overhang to the left or to the right depending on where
the support is required. For edge work, locate the power
switch on the short overhang side of the base.
3. Push the baseplate mounting knobs until the bolt
heads locate into the keyholes, then slide the extended
baseplate until the bolts locate against the ends of the
keyhole slots. Tighten the knobs firmly.
4. To fit the Fence (20) loosen the fence knobs a few turns
and slide the fence along
the tracks on the base. Lock
at the required setting by
tightening both fence knobs.
When routing trenches some
distance in from an edge, fit
the fence to the long end of
the base.
When performing edge work
with a non-bearing guided
cutter, fit the fence to the
short end of the base.
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.
Circle Cutting
1. Fit the Extended Baseplate
(23), without fence, to the
router.
2. Remove the Circle Cutting
Pivot Mount (18) from the
base and fix it to the centre
of the workpiece, using a
small nail or screw, through
one of the holes in the pivot mount. Leave the pivot
mount bolt in position.
3. Lower the router and base
over the pivot mount and refit
the washer and wing-nut.
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
2mm ( 1 ⁄
13
") each pass. Do
not attempt to cut 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 depth passes.
TABLE MOUNTED OPERATION
• Fitting and operating this router on a router table should
be carried out in accordance with the literature supplied
with the router table.
• 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.
• Router adjustments are extremely easy using the unique
features described earlier in the manual. See ‘Fitting &
Changing Cutters’ and ‘Cut Depth Adjustment’.
REMOVING THE PLUNGE SPRING
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 (15).
2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge Spring
Access Cap (13) 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.
4. Remove the spring and store
in a safe place.
5. Replace the plunge spring
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 (25) for quick and
easy above-the-table height
adjustment when the router
is table-mounted.
