Triton TRA001 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité page 14

1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles
provided. Ensure that the workpiece will not move. Use clamps
wherever possible.
2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed.
3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving
the router slowly, keeping the baseplate held flat against the
workpiece.
4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on
the left side relative to the cutting direction, (Fig I). Keep the
pressure constant and allow the cutter to work steadily through
the material. Be aware that knots, and other variations, will slow
the rate of progress.
Note: To avoid 'bit chatter' , direct the cut anti-clockwise for external
cuts, and clockwise for internal cuts.
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 (e.g. 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 (3) 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 (28), without the Fence (23)
attachment, to the router.
2. Remove the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount (27) 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 wing-nut, (Image N).
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 ⁄ " each pass, (Image N). Do not attempt to cut
3
3 2
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
EN
depth passes.

Table-mounted operation
WARNING: When in use with the Triton Workcentre
Router Table Module TWX7RT001, the maximum cutter dia.
is 2". 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.
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 TWX7RT001.
Note: Router adjustments are extremely easy using the
unique features described earlier in the manual. See 'Collet
and cutter installation' and 'Cutting depth adjustment' .
IMPORTANT: 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 (Image O).
3. Using the palm of your hand, apply downward pressure on the
Plunge Spring Access Cap and grip the Plunge Spring Access
Cap firmly with your other hand to prevent the plunge spring
from shooting upwards when released. Whilst maintaining the
downward pressure and a firm grip, twist the Plunge Spring
Access Cap anti-clockwise to remove it (Image P).
WARNING: The plunge spring is tensioned with great force to
enable a smooth plunging action. The Plunge Spring Access Cap and
plunge spring will shoot up quickly with the same force once it has
been unscrewed. Be careful not to release the Plunge Spring Access
Cap in an uncontrolled manor, which could cause personal injury.
4. Slowly allow the Plunge Spring Access Cap to raise upwards once
released (Image Q).
5. Remove the spring and store in a safe place.
6. Replace the Plunge Spring Access Cap and re-tighten the screw.
WARNING: When re-inserting the plunge spring, carefully
check that the Plunge Spring Access Cap is correctly fastened. 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.
NOTE: Be sure to re-fit the plunge spring before using the router
freehand.
IMPORTANT: Before mounting the router under the router table,
make sure the Depth Stop Lock Knob (5) is loosened and the Plunge
Lock Lever (11) is in the unlocked position.
• The Table Height Winder (25) engages with the Table Height
Winder Connection Point (14) for quick and easy above-the-table
height adjustment when the router is table-mounted.
