      If the battery pack of your Triton Drill has low capacity, it might be because the battery isn't being fully charged. Ensure you charge the battery until the charger indicates a full charge. It's also possible that the battery pack has been charged over 100 times, and its capacity has started to reduce, which is normal. Contact your Triton dealer to purchase a replacement battery pack.

      If the cutting disc on your Triton Grinder is off center or vibrating eccentrically, it could be due to an overly worn or deformed grinding/cutting disc, or because the grinding/cutting disc is not fitted correctly. Turn off the grinder and replace the disc, or refit the disc correctly.
