Troubleshooting
Operation
Switching on and off
Note: Do not switch the machine on/off when the disc is in contact with the workpiece.
Always allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying load, and to stop completely
before placing the grinder down. Always hold the machine securely, using both hands, on the
handles provided
WARNING: Switching off the angle grinder under load will significantly reduce the service life
of the On/Off Switch (2).
1. To start the machine, grip the Insulated Handle (3) and Auxiliary Handle (8) firmly
2. Push the On/Off Switch (2) forward to turn on, release the switch to turn off
Note
: As a safety feature the On/Off switch cannot be locked in the On position.
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone and metal grinding
discs are not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• When grinding, keep the tool at approximately 15 to 30° to the workpiece surface (Fig II)
Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding. Excessive pressure does
not result in more effective removal of material, but will in fact cause premature wear of the
grinding disc and increase wear and tear on the machine.
Cutting
WARNING: Always ensure that the correct guard (optional accessory) for use with cutting discs
or superabrasive wheels is installed.
Note: This machine is not designed for wet cutting.
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and metal cutting
discs are not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might shatter and produce
projectiles that could injure the operator and bystanders
• When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not apply any sideways
force to cutting discs, as this might lead to the disc becoming jammed in the cut and
shattering
WARNING: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst cutting. Excessive pressure
does not result in more effective or faster cutting, but will in fact cause premature wear of the
cutting disc and increase wear and tear on the machine.
Note:
The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter will gradually reduce in size.
The smaller the disc becomes, the more strain will be placed on the motor. To avoid damage to
the machine, only use cutting discs that are within approximately 25% of the original size.
Using a cup brush or wire wheel
• Always check that the no-load speed of the grinder does not exceed the maximum speed
of the cup brush or wire wheel
• Ensure that no part of the cup brush or wire wheel can come into contact with the
machine housing
• Run the grinder, with cup brush or wire wheel attached, for at least 30 seconds before use
to check that the cup brush or wire wheel is secure, and properly balanced
• When using a wire cup brush or wire wheel, avoid applying excess pressure. Using greater
force will not make the cup brush or wire wheel more effective, but will bend the wires out
of shape and damage the brush
Accessories
• A range of accessories, including grinding, cutting and flap discs, diamond wheels, wire
cups and more is available from your Triton dealer. Spare parts can be purchased from
your Triton dealer or online at www.toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
• This tool is manufactured using class leading components and makes use of the latest
in intelligent circuitry that protects the tool and its components. In normal use it should
provide a long working life
Cleaning
• Keep your machine 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
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, batteries or other waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose
of power tools and batteries
