2. Fit the three Throat Plate Screws (P1-10/11) to secure the throat
plate in position, and ensure they pass through the holes in
the steel plate (P1-15) to enable levelling.
3. Check the throat plate is level with the table surface.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure the correct throat plate is used for the
fitted router bit.
Levelling the router module
• All modules must be adjusted so they are level with the
Workcentre chassis, to achieve accurate results and for safe
operation. Therefore, all modules are equipped with seven
Module Levelling Screws (3 & 11).
1. Fit the module into the Workcentre chassis and lock both
Module Locks.
2. Tighten the three Module Levelling Bobbin Screws until there
is no movement between the module and the Workcentre
chassis.
3. Place a straight edge over the corner, across the levelling
screws, and check for gaps.
4. Adjust the Module Levelling Screws, using the provided hex
key, until both sides of the corner are flush with the Workcentre
chassis.
5. Repeat for the remaining three corners and the single Module
Levelling Screw in the middle of the long side of the module.
6. Check all sides of the module are flush with the Workcentre
chassis by placing a straight edge over the module,
perpendicular to the long and short sides, as well as diagonally
over the table. Fine-adjust and re-check where necessary.
Dust extraction
WARNING: ALWAYS use a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction system.
WARNING: Some dust from natural wood, surface coatings and
composite materials contains toxic substances. ALWAYS dispose of
harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
• While dust extraction can be achieved using any vacuum
cleaner, domestic (bag-type) units can fill up very quickly. For
a much larger capacity, consider fitting a Triton Dust Collector
(DCA300) to your vacuum cleaner.
• The combined electrical load of the router and vacuum cleaner
may exceed the rated amperage of the domestic extension
lead or power outlet. Always connect the vacuum cleaner
and router to separate electrical outlets, and switch on both
appliances separately.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory
and hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working
with this tool.
IMPORTANT: The router table is marked with the feed direction.
This indicates the correct and safest direction for the workpiece
when making the cut.
WARNING: Do not over-balance the Workcentre by using very
large workpieces.
Note: Refer to your original TWX7 Workcentre instructions for full
information and diagrams that refer to parts of the Workcentre.
Workcentre switchbox operation
IMPORTANT: The switchbox requires a live mains connection to
switch ON. It will reset to OFF as soon as power is disconnected
and require resetting to ON when power is restored to continue
operation.
Switching ON & OFF
Note: Refer to your router manual for additional information.
1. The Workcentre ON/OFF Switch is located at the front.
2. Connect the Workcentre mains lead to a wall socket and switch
on.
3. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the 'O' position by
pushing on the emergency stop flap.
4. Switch on the power tool by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into
the 'I' position.
5. Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the 'I' position to
power the tool to use.
• Press down on the emergency stop flap to switch OFF.
User position & feed direction
• The main user position is defined by the location of the safety
cut-off switch.
• ALWAYS remain positioned in close proximity to the switch,
so the machine can be instantly switched off in the case of
emergency.
• Feed workpieces from this position in the direction indicated by
the arrows on the table surface of the individual module.
Fitting & removing router bits
WARNING: Do not use Router Cutters that exceed 50mm in
diameter with the router table module.
1. Switch off the router with the power switch fitted to the tool
itself.
2. Fit the table winder through the router table and wind to raise
the router cutter and collet (Fig. U).
3. Use the router collet spanner to remove and replace the
existing router bit.
4. Wind the table winder so the router bit is at the correct height
position.
5. Ensuring the Workcentre power switch is set to OFF, return the
router ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the table winder while the router is
powered.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the router manual for details of compatible
router bit types and sizes.
Using the guard
• Ensure the Guard (17) is used whenever possible and set to the
correct height position to ensure maximum protection for the
operator's hands.
