GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING. Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term 'power tool' in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
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
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified 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 the 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.
3. Personal safety
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
General Safety Instructions
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
a. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dustmask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
b. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
c. 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.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
e. Wear suitable clothing and footwear. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
f. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
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
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.
5
GB
e. Always unplug your power tool when leaving
it unattended. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally by untrained users.
f. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
g. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
TEMPLATE GUIDE BUSHES
For template routing, using guide bushes on
the Triton Router, the guide plate will first need
to be fitted. There is a guide plate to suit both
model Triton Routers - use the one specific to
your model router.
1. With the router upside down, remove the black
base via the 4 Phillips-headed screws.
MOF001 Models:
Fit the Guide Plate (L) to the underside of
the black base and position it so that the key
notches in the plate locate onto the tabs in the
base.
TRB001 Models:
Position the Guide Plate (F) onto the router
base with all the holes in the plate aligned
with those in the router base.
2. Refit the base onto the router using the
Phillips-headed screws. Do not tighten yet.
h. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits,
in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, 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.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
3. Loosely fit the two M4 Screws (H) into the
holes in the depressed side of the adaptor
plate, leaving a 3mm gap under each head. Sit
the Alignment Bush (O) recessed side up, into
the centre of the plate with the two notches
positioned over the screw heads. Rotate the
bush until the notches no longer align with the
screw heads, then tighten the screws.
4. Plunge the router to the collet lock position,
manoeuvring the black base so that the collet
locates through the hole in the alignment
bush. Tighten the 4 screws securing the black
base in position. Do not overtighten as this
can distort the plastic base.
5. Fit a router bit into the collet and plunge the
router until the bit is hidden. remove the
Alignment Bush and fit a Guide Bush (G, I, J,
K, M, N & P) with its collar side up. Rotate
the bit by hand to ensure there is complete
clearance between the bit and the guide bush.
If using a Porter Cable Guide Bush, fit
it to the Alignment Bush first, with the
guide bush fitting into the recessed side of the
Alignment Bush. Then fit this assembly to the
Guide Plate.
• Even when not using the template guides the
guide plate can remain fitted to the router
for the majority of cuts whether hand-held
or table-mounted. If using cutters with a
diameter larger than 50mm the guide plate
will need to be removed.
• Regularly check that the M4 Screws (H) are
tightened firmly. You may consider removing
the screws and sorting them in the box when
not using a guide bush.
General Safety Instructions / Template Guide Bushes
Table Mounted Use
The Spacer (C) is required when template
routing on a Router Table. Remove the insert
ring from your router table as it is not used
with the template guide kit. Remove the
screws from the Guide Plate and sit the spacer,
recessed side up, into the centre of the plate.
Align the screw holes then fit the screws and
your chosen guide bush.
DUST CHUTE
The Dust Chute (A) can be fitted directly to the
baseplate of the router if using a bearing guided
cutter, or onto the extended baseplate (when
fitted), for chip extraction beneath the cut.
1. Remove any two of the
screws on the base of the
router, depending on
where you would like the
dust chute located.
Keep these screws in
a safe place as they
will need to be re-fitted when the dust
chute is not in use.
2. Position the dust chute
onto the base, with its
slots aligned with the
screw holes. Loosely fit
5
the
⁄8" Phillips-headed
Screws (E), through the
slots.
3. Slide the dust chute toward the cutter to
best enclose the cut zone. Ensure that its
positioning still enables you to achieve your
desired cut. Tighten the screws.
4. Fit 38mm O.D. hose by screwing it on anticlockwise.
If using the extended
baseplate, remove the
two Phillips-head screws
and then fit the extended
baseplate to the router.
The dust chute can then
be fitted via the holes in
the baseplate, using the 1" Phillips-headed
Screws (D).
TABLE WINDER
1. Mount the router securely into your router table
as detailed in your router table instructions.
Turn the table (with router fitted) upside down.
2. With a marker pen trace
the scallop in the base of
the router onto the
underneath of your router
table. Complete the
tracing to form a circle
