Triton TRA001 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité page 12

Intended Use
Hand-held precision plunge router used for cutting profiles,
grooves, edges and elongated holes in natural and composite
wood. Also used with guide bushes and templates for cutting
shapes and following patterns. Suitable for stationary installation
in the Triton Router Table for the Triton Workcentre, and other
suitable table systems.
Not for commercial use.
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other
than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case
of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the
tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
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.
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power
supply before attaching or changing any accessories, or making
any adjustments.
WARNING: Periodically, during prolonged use or when the
router has been transported or dropped, check the Plunge Spring
Access Cap (21) is correctly located and secured in place. It should
sit parallel with the body of the tool with no visible gap, and the
securing screw should be correctly located to prevent the Plunge
Spring Access Cap from accidently unscrewing, see Image O. The
plunge spring is tensioned with sufficient force to cause serious
injury if released in an uncontrolled manor. Always follow the
instructions carefully when removing and replacing the plunge
spring.
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 (6) 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 (24) is
protruding from beneath 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 (26) provided, loosen the Collet by
turning it anti-clockwise until loose enough to remove.

4. Select the desired Collet, and install into the
Chuck (2) by screwing the Collet clockwise.
5. Insert the router cutter into the Collet ensuring that at least
20mm (13/16") 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
1 ⁄ " O.D. hose, supplied with the Triton Dust Collector (DCA300).

• The dust extraction hose screws into position via a left-hand
thread (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 1 ⁄ " O.D. hose (Image E).

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 (28).
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 (23) 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.
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.
