quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted (image V)
