THE BASE ASSEMBLY
The Extended Baseplate (24) 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 your
work, and grip the router
handle, furthest away,
with your other hand.
Extended Baseplate and Fence
1. To fit the extended baseplate (24) loosen the
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 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 mounting knobs (19) 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 desired 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.
The Speed Controller
(14) is marked 1 to
5, corresponding
approximately with
the speeds and cutter
diameters below. Turn
the dial to select the
desired speed.
DUST EXTRACTION
Dust Port
The Triton Router is equipped with a Dust Port
(20) for chip extraction above the cut. It accepts
38mm (1½") O.D. hose, supplied with the Triton
Dust Collector (DCA300).
The hose screws into position via a left hand
thread (anti-clockwise).
Optional chip
collector accessory
An optional Chip Collector
is available for effective
chip extraction alongside
the cut zone. It can be
connected to any
38mm (1½") O.D. hose.
This accessory kit (part no. TGA150) also includes
7 Template Guide Bushes and Table Winder, and is
available through your local Triton retailer.
DEPTH STOP & TURRET
The Depth Stop (7) and Turret (10) are used in the
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 desired 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.
