y) Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool remain
clear to read and are replaced if marked or damaged
z) When operating the router, be prepared for the router bit cutter stalling in
the workpiece and causing loss of control. Always ensure the router is firmly
held and the on/off switch is immediately released in such circumstances
• After switching on the router, check the router bit is rotating evenly
(not 'wobbling') and there is no additional vibration due to the router
bit being incorrectly fitted. Operating the router with an incorrectly
fitted router bit can lead to loss of control and severe injury
• EXTREME care must be taken when using cutters with a
diameter greater than 2" (50mm). Use very slow feed rates and/
or multiple shallow cuts to avoid overloading the motor
• ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a complete
standstill before removing the machine from the workpiece
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic. Some materials may
be chemically treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite
materials may contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and other
chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to dust generated from operating a router. DO
NOT allow dust to get onto skin or eyes and do not allow the dust to enter your mouth
to prevent absorption of harmful chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated
area. Use a suitable dust mask and dust extraction system where possible. Where
there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is more critical that all safety precautions
are followed and a higher level of personal

Intended Use

Hand-held precision plunge router for use with shank router bits up to ½" and
12mm (depending on the collet installed). Used for cutting profiles, grooves,
edges and elongated holes in natural and composite wood. Also used with
guide bushes and templates for cutting shapes, following patterns, as well as
for stationary installation in compatible router

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your new plunge router. 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

Before Use

WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before
attaching or changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Collet & cutter installation
Note: Wear protective gloves when inserting and removing
router bits due to the sharp edges of the cutters.
1. Place the router upside down on a secure flat surface, with the motor
completely stationary and the power cable removed from the mains
2. Plunge the router to its maximum depth by pressing the Winder Handle
Clutch Ring (17) (Image B) inwards, and turning the Winder Handle
(19) clockwise until the Collet (23) is protruding the base
Note: Ensure the Depth Stop (3) is fully retracted (see 'Depth stop and turret'). The
Collet should be protruding through the base, allowing easy spanner access.
3. Using the Spanner (25) provided, loosen the Collet by
turning it anti-clockwise until removal
4. Select the desired Collet, and install into the Chuck (2) by screwing the Collet in clockwise
5. Insert the router cutter into the Collet ensuring that at least 20mm or half
of the shaft (whichever is greater) is inserted into the Collet, then use the
Spanner to turn the Collet slightly, allowing the collet lock to engage (Image
C). Once engaged, turn the spanner clockwise to tighten the cutter
6. Return the router to a normal operating depth. This will disengage the collet lock and
release the retracting switch shutter, enabling access to the On/Off Power Switch (8)
Dust extraction port
Note: The Triton Router is equipped with a Dust Extraction Port (15) for
chip extraction above the cut. The Dust Extraction Port accepts 38mm
(1½") O.D. hose, supplied with the Triton Dust Collector (DCA300).
• The dust extraction hose screws into position via a left hand th
read (anti-clockwise) (Image D)
Optional chip collector accessory
• An optional Dust Chute for effective chip extraction alongside the
cut zone is available through your local Triton retailer. It can be
connected to any 38mm (1-½") O.D.
Extended baseplate & fence installation
1. Locate the two Baseplate Mounting Knobs (13) and loosen them completely. This permits
the mounting studs to engage the router securing holes on the Extended Baseplate (27)
2. Turn both the plunge router and the Extended Baseplate upside down
3. Press the Baseplate Mounting Knobs on the plunge router
inwards, to expose the mounting studs
4. Align the mounting studs with the router securing holes on the
Extended Baseplate, and slide into the keyhole slots (Image K).
Note: The orientation of the Extended Baseplate depends on where the support is required.
For edge work, locate the On/Off Power Switch (8) on the short overhang side of the base
5. Tighten the Baseplate Mounting Knobs on the plunge router firmly
to secure the plunge router to the Extended Baseplate
6. To fit the Fence (22) loosen the fence knobs, and slide the Fence along the tracks on the
Extended Baseplate (Image L). Lock at the required setting by tightening both fence knobs
Note:When routing trenches at distance from an edge, fit the
Fence to the long end of the Extended Baseplate.
Note: When performing edge work with a non-bearing guided cutter,
fit the Fence to the short end of the baseplate (Image J)
Note: 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.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing
protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
