Switching ON & OFF
Note: When the router is connected to the power source, the On/Off
Power Switch (8) will illuminate in both 'On' and 'Off' positions.
Note: The Retracting Power Switch Cover (7) prevents accidental starting of the
router. It must be retracted before the router can be switched on. The Retracting
Power Switch Cover will remain open until the router is switched off.
1. Ensure that the plunge router is at the maximum extension of its travel, and that
the cutter will not conflict with any foreign objects when it is powered on
2. Connect the power cord to the mains, and slide the Retracting Power
Switch Cover back to reveal the On/Off Power Switch
3. Press the On/Off Power Switch in the 'I' position to turn the plunge router ON.
Whilst the On/Off Power Switch is in this position, the Retracting Power Switch
Cover will be prevented from re-covering the On/Off Power Switch
4. To turn OFF, press the On/Off Power Switch in the 'O' position. The
Retracting Power Switch Cover will slide back to its original position
Variable speed control
Note: Router speed settings are not critical. Generally the highest speed that
does not cause burn marks on the workpiece should be used. Where stated,
always follow the cutter manufacturers' maximum speed limitations.
• Operating at reduced speed increases the risk of damage to the router as a
result of overload. Use very slow feed rates and/or multiple shallow cuts.
• The Speed Controller (10) is marked 1 to 5, corresponding approximately with the
speeds and cutter diameters below. Turn the dial to select the required speed

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 (11) 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 (18) engaged.
Press the Plunge Selection Button deep inside the handle until it engages inward (Image A)
2. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (11) and push the body of the router until
the required depth is reached. Re-lock the Plunge Lock Lever
Winder handle adjustment
1. Plunge depth adjustments can be made by turning the Winder Handle (19)
2. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (18), and ensure the
button is flush with the Winder Handle (Image K)
3. To release the Winder Handle, pull the Winder Handle Clutch Ring (17) inwards (Image B)
4. Release the Plunge Lock Lever (11) 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 (19) plunge mode only.
1. Disengage the Plunge Selection Button (18), and ensure
that the Plunge Lock Lever (11) is unlocked
Note: If the Micro Winder (20) 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
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 & turret
1. The Depth Stop (3) 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 (3) fully, then
3. Set the turret posts to the required plunge depths using the
scales on the stationary turret post (Image G)
Note: To change turret posts, rotate the entire turret assembly to align with the Depth Stop.
4. With the desired cutter installed into the Collet (23), 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 on to the post, then re-tighten
the Depth Stop Lock Knob. The plunge depth is now set at zero
6. Rotate the Turret Stops until the turret post with the desired
plunge depth is aligned with the Depth Stop
Optional template guide bushes
Different template guide bushes are available for template routing.
Accessory kits are available through your local Triton retailer.
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 I)
1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure
that the workpiece will not move. Use clamps wherever possible
Cutter Diameter
2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router
Up to 25mm (1")
slowly, keeping the baseplate held flat against the workpiece
4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the left side
25-50mm (1"- 2")
relative to the cutting direction, (fig I). Keep the pressure constant and
50-65mm (2"- 2 ⁄ ") allow the cutter to work steadily through the material. Be aware that knots,

2 Note: To avoid 'bit chatter', direct the cut anti-clockwise for
external cuts, and clockwise for internal cuts.
Use only if burning
Note: Moving the router too fast can result in a poor quality finish, and overloading of
the motor. Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece.
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 table (eg. Triton brand).
Making multiple pass cuts
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 pre-set 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 (27), without the Fence (22) attachment, to the router
2. Remove the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount (26) 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 M). Leave the pivot mount bolt in position
3. Lower the router and base over the pivot mount and refit the
washer and
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
Table-mounted operation
WARNING: When in use with the Triton Workcentre Router Table Module TWX7RT001,
the maximum cutter Dia. Is 50mm. This is constrained by the Workcentre 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.
