•
When edge routing or trimming on the outside edge, ensure the workpiece is to
the left of the cutter (B and C on Fig. XIII) and work in an anticlockwise direction
(Figs XIV, XV, XVI, XVIII, XIX, XX)
•
When routing internal edges, ensure the edge to be cut is to the left of the cutter
and work around the internal shape (D on Fig. XIII) in a clockwise direction
•
If cutting all the way through the material, fix a sacrificial board to the underside of
the workpiece
•
When edge cutting natural timbers, always pass along the end grain first, then by
the long grain. If splintering or breakout occurs, this will be remedied when
passing down the long grain
•
Do not operate the Router upside down unless securely mounted in a well-
guarded router table
•
If a deep cut is required for a plunge cut, do not make the full depth for the first
pass. Instead, make more passes with a shallower depth of cut and adjust the
cutting depth gradually in smaller increments. The Depth Stop (30) and Depth
Turret (31) can be used for changing depths to pre-set 5mm increments
Routing with the roller guide
•
Use the Timmer Base (8) and Roller Guide (7) for routing edges with router bits
without a guide bearing or pilot
•
Ensure the Router (1) is installed in the Trimmer Base with the Roller Guide (see
'Fitting to trimmer base' and 'Fitting & adjusting the roller guide')
•
Ensure the depth of cut is set as required (see 'Setting the depth of cut with the
trimmer base')
1)
Power the Router ON then guide the Router from the side toward the workpiece
until the Guide Bearing (40) contacts the edge of the workpiece (Figs XVI à XVII)
2)
Guide the Router along the workpiece's edge, ensuring the base rests on the
workpiece at the correct angle
IMPORTANT: When using the Trimmer Base (8) with the Roller Guide (7), adjust the
Guide Bearing (40) (Fig. XVII) with enough vertical clearance from the cutter and
consider cutter's diameter when setting the horizontal axis so the Guide Bearing can
guide the cutter along the edge of the workpiece.
Shaping or moulding
•
If shaping or moulding without a parallel guide (Guide Fence (6) or batten), a
router bit with a guide bearing or pilot must be used (Figs XIV à XV)
•
Ensure the depth of cut is set as required (see 'Before Use' sections pertaining to
setting the depth of cut)
1)
Power the Router (1) ON then guide the Router from the side toward the
workpiece until the guide bearing on the Router Bit (not supplied) (48) contacts the
edge of the workpiece
2)
Guide the Router along the workpiece's edge, ensuring the base rests on the
workpiece at the correct angle
IMPORTANT: Excessive pressure could damage the workpiece.
Note: To prevent edge burn, clamp a sacrificial piece of material of the same thickness
as the workpiece before and after the workpiece. Start the cutting on the first sacrificial
piece, guide along onto the workpiece then beyond to finish on the other sacrificial
piece. Doing this will prevent beginning burn and end burn on the workpiece.
Routing with a parallel guide or guide fence
•
Use the Guide Fence (6) assembled in configuration A or B (Fig. VI), fastened to
the Plunge Base (9) (see 'Fitting & adjusting the guide fence'), for edge-parallel
cuts or batten-parallel cuts (Figs XIX and XX)
•
Ensure the depth of cut is set as required (see 'Before Use' sections pertaining to
setting the depth of cut)
•
Adjust to required distance from the Guide Fence to the cutter
•
Power the Router (1) ON then guide the Router with a controlled feed and lateral
pressure along the workpiece's edge
Routing with a batten guide
See Fig. XVIII
•
A batten guide can be used when clamped on top of the workpiece (see Fig. XXIV
for distances to the edge of the bases from the centre of the cutter as an
approximate guide)
•
The Guide Fence (6) in configuration B (Fig. VI) can be used with the batten
(Fig. XX)
•
It is recommended that a test cut be performed on scrap material prior to
using the workpiece
Freehand routing
See Fig. XXI
•
The Router (1) can be used for creative freehand or signwriting work without the
use of a guide
tritontools.com
•
Practise on scrap material before working on the workpiece
•
Draw the design on the workpiece then router the design using shallow passes
Template & guide bush routing
See Fig. XXII and XXIII
•
See 'Fitting a guide bush for use with templates & jigs'
•
Template patterns (Fig. XXII (a)) are used with a Guide Bush (not supplied) (49) to
allow the Router (1) to carve a pattern in the workpiece (Fig. XXII (b)) and are
used for consistent, repeatable shapes
•
When using a template and Guide Bush, the cut on the final workpiece will differ
from the space in the template, and the Offset (Fig. XXIII (c)) of the Guide Bush
must be considered prior to cutting
•
To work out the Offset, use this formula: Offset = Guide Bush outer diameter -
Router Bit (48) diameter
•
Template patterns and jigs can be made out of a variety of materials such as
hardboard, plywood, plastic or metal
Table-mounted operation
•
Fitting and operating this router on a compatible router table should be carried out
in accordance with the instructions supplied with the router table
•
Ensure the Router (1) is fitted to the Plunge Base (9) if using in a compatible
router table
•
A Triton Table Height Winder engages with the Table Height Micro Winder
Connector (32) for quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the
router is table mounted, and there is an access hole for the Height Winder
Accessories
•
A full range of accessories, including router bits and guide bushes, is available
from your Triton stockist
•
Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
•
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
•
Prior to each use, inspect the supply cord of the tool for signs of damage or wear.
Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Triton service centre. This advice
also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
•
Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear
quickly and shorten the tool's service life
•
Clean the body of the tool with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean,
dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
•
Clean the tool casing with a soft, damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use
alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents
•
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Lubrication
•
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade
lubricant for the life of the unit under normal conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required
Brushes
•
Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
•
Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible
sparking
To replace the brushes (Fig. XXV):
1)
Loosen the Brush Access Covers (12) with a flat tip screwdriver
2)
Use the screwdriver to retrieve the brushes
3)
Replace both brushes by aligning the rectangular shape of the brush with the slot
then inserting
4)
Replace the Brush Access Covers and tighten with a flat tip screwdriver
Note: There may be some sparking after installing new brushes until the brushes have
been bedded. This should happen normally with short bursts of regular use.
