Note: To change turret posts, rotate the entire turret assembly to align with the Depth Stop.

4. With the desired cutter installed into the Collet (24), adjust the plunge depth until the tip of

the cutter touches the workpiece

5. Rotate the turret until the fixed turret post is in line with the Depth Stop. Release the stop,

allowing it to spring on to the post, then re-tighten the Depth Stop Lock Knob. The plunge

depth is now set at zero

6. Rotate the Turret Stops until the turret post with the desired plunge depth is aligned with

the Depth Stop

Optional template guide bushes

Different template guide bushes are available for template routing. Accessory kits are available

through your local Triton retailer.

Making a cut

Note: NEVER operate the router freehand without some form of guide. Guidance can be

provided by a bearing guided router bit cutter, the supplied guides, or a straight edge (Image I).

1. ALWAYS hold the router using both hands, on the handles provided. Ensure that the

workpiece will not move. Use clamps wherever possible

2. Allow the motor to reach its full operating speed

3. Lower the router bit cutter into the workpiece whilst moving the router slowly, keeping the

baseplate held flat against the workpiece

4. If edge cutting, the cutting of the workpiece should be on the left side relative to the

cutting direction, (Fig I). Keep the pressure constant and allow the cutter to work

steadily through the material. Be aware that knots, and other variations, will slow

the rate of progress

Note: To avoid 'bit chatter', direct the cut anti-clockwise for external cuts, and clockwise for

internal cuts.

Note: Moving the router too fast can result in a poor quality finish, and overloading of the

motor. Moving the router too slowly can result in overheating the workpiece.

Note: Normal operation of a router is to plunge the head after the router has been switched on.

Note: Do not operate the router upside down unless securely mounted in a well-guarded router

table (e.g. Triton brand).

Making multiple pass cuts

1. The Turret Stops (1) allow the maximum depth of cut to be achieved in an operator-

determined number of steps. Each step of the turret can be pre-set by adjusting the

thumbwheel on the turret post

2. Rotate the Turret Stops so that the Depth Stop (3) will contact the highest pre-set turret

post when the router is plunged. The first pass of the cut can now be made

3. Continue to make passes, rotating the Turret Stops and adjusting the turret post depth for

each pass when necessary until the full depth of cut has been achieved

Circle Cutting

1. Fit the Extended Baseplate (28), without the Fence (23) attachment, to the router

2. Remove the Circle Cutting Pivot Mount (27) from the Extended Baseplate and fix it to the

centre of the workpiece, using a small nail or screw, through one of the holes in the pivot

mount, (Image M). Leave the pivot mount bolt in position

3. Lower the router and base over the pivot mount and refit the washer and wing-nut,

(Image N)

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 (3/32")

each pass, (Image N). 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

WARNING: When in use with the Triton Workcentre Router Table Module TWX7RT001,

the maximum cutter dia. is 50mm (2"). This is constrained by the Workcentre specification.

Note: Fitting and operating this router on a router table should be carried

out in accordance with the literature supplied with the router table.

Note: 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 and TWX7RT001.

Note: Router adjustments are extremely easy using the unique features described earlier

in the manual. See 'Collet and cutter installation' and 'Cutting depth adjustment'.

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 (11)

2. Loosen the small screw next to the Plunge Spring Access Cap (21) a few turns (Image O)

3. Using the palm of your hand, apply downward pressure on the Plunge Spring Access Cap

and grip the Plunge Spring Access Cap firmly with your other hand to prevent the plunge

spring from shooting upwards when released. Whilst maintaining the downward pressure

and a firm grip, twist the Plunge Spring Access Cap anti-clockwise to remove it (Image P)

WARNING: The plunge spring is tensioned with great force to enable a smooth

plunging action. The Plunge Spring Access Cap and plunge spring will shoot up quickly

with the same force once it has been unscrewed. Be careful not to release the Plunge

Spring Access Cap in an uncontrolled manor, which could cause personal injury.

4. Slowly allow the Plunge Spring Access Cap to raise upwards once released (Image Q)

5. Remove the spring and store in a safe place

6. Replace the Plunge Spring Access Cap and re-tighten the screw

WARNING: When re-inserting the plunge spring, carefully check that the

Plunge Spring Access Cap is correctly fastened. It should sit parallel with the

body of the tool with no visible gap, and the securing screw should be correctly

located to prevent the Plunge Spring Access Cap from accidently unscrewing.

NOTE: Be sure to re-fit the plunge spring before using the router freehand.

IMPORTANT: Before mounting the router under the router table, make sure the Depth Stop

Lock Knob (5) is loosened and the Plunge Lock Lever (11) is in the unlocked position.

The Table Height Winder (25) engages with the Table Height Winder Connection Point (14)

for quick and easy above-the-table height adjustment when the router is table-mounted

Installing the No Voltage Release bypass key:

The TRA001 router has a No Voltage Release (NVR) function which prevents the motor from

automatically restarting after a power interruption. To reset the tool, the switch must be

returned to the OFF position before switching back ON. When used with the TWX7 Workcentre

(with TWX7RT001 Router Table) or a 3rd party router table, which has its own NVR protection,

this function can be bypassed by inserting the NVR Bypass Key (29). Thereby enabling the ON/

OFF operation of the tool to be controlled by the ON/OFF switch on the router table.

1. Screw the NVR Bypass Key into the NVR Bypass Key Connection (22) and gently hand

tighten (image T)

2. Secure the bracket to the underside of the work centre (Image U)

3. Switch the router ON and use the router table ON/OFF switch to control the router

WARNING: ONLY use the NVR Bypass Key when the router is connected to a power source

that is itself protected by a No Voltage Release protection system, such as the Triton TWX7

Workcentre. ALWAYS ensure the bracket is connected to the router table to avoid accidentally

removing the router without removing the Bypass Key.

Accessing the baseplate screw threads

1. To mount the router in a third-party router table or a table of your own construction

remove the 4 x screws of the baseplate indicated in Image S and remove the baseplate

2. There are 2 sets of screw threads as shown in fig. II. There are 4 x ¼ UNC screw threads

(A) which are used to secure the baseplate as well as suitable for table mounting plus an

alternate set of 3 x M6 threads (B)

Note: The M6 threads are not available on earlier versions of the TRA001 router.
