Router Table Safety

WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment;

• Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss
• Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of harmful dust
• Cut-proof no-fray gloves to avoid possible injuries when handling router cutters and rough material due to sharp edges. Any gloves where fabric material can work loose with the possibility of fabric strands MUST not be used when operating the router table
• Safety glasses to avoid eye injury caused by flying particles
  Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area use adequate protection. Keep bystanders a safe distance away.

WARNING: ALWAYS connect the dust extraction port on the router cutter guard to a suitable vacuum dust extraction system. Certain types of wood are toxic or may cause allergic reactions in people and animals, especially when exposed to very fine dust. ALWAYS wear appropriate respiratory protection in addition to vacuum dust extraction.

• ONLY fit plunge routers that are listed as compatible in ‘Specification’ to the Router Table. Only fit router bits that are suitable for the installed plunge router, with shanks compatible with the collet installed.

• NEVER reach to the underside of the router table when the router is connected to the power supply.

• ALWAYS remove the router plunge spring and plastic base plate, before fitting the tool to the router table.
  This enables easy router bit change and height winder adjustment from above the table.

• Keep your hands away from the cutting area. NEVER pass your hands directly over, or in front of, the revolving cutter.
  As one hand approaches the router bit, move it AWAY from the cutter, in an arc motion over the top of the router bit, to the out-feed side beyond the cutter. NEVER trail your fingers behind the workpiece and DO NOT use awkward hand positions. Use push sticks and blocks where necessary.

• Do not attempt to perform tasks on workpieces shorter than 300mm (12″) in length without using special fixtures or jigs. It is recommended to make work pieces oversize then cut to finished length.

• ASSESS risks, benefits and alternatives BEFORE using push sticks, push blocks or other jigs and safety devices.
  In many applications the use of such contraptions is useful and safe, however, in others it can be dangerous. Push sticks can fly out of the operator’s hand, when they come into contact with the revolving router bit, potentially causing serious injuries.

• ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the router table, and where necessary, also to the sides. Use Triton Sliding Extension or Multi-stand wherever possible.

• ALWAYS use guards, fences, horizontal and vertical feather boards etc., to guide the workpiece, counteract and avoid kickback, especially when routing small or narrow workpieces. Vertical feather boards attached to the fence also help prevent uncontrolled lift-up of the workpiece.

• ALWAYS remove ALL loose objects from the table before operating. Vibrations may cause loose objects to move, and come into contact with the cutter.

• NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the cutter with your hands, whilst the router bit is spinning. ALWAYS switch the router off, disconnect the machine from the power supply, and wait until the cutter has come to a standstill. ALWAYS use cut-proof gloves when touching the cutter, to avoid injury.

• ALWAYS inspect the workpiece for nails, staples and other metal objects and foreign bodies. If the router cutter hits a concealed nail, the bit may be destroyed, high-velocity projectiles may be produced, kickback can occur, all of which can lead to serious injury.

• WHEREVER possible, use blind cutting techniques, where the router bit does not protrude from underneath the workpiece. Keeping the cutter on the underside of the workpiece provides additional operator protection.

• ONLY expose the smallest possible part of the cutter above the table surface. Keep any unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.

• ALWAYS test any new setup by rotating the spindle by hand, with the machine disconnected from the
  power supply. Ensure proper cutter clearance to the throat place, fence and guard, before starting the machine.

• ALWAYS use suitable throat plates, providing optimum clearance around the router bit.

• ALWAYS use the router cutter guard, and adjust the guard to cover as much of the router bit as possible, as close to the workpiece as possible. This not only protects the user from accessing the revolving router cutter, it also provides effective dust extraction

• LIMIT the depth of cut; NEVER remove too much material in one pass. Several passes with at smaller cutting depth are safer, and produce a better surface finish.

• ENSURE to adjust the router cutter speed, according to router cutter diameter and material being cut. Use the speed selection dial on the plunge router.

• ALWAYS feed AGAINST the rotation of the cutter. Both feed direction and rotation are indicated by arrows on the
  router table surface.

• ALWAYS use the fence if using a cutter without bearing or pilot. ALWAYS support the workpiece firmly against the fence. NEVER remove the retractable guards on the fence. ALWAYS use a cutter with bearing or pilot for freehand work.

Additional Safety Information

• ONLY use router cutters in perfect working condition compatible with the specification of the router table and which are suitable for hand feeding operation (marked ‘MAN’ for manual operation according to EN 847-1)

• The bit must not enter the workpiece in the same direction as the feed direction. If this occurs, it is likely to cause climb cutting, causing the workpiece to climb and pull away from the operator. This can lead to a loss of control and a potential hazard during operation

• Do not attempt to re-sharpen router cutters unless you specifically follow the manufacturer’s instructions and have the equipment to complete this task. The majority of router cutters have blades that cannot be re-sharpened and must be replaced immediately if dull

• Do not create fence traps caused by improper fence location. Fence traps happen when the fence is positioned so far back that the front side of the workpiece would be behind the router cutter. These are dangerous due to the risk of climb cutting and the difficulty of keeping the workpiece against the fence

• Ensure the correct table insert (table ring) is fitted that is the correct size for the size of the router cutter fitted

• Never use a router table until fully assembled and always re-check fasteners after re-assembly after storage

• Make certain the router is not plugged into the power outlet when installing into the table or when making adjustments or changing accessories

• DO NOT plug the router into a standard mains wall socket. It must be plugged into the router table switch box so it can be switched off in an emergency

• The router table must be installed on a solid level surface and secured so the table will not tip.

