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).
HAND-HELD OPERATION
• Always use both hands to control the router and ensure
your 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 your
work as shown above).
• Always feed against the
direction of
cutter rotation
GB
(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)
Functions / Hand-Held Operation
8
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 BUSHES
An optional guide bush adaptor
with seven different template
guide bushes are available for
template routing.
This accessory kit (part
no.TGA150) also includes a Chip
Collector and Table Winder, and
is available through your local
Triton retailer.
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.
