h) Some hand and power tool blades feature a complex geometry. If such a blade is

suitable for sharpening, it may ONLY be restored to its original geometry. NEVER alter the

existing blade features. If you are unsure how to achieve this, have the tool sharpened by

the manufacturer or a trained technician

i) Metalworking machines are potentially dangerous if not used properly. ALWAYS

adhere to commonly recognised rules and procedures concerning the operation of

metalwork machines and the use of hand tools

j) Always use the CORRECT accessories for sharpening speciﬁc tools. Never alter

accessories or jigs. Never use self-built accessories or modify the machine. This

device may be unsuitable if the accessories designed for speciﬁc sharpening tasks are

unavailable. DO NOT sharpen tools ‘free-hand’

k) Inspect the machine, its discs, wheels and accessories carefully before EVERY

use. The use of damaged abrasive wheels is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and might cause

SERIOUS injury to the operator and people in the vicinity

l) Abrasive wheels must be well maintained and have an EVEN grinding surface.

Recondition with a stone grader or truing tool when surface shows uneven wear

m) Ensure your power circuits satisfy the earthing requirements of this machine. Never

connect to electrical circuits without protective earth, or to unprotected electrical outlet

with no circuit breaker or fuses. Consult a qualiﬁed electrician if at all unsure about how

to safely connect this machine. Incorrect or damaged electrical connections can be the

cause of electric shocks, ﬁres and damage to the machine

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and

functions

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing

or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

Fitting the Grindstone and Water Trough

1. Place the Metal Washer (7) onto the spindle, proﬁle facing away from the body of the

machine

2. Place the Grindstone (6) loosely onto the spindle, with the depressed centre of the

grindstone facing away from the body of the machine (as shown in image)

3. Clip the Water Trough (5) into position. Use the appropriate ﬁxing position to suit the size

of grindstone to ensure stone is free to rotate yet reaches below the max water level (as

marked on trough)

4. Place the other Metal Washer (7) onto the spindle, proﬁle facing the grindstone

5. Fasten with the Locking Nut (8). Use the Spanner (16) to secure tightly

Note: This spindle has a reverse thread, turn nut anti-clockwise to fasten.

6. Rotate the grindstone by hand a few turns to ensure that it moves freely and accurately

Leather Honing Wheel

1. The unit is supplied with the Leather Honing Wheel (1) ﬁtted

2. Before use, check that the honing wheel is securely fastened in place

3. Turn the Locking Knob (3) clockwise to tighten

Note: Tighten by hand only.

Note: A Proﬁled Leather Honing Wheel is also available to purchase as an optional accessory.

See ‘Proﬁled Leather Honing Wheel’ for more information.

Positioning the unit

• Install the unit on a solid work surface, with all four feet securely planted on the surface

Note: This machine features four rubber feet to decrease vibration. Place it on a work surface

that does not encourage or amplify tool vibration.

• Ensure there is adequate light to see the work clearly and sufﬁcient space around the unit

so that there are no obstructions

Filling the Water Trough

1. Fill the Water Trough (5) with clean cold water up to the ‘MAX WATER LEVEL’ mark on the

side of the water trough

2. When in use, ensure the water level is always sufﬁcient to keep the grinding surface of the

Grindstone (6) wet

Engaging the drive system

1. Tighten the Torque Adjustment Knob (10) by turning it clockwise until it is tight up against

the body of the machine. This will engage the drive system

2. After use, always loosen the torque adjustment knob. This will help to ensure the drive

wheel retains its correct shape

Using the Stone Grader

Use the Stone Grader (14) to dress the surface of the grindstone for ﬁne or coarse grinding:

For coarse grinding, to remove a large amount of material quickly (for example, to shape a

blade):

• Apply the coarse side of the stone grader to the grindstone to roughen the grinding

surface

For ﬁne grinding, to sharpen the blade:

• Apply the smooth side of the stone grader to the grindstone to provide a ﬁner surface,

ideal for sharpening the blade in preparation ﬁnal polishing of the cutting edge on the

leather honing wheel

Using the Straight Edge Jig

For use with the Support Arm (11) and Grinding Angle Set-Up Jig (17) to set the blade at

exactly the correct angle for sharpening

1. Loosen the knobs on the Straight Edge Jig (13)

2. Place the blade in the jig so that one edge of the blade is positioned against the end stops

(Image A)

3. Tighten the knobs to fasten the blade in position

Using the Support Arm

• The Support Arm (11) can be attached for grinding with or against the direction of rotation

of the grindstone

For grinding against the direction of rotation:

1. Place the Support Arm (11) in the Vertical Mounts (2) (Image B)

For grinding and honing with the direction of rotation:

1. Place the Support Arm (11) in the Horizontal Mounts (9) (Image C)

WARNING: Honing must ONLY be carried out WITH the direction of rotation.

• Working against the direction of rotation removes larger amounts of material more quickly

than working with the direction of rotation

• Working with the direction of rotation can be used for very precise sharpening of a blade

for ﬁner tools and is used for honing

• Take your time and practise the set up with various types and sizes of blades so that you

can achieve the correct sharpening angle and ensure the blade to be sharpened is square

across the surface of the grindstone

• In general, for sharpening, position the support arm in the vertical mounts and sharpen

against the direction of rotation

• NEVER place the support arm in the vertical mounts when using the leather honing wheel.

Attempting to hone the blade against the direction of rotation will cause severe damage to

the honing wheel

Using the Grinding Angle Set-Up Jig

• Use the Grinding Angle Set-Up Jig (17) to set the blade at exactly the correct angle for

sharpening (Image D).

1. Mount the blade in the Straight Edge Jig (13) and place the support arm in the mount

Note: The Grinding Angle Set-up Jig can be used in conjunction with other jigs in the Triton

range. See ‘Accessories’ section for more information.
