Accessories; General Inspection; Lubrication - Triton TRA001 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

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 and TWX7RT001.
Note: Router adjustments are extremely easy using the unique features described
earlier in the manual. See 'Collet and cutter installation' and 'Cut Depth Adjustment'.
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 (11)
2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge Spring Access Cap (21) 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 O)
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 (24) engages with the Table Height Winder Connection Point (14)
for quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted
Accessing the baseplate screw threads
1. To mount the router in a third-party router table or a table of your own construction
remove the 4 x screws of the baseplate indicated in Image Q and remove the baseplate
2. There are 2 sets of screw threads as shown in figure II. There are 4 x ¼
UNC screw threads (A) which are used to secure the baseplate as well as
suitable for table mounting plus an alternate set of 3 x M6 threads (B)
Note: The M6 threads are not available on earlier versions of the TRA001 router.

remove the worn brushes (Image P) and ensure the sockets are clean. Carefully
replace with new brushes and then replace the Brush Access Covers
• 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
