WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level
exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If
sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly
tted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the
level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss
of sense of touch, numbness,tingling and reduced ability to grip.
Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition.If necessary,
limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration
gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal
comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect.
Use the gures provided in the specication relating to vibration to
calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specication are determined
according to international standards. The gures represent normal
use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled,or misused tool, may produce increased
levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides
information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that
may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods
of time.
The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used. There is the need to identify
safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when
the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached
to the tool before use. Keep these instructions with the product for
future reference. Ensure all persons who use this product are fully
acquainted with this manual.
Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all
residual risk factors. Use with caution. If you are at all unsure of the
correct and safe manner in which to use this tool, do not attempt

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON
and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety for Routers
WARNING:
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be
supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.

a) Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield,
ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including
safety gloves
b) Cloths, cord, string etc should never be left around the
work area
c) Ensure the mains supply voltage is the same as the tool
rating plate voltage
d) Ensure any cable extensions used with this tool are in
a safe electrical condition, and have the correct ampere
rating for the tool
e) Completely unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating
f) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility cables or
pipes are below the surface of the work area. Consult utility
companies for assistance if necessary. Contact with electric
cables can lead to electric shock and re. Damaging a gas pipe
can lead to explosion. Contact with water lines can lead to major
property damage
g) Ensure embedded objects such as nails and screws have
been removed from the workpiece before commencing
operation
h) Handle router bits with care as they can be extremely sharp
i) Before use, check the bit carefully for signs of damage or
cracks. Replace damaged or cracked bits immediately
j) Ensure router cutters/bits are sharp and maintained
correctly. Dull cutting edges can lead to uncontrolled situations
including stalling, increased heat and possible injury
k) ALWAYS use both handles and maintain a rm grip on the
router before proceeding with any work
l) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of
oil and grease to ensure the tool can be securely held in
use
m) Before using the tool to make a cut, switch on and let it run
for a while. Vibration could indicate an improperly installed bit
n) Take notice of the direction of rotation of the bit and the
direction of feed
o) Keep your hands away from the routing area and router
bit cutter. Hold the auxiliary handle or an insulated gripping
surface with your second hand
p) NEVER start the router while the cutter is touching the
workpiece
q) Ensure the plunge spring is always tted when using hand-
held
r) Ensure the cutter has completely stopped before plunging
to the collet lock position
s) The maximum speed of the router bit/cutter must be at
least as high as the maximum speed of the power tool
t) Parts of the router bits may become hot during operation.
Do not handle immediately after use to avoid risk of burns
u) Do not allow parts to come into contact with combustible
materials
v) The shank size of the router cutter/bit must be matched
to the exact same size collet tted to the router. Incorrectly
tted router cutter/bits will rotate irregularly and have increased
vibration that could lead to loss of control
w) DO NOT press the spindle lock button, or attempt to switch
the tool into bit change mode while the router is operating
x) Keep pressure constant while cutting into the workpiece,
allowing the router bit cutter to dictate the speed of cut. DO
NOTforce the tool and overload the motor
y) Ensure rating labels and safety warnings on the tool
remain clear to read and are replaced if marked or
damaged
z) When operating the router, be prepared for the router bit
cutter stalling in the workpiece and causing loss of control.
Always ensure the router is rmly held and the on/off switch is
immediately released in such circumstances
• After switching on the router, check the router bit is
rotating evenly (not ‘wobbling’) and there is no additional
vibration due to the router bit being incorrectly tted.
Operating the router with an incorrectly tted router bit can lead
to loss of control and severe injury
• EXTREME care must be taken when using cutters with a
diameter greater than 2"(50mm). Use very slow feed rates
and/or multiple shallow cuts to avoid overloading the motor
• ALWAYS switch off and wait until the bit has come to a
complete standstill before removing the machine from the
workpiece
• Disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic.
Some materials may be chemically treated or coated and be a
toxic hazard.Some natural and composite materials may contain
toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and other
chemicals.Avoid prolonged exposure to dust generated from
operating a router. DO NOT allow dust to get onto skin or eyes and
do not allow the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption
of harmful chemicals. Where possible, work in a well-ventilated
area. Use a suitable dust mask and dust extraction system where
possible.Where there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is more
critical that all safety precautions are followed and a higher level of
personal protection is used.

