• Always use both hands to control the router and ensure
the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent any
movement during operation.
• Never operate the router
free-hand without some form
of guidance. Guidance can
be provided by a bearing
guided cutter, the fence
guide supplied, or a straight
edge (eg. a batten clamped
to the workpiece as shown
above).
• Always feed
against the
direction of
cutter rotation
(clockwise, as
indicated by the arrows
on the router base).
• Do not operate the router upside down unless securely
mounted in a well-guarded router table (eg. Triton
brand)
THE BASE ASSEMBLY
The Extended Baseplate (23) supplied with the Triton
Router provides greater stability when using bearing
guided cutters along an edge.
Place one hand on the long end
of the base, holding it down
onto the workpiece, and grip the
router handle furthest away with
your other hand.
EXTENDED BASEPLATE AND FENCE
1. To fit the Extended Baseplate (23) loosen the Baseplate
Mounting Knobs (19) approximately 10mm (3⁄8") up the
coach bolt.
2. Position the extended
baseplate onto the base of
the router with the heads
of the coach bolts beneath
the keyhole slots in the
baseplate. The router can
be mounted with the long
DEPTH STOP & TURRET
The Depth Stop (7) and Turret Stops (10) are used in free
plunge mode to accurately preset up to three different cut
depths.
1. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock
Knob (6) and retract the
Depth Stop (7) fully, then
re-tighten.
2. Set the turret thumbwheel(s)
to the required plunge
depth(s) using the scales on
the turret post.
3. Fit the cutter, and adjust the
plunge depth until the cutter
tip is level with your ‘zero
datum’ (eg. router base or
router table surface).
4. Rotate the turret until the
fixed turret post is in line
with the depth stop. Release
the stop, allowing it to
spring onto the post, then
re-tighten.
5. Rotate the turret again
until the bolt of the chosen
thumbwheel is in line with
the stop. Plunge until the hollow depth stop locates over
the bolt and hits the thumbwheel. Engage the Plunge
Lock Lever (15).
The plunge depth must be reduced before the turret can
be rotated to another stop position.
This is achieved by setting all three stops by sight, rather
than using the turret scale.
OPTIONAL TEMPLATE GUIDE KIT
An optional template guide kit
is available from your Triton
retailer.