• Use of auxiliary in-feed and out-feed supports is necessary for long or wide workpieces. Long workpieces without adequate support could cause the table to tip towards the operator causing injury

• Routers create a lot of vibration and can work loose from their mountings. Check the mountings frequently and re-tighten if
  necessary

• Never start the tool with the router cutter already engaged in the workpiece. This can lead to a lack of control and possible injury

• The router table is designed to cut flat, straight and squared material only. Do not cut material that is warped, uneven, weak or made from  inconsistent material. If necessary make sure material is correctly prepared before use. Incorrect material can lead to a lack of control and possible injury

WARNING: Unmaintained tools can cause uncontrolled situations. ONLY use router cutters that are correctly sharpened, maintained and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: Seek professional training and assistance before attempting work that require procedures you are not familiar with. STOP using the router table, if, at any point during operation, you encounter difficulties or are uncertain how to proceed safely.

Before Use

WARNING: Ensure the router is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing any accessories, inserting or removing modules or making any adjustments.

Installing and removing the router module
See ‘Installing and removing modules’ in the main Workcentre TWX7 manual for a complete guide.

WARNING: Lower the router cutter to a safe height position before installing or removing the router table module.

WARNING: Some modules are heavy, especially with power tools installed. ALWAYS grip modules with both hands, ensure secure footing, stand upright, and avoid awkward movements when removing and fitting modules

IMPORTANT: Always lower modules carefully using both the provided Thumb Holes. Uncontrolled lowering can cause Workcentre, module and power tool damage as well as possible injury to the operator.

WARNING: Do not place fingers and/or body parts between the module and the Workcentre chassis. See Fig. L

• To remove: Toggle the Module Locks to the unlocked position (see Fig. M). Using both Thumb Holes (12) to tilt the module to 45° then slide and lift out
• To insert: Locate the Module Mounting Rollers in the Module Mounting Tracks (15) as a hinging point and lower the insert down. Use the Thumb Holes to lower to a level position and then re-lock the Module Locks

Note: Modules can be stood upright by angling them to around 120°. This position can be used when adjustments on the underside of modules are necessary, e.g. adjustments to the fitted power tools, and there is no need to remove the module.

Assembling the router table module

• Use the Figures provided; A-K to assemble the router table module. Step B requires additional information below. Note: P1-6 on Fig.A is the Starting Pin for freehand operation and only requires fitting for freehand operation.

Fitting a Triton router to the router mounting plate

• The mounting plate is on the underside of the table and has been designed for direct mounting of any of the three Triton Routers (JOF001, MOF001 and TRA001)

WARNING: Remove the plunge spring to configure the router for table- mounted operation. See the original router manual for procedure. Store the spring carefully as it will need to be re-fitted when the router is removed from the router table module.

1. Remove the plastic cover of the base plate of the router by removing the securing screws. The screws and plastic base plate
   should be safely stored for when they may need to be re-fitted in the future

2. Ensure the base of the router is completely clean so it will be level with the mounting plate when fitted

3. Loosen the two mounting knobs on the router until they are approximately 10mm above the base of the router when pushed down

4. Push down on the mounting knobs until the bolt heads locate into the keyholes and rotate the router anticlockwise until the knobs align with the small triangle holes (Fig. B)

5. Tighten the mounting knobs firmly

6. Ensuring all mains power is switched off, connect the power cable plug of the power tool to the mains socket of the
   Workcentre not directly to a wall socket or other mains outlet

Note: Early Triton TRA001 routers do not feature a table winder connector.

Levelling the throat plate

1. Level the throat plate in the router table using a square and the supplied hex key to adjust the levelling screws (see Fig. N)
2. Fit the three Throat Plate Screws (P8) to secure the throat plate in position
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 (11)

1. Fit the module into the Workcentre chassis and lock both Module Locks (20)
2. Tighten the three Module Levelling Bobbin Screws (11), 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 and off
Note: Refer to your router manual for additional information

• The Workcentre ON/OFF Switch is located at the front
• Connect the Workcentre mains lead to a wall socket and switch on
• Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the ‘O’ position by pushing on the emergency stop flap
• Switch on the power tool by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into the ‘I’ position
• Switch the Workcentre ON/OFF Switch into the ‘I’ position to power the tool to use

User position and 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 and 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
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

Using the fence micro adjusters

• Screw the thumbwheels on the Fence Micro-Adjusters (4) out to provide sufficient adjustment. 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
• 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. Horizontal featherboards can be stacked to allow for a higher exposed cutter and taller workpieces. This is an additional purchase TWX7FB.

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 left Fence Face only. Begin the cut

Method 2

1. Ensure the Fence Faces are close to the cutter

2.  Set Micro-Adjusters (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

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