3. Disengage the Depth Stop Lock (29) to release the Depth Stop
4. Plunge the Router down until the tip of the Router Bit touches
the at surface
5. Engage the Depth Stop Lock so the Depth Stop is locked in its
current position
Adjusting the depth turret:
• The Depth Turret (31) allows 3 different plunge depths to be
congured for fast switching during use: 5mm, 10mm and
15mm (3⁄64 x 25⁄64 x 19⁄32")
• This can speed up operations or allow a 3-cut approach to
reaching the nal required depth of cut
• Using the Depth Turret is particularly important when the
workpiece is more difcult to cut, i.e. harder wood or when a
better nish is required
• If the Depth Turret becomes loose, tighten the screw in the
centre
1. After zeroing the router (see “Zeroing the router”), the secured
Depth Stop (30) now provides an accurate datum and the depth
of cut can be set by reference to the graduations etched into the
face of each depth on the Depth Turret (31) (Fig. IV)
2. Rotate the Depth Turret to the required depth
Custom depth using the depth stop
• The scale on the face of the Depth Stop (30) can be used to
make adjustments to the Depth Stop after the router has been
zeroed (see “Zeroing the router”)
1. After zeroing the router on one of the turret stops, plunge the
router to the zero depth and ensure the Plunge Lock Lever (24)
is engaged
2. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock and raise the Depth Stop to
required depth then retighten the Depth Stop Lock to set the
new plunge depth
Notes:
• The exact depth required for a particular task, such as a hinge
leaf, can be achieved by placing the object/material of required
plunge depth between the Depth Stop and the Depth Turret
before locking the Depth Stop Lock. The plunge will now be the
precise depth required for the object/material
• The gap between the end of the Depth Stop and the Turret Stop
(31) will be the plunge depth
• The scale on the Depth Stop can be used to check changes in
depth setting,but the actual cutting depth is best measured by
making a trial cut on scrap material.The scale should be used as
an approximate guide
Fitting a guide bush for use with templates & jigs
See Fig.V
• An optional template guide bush kit is available for purchase
from your Triton stockist
1. To install a Guide Bush (not supplied) (49), loosen the Guide
Bush Locking Screws (33) and ensure the rotating tabs are
rotated away from the guide bush
2. Line the notches on the Guide Bush with the Guide Bush
Locking Screws so that the guide bush sits centre and ush
against the Plunge Base Plate (27)
3. Rotate the tabs on the Guide Bush Locking Screws over the
notches on the Guide Bush then tighten the screws to secure
the Guide Bush
4. To remove the Guide Bush, loosen the screws, rotate the tabs
then remove the Guide Bush before retightening the Guide
Bush Locking Screws

