FAQs
What size cutting discs does this angle grinder use?
The Einhell TE-AG 18 Li uses standard 115 mm diameter cutting discs.
Can I use batteries from other brands with this grinder?
No, this grinder is part of the Einhell Power X-Change family and is only compatible with Einhell 18V Power X-Change rechargeable batteries.
How long does the battery last?
Battery runtime depends on the capacity of the Power X-Change battery used (e.g., 2.0 Ah, 4.0 Ah, 5.0 Ah) and the intensity of the task. A 4.0 Ah battery is included in some kits.
Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications?
The TE-AG 18 Li is designed for DIY and semi-professional use. For continuous, heavy-duty industrial applications, a more powerful, corded model might be more suitable.
How do I attach and adjust the disc guard?
The disc guard features a quick-adjust facility. Typically, there is a lever or mechanism to loosen, reposition, and then tighten the guard to the desired position without tools.
What is the purpose of the soft start function?
The soft start function gradually brings the tool up to speed upon activation, preventing sudden jerky movements and providing a smoother, safer start to your cutting or grinding operation.
What accessories are included in the delivery?
Delivery typically includes an additional handle with a spanner, a cutting disc guard, a cutting disc (115 x 1.2 mm), a flap wheel (115 mm), an Einhell bag for storage, and often a battery and charger (check specific kit contents).
Troubleshooting
Tool does not start
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the safety switch is engaged. Verify that the overload cut-out has not been triggered.
Reduced cutting/grinding performance
Check battery charge level. Ensure the disc is sharp and appropriate for the material. Inspect for any blockages in the air vents or a worn-out accessory.
Excessive vibration
Ensure the accessory is correctly mounted and balanced. Check if the accessory is damaged or worn. Ensure the tool itself is clean and free of debris.
Overheating during use
Ensure air vents are clear. Do not force the tool; let the accessory do the work. Allow the tool to cool down periodically, especially during prolonged heavy use. Using a higher capacity battery might help maintain performance under load.
