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. For a cutting depth of 1/8",
rotate the thumbwheel until the top is aligned with the
1/8" mark on the fixed post.
3. To pre-set a second depth, repeat the procedure with
the second thumbwheel

HAND-HELD OPERATION

• Always use both hands to control the router and ensure
your workpiece is securely clamped to prevent any
movement during operation.
• Never operate the router
freehand without some form
of guidance. Guidance can
be provided by a bearing
guided cutter, the fence
guide supplied or a straight
edge (eg. a batten clamped
to your work as shown
above).
• Always feed against
the direction of
cutter rotation
(clockwise, as
indicated by the
arrows on the router
base).
• Do not operate the router upside down unless securely
mounted in a well guarded router table (eg. Triton
brand)
THE BASE ASSEMBLY
The Extended Baseplate (22) supplied with the Triton
Router provides greater stability when using bearing
guided cutters along an edge.
Place one hand on the long end
GB
of the base, holding it down
onto your work, and grip the
router handle, furthest away,
with your other hand.

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
OPTIONAL TEMPLATE GUIDE BUSHES
An optional guide bush adaptor
with seven different template
guide bushes are available for
template routing.
This accessory kit (part
no.TGA150) is available through
your local Triton retailer.
EXTENDED BASEPLATE AND FENCE
1. To fit the extended baseplate (22) loosen the Mounting
Knobs (18) approximately 10mm (3⁄8") up the coach
bolt.
2. Position the extended
baseplate onto the base of
the router with the heads
of the coach bolts beneath
the keyhole slots in the
baseplate.
NOTE: The router can be
mounted with the long overhang to the left or to the
right depending on where the support is required. For
edge work, locate the power switch on the short overhang
side of the base.
3. Push the Baseplate Mounting Knobs (18) until the bolt
heads locate into the keyholes, then slide the extended
baseplate until the bolts locate against the ends of the
keyhole slots. Tighten the knobs firmly. To fit the Fence
(19) loosen the fence knobs a
few turns and slide the fence
along the tracks on the base.
Lock at the desired setting by
tightening both fence knobs.
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 contact the fence.
