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 base (without fence) to the
router.
2. Remove the pivot
mount (18) from the
base and fix it to the
centre of your work
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 say 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 your workpiece. Cut
the circle oversize, then when the cut is all the
way through, reduce the diameter and work
back to the desired size, using light, full depth
passes.

REMOVABLE PLUNGE SPRING
The Plunge Spring can be quickly removed to
reduce effort when adjusting plunge depth while
mounted upside down.
1. Set the router to the top of its plunge range and
engage the plunge lock
lever (15).
2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge
Spring Cap (13) a few turns. Twist the cap
slightly anti-clockwise to remove it.
Hold the cap firmly while releasing tension
from the spring to prevent the cap from
shooting up.
3. Remove the
spring and store in
a safe place.
4. Replace the plunge
spring cap and
re-tighten the screw.
Ensure the plunge spring is re-fitted
when using the router freehand.
OPTIONAL TABLE WINDER ACCESSORY
An optional Table Winder is available for easy,
quick and accurate cut depth adjustments when
mounted in a router table.
This accessory kit (part
no. TGA150) also includes

BRUSH REPLACEMENT
The carbon brushes are a consumable item which
should be inspected periodically and replaced
when worn. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the motor.
1. With the router disconnected from power,
unscrew the Brush Caps (8) located on the front
and rear of the motor.
2. Remove the brushes by pulling carefully on the
protruding springs.
3. If either of the brushes
is worn to less than
6mm long, they must
both be replaced
using genuine Triton
replacement brushes
- available from
Authorised Triton Repair Centres.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
If the supply cord needs replacing, the
task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer’s agent,
or an authorised service centre in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