IMPORTANT: Operating at reduced speed increases the risk of
damage to the Router (1) as a result of overload. Use very slow feed
rates and/or multiple shallow cuts.
Hand-held operation
WARNING: To minimise the risk of kickback, the direction of
routing must always be in opposition to the cutter’s rotational
direction.
Notes:
• Ensure all PPE/safety equipment is used when operating this
tool
• Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent any
movement during operation
• Hold the Router (1) rmly using both hands to control the
Router and keep an even pressure and movement when cutting
• The cutter rotates in a clockwise direction (A on Fig. XIII)
• When edge routing or trimming on the outside edge,ensure
the workpiece is to the left of the cutter (B and C on Fig. XIII) and
work in an anticlockwise direction
(Figs XIV, XV, XVI, XVIII, XIX, XX)
• When routing internal edges,ensure the edge to be cut is to the
left of the cutter and work around the internal shape
(D on Fig. XIII) in a clockwise direction
• If cutting all the way through the material, x a sacricial board
to the underside of the workpiece
• When edge cutting natural timbers, always pass along the end
grain rst, then by the long grain. If splintering or breakout
occurs, this will be remedied when passing down the long grain
• Do not operate the Router upside down unless securely
mounted in a well-guarded router table
• If a deep cut is required for a plunge cut, do not make the
full depth for the rst pass. Instead, make more passes with a
shallower depth of cut and adjust the cutting depth gradually
in smaller increments. The Depth Stop (30) and Depth Turret
(31) can be used for changing depths to pre-set 5mm (3⁄64")
increments
Routing with the roller guide
• Use the Timmer Base (8) and Roller Guide (7) for routing edges
with router bits without a guide bearing or pilot
• Ensure the Router (1) is installed in the Trimmer Base with
the Roller Guide (see ‘Fitting to trimmer base’ and ‘Fitting &
adjusting the roller guide’)
• Ensure the depth of cut is set as required (see ‘Setting the depth
of cut with the trimmer base’)
1. Power the Router ON then guide the Router from the side
toward the workpiece until the Guide Bearing (40) contacts the
edge of the workpiece (Figs XVI XVII)
2. Guide the Router along the workpiece’s edge, ensuring the base
rests on the workpiece at the correct angle
IMPORTANT: When using the Trimmer Base (8) with the Roller
Guide (7), adjust the Guide Bearing (40) (Fig. XVII) with enough
vertical clearance from the cutter and consider cutter’s diameter
when setting the horizontal axis so the Guide Bearing can guide
the cutter along the edge of the workpiece.
Shaping or moulding
• If shaping or moulding without a parallel guide (Guide Fence
(6) or batten), a router bit with a guide bearing or pilot must be
used (Figs XIV XV)
• Ensure the depth of cut is set as required (see ‘Before Use’
sections pertaining to setting the depth of cut)
1. Power the Router (1) ON then guide the Router from the side
toward the workpiece until the guide bearing on the Router Bit
(not supplied) (48) contacts the edge of the workpiece
2. Guide the Router along the workpiece’s edge, ensuring the base
rests on the workpiece at the correct angle
IMPORTANT: Excessive pressure could damage the workpiece.
Note: To prevent edge burn, clamp a sacricial piece of material
of the same thickness as the workpiece before and after the
workpiece. Start the cutting on the rst sacricial piece, guide
along onto the workpiece then beyond to nish on the other
sacricial piece. Doing this will prevent beginning burn and end
burn on the workpiece.
Routing with a parallel guide or guide fence
• Use the Guide Fence (6) assembled in conguration A or B
(Fig. VI), fastened to the Plunge Base (9) (see ‘Fitting & adjusting
the guide fence’), for edge-parallel cuts or batten-parallel cuts
(Figs XIX and XX)
• Ensure the depth of cut is set as required (see ‘Before Use’
sections pertaining to setting the depth of cut)
1. Adjust to required distance from the Guide Fence to the cutter
2. Power the Router (1) ON then guide the Router with a controlled
feed and lateral pressure along the workpiece’s edge
Routing with a batten guide
See Fig.XVIII
• A batten guide can be used when clamped on top of the
workpiece (see Fig. XXIV for distances to the edge of the bases
from the centre of the cutter as an approximate guide)
• The Guide Fence (6) in conguration B (Fig. VI) can be used with
the batten (Fig. XX)
• It is recommended that a test cut be performed on scrap
material prior to using the workpiece
Freehand routing
See Fig.XXI
• The Router (1) can be used for creative freehand or signwriting
work without the use of a guide
• Practise on scrap material before working on the workpiece
• Draw the design on the workpiece then router the design using
shallow passes

Template & guide bush routing
See Fig.XXII and XXIII
• See ‘Fitting a guide bush for use with templates & jigs’
• Template patterns (Fig. XXII (a)) are used with a Guide Bush
(not supplied) (49) to allow the Router (1) to carve a pattern
in the workpiece (Fig. XXII (b)) and are used for consistent,
repeatable shapes
• When using a template and Guide Bush, the cut on the nal
workpiece will differ from the space in the template, and the
Offset (Fig. XXIII (c)) of the Guide Bush must be considered prior
to cutting
• To work out the Offset, use this formula: Offset = Guide Bush
outer diameter - Router Bit (48) diameter
• Template patterns and jigs can be made out of a variety of
materials such as hardboard, plywood, plastic or metal
Table-mounted operation
• Fitting and operating this router on a compatible router table
should be carried out in accordance with the instructions
supplied with the router table
• Ensure the Router (1) is tted to the Plunge Base (9) if using in a
compatible router table
• A Triton Table Height Winder engages with the Table Height
Micro Winder Connector (32) for quick and easy above-the-table
height adjustment when the router is table mounted, and there
is an access hole for the Height Winder
