Using the fence micro adjusters
1. Screw the thumbwheels on the Fence Micro-Adjusters (4) out
to provide sufficient adjustment.
2. Tighten the micro-adjusters in position against the rear of the
fence and screw the thumbwheels in to obtain the required
rebate amount. One complete turn is 1mm.
3. Unlock the fence, move it back against the micro-adjusters and
re-lock.
Using the fence
• The Fence Faces (14) should always be positioned as close
to the cutter as possible. Position them by sliding forward or
backward. Ensure they are tensioned firmly enough to resist
unwanted movement.
Using the featherboards
IMPORTANT: Horizontal and vertical featherboards should not
overlap in use. A minimum gap of 10mm is required. See Fig. Q.
Both the Vertical Featherboard (5) and Horizontal Featherboard
(19) are used to apply light pressure to the workpiece to hold it
more securely as it is cut.
• Each featherboard has a short plastic pin (Fig O): this indicates
the workpiece line. Adjust both the Vertical Featherboard and
Horizontal Featherboard so this shorter pin just touches the
workpiece so the longer pins are correctly tensioned against
the workpiece in use.
• The exposed router bit cutter height should not exceed the
height of the installed horizontal featherboards.
Using the fence spacers
Planing cuts should be performed with the cutter mostly hidden
behind the Fence Faces (14) (Fig. R & S).
WARNING: NEVER make planing cuts with the workpiece
passing between the cutter and fence on the right. The cutter will
flex aside, 'climb up' on the work, and rip the workpiece out of your
hands - or even pull your hand into the cutter.
Planing on the router fence
• Planing cuts of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mm can be performed
using the Fence Face Spacers (2)
Method 1
1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter.
2. Push the spring-loaded left Fence Face away from the fence
and slide the two Fence Face Spacers into the gaps created at
the required rotation for the maximum cut depth required as
marked on the spacer.
3. Use a wooden straight edge to align the cutter blade with the
EN
left Fence Face only. Begin the cut.
Method 2
1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter.
2. Set Micro-Adjusters (4 & 24) to mid travel; ensure marks are
aligned.

3. Use a wooden straight edge to align the cutter blade with the
Fence Faces. Push the Micro-Adjusters into contact with the
Fence. Lock the Fence in this position.
4. Decide on cut depth required. Wind both Micro-Adjusters
clockwise by this depth. Unlock the Fence and push back into
contact with the Micro-Adjusters (4 & 24).
5. Push the spring-loaded left Fence Face away from the Fence
and slide the two Fence Face Spacers into the gaps created at
the required rotation for the maximum cut depth required as
marked on the spacer. Begin the cut.
Fitting the starting pin
• A Starter Pin can be fitted to the router table to assist freehand
routing. For freehand operation, configure the router table as
Fig. P.
• Ensure the guard is correctly adjusted to the correct height to
provide maximum protection to the operator's hands (Fig. T).
• In use, the workpiece should contact the starter pin first and be
angled from that position to the cutter for the first cut.
Accessories
• A wide range of accessories and consumables, in addition to
those listed below, is available from your Triton stockist. Spare
parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before
carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Check regularly that all the fixing screws are tight and all
parts are undamaged and in good condition. Do not use the
router table until any faulty, damaged or heavily worn parts
are replaced.
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for
damage or wear. Repairs should be carried out by an
authorised Triton service centre. This advice also applies to
extension cords used with this tool.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause
internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's
service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush,
or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow
through the ventilation holes.
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild
detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents.
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a
suitable spray lubricant.
