7. DO NOT hone without polishing paste on the wheel. If honing a number of
blades, it may be necessary to apply more paste. Switch off machine and
remove blade before applying compound
Honing without the square edge jig
• If the workpiece is too large to mount in the jig, you can fit the Support Arm
(11) and rest the workpiece on the support, with the edge pointing away
from you. This will help you keep the blade steady at the angle required
• Move the blade back and forth across the wheel to ensure even polishing
across the blade
Removing engineering marks
• The manufacturing process sometimes leaves blades with engineering
marks on the surface of the cross section (or ‘face’) of the blade
• You can remove these by applying the damaged face of the blade to the
side face of the stone
• Move the face of the blade slowly over the face of the stone. Do not apply
excessive force, and avoid fingers coming into contact with the stone
• Carry out this procedure first, before you sharpen the blade
Finishing work
1. Disengage the drive system by loosening the Torque Adjustment Knob (10)
This will help to ensure the drive wheel retains perfect shape
2. Empty the water trough
WARNING: NEVER leave the grindstone standing in water.

Maintenance
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose
over time
• 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
Grindstone maintenance
• Do not use a grindstone that has received a blow, especially to the side
of the stone
• Replace a cracked or suspect stone immediately
• Maintain an even grinding surface. Use the Diamond Trueing Tool TWSDTT
(available separately) to restore the grinding stone’s surface when it has
become uneven or shows other signs of wear
• See ‘Fitting the grindstone and water trough’ for guidance on fitting a stone
Note: The spindle features a reverse thread: turn clockwise to loosen, anti-
clockwise to tighten.
Replacing the leather honing wheel
If the Leather Honing Wheel (1) becomes worn or torn, it must be replaced:
1. Unscrew and set aside the Locking Knob (3)
2. Remove the worn honing wheel from the spindle, and position new wheel
in its place
3. Re-fit the Locking Knob and tighten.
Note: Tighten by hand only.
Storage
• ALWAYS empty the water trough, clean the machine and cover for storage
• NEVER store the machine with a wet or damp grinding stone. ALWAYS
ensure the stone has dried completely before covering and storing
long-term
• Store this machine carefully in a secure, warm, 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, 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
