Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of discs can I use with this grinder?

This grinder is designed for 100mm grinding discs. Always ensure the disc's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the grinder's free speed of 11,000 rpm and follow the disc manufacturer's safety instructions.

How often should I lubricate the grinder?

It is recommended to lubricate the air inlet with a few drops of air tool oil daily or before each extended use to maintain optimal performance and longevity.

What is the minimum air hose size required?

A minimum air hose size of 3/8" (10mm) is recommended to ensure adequate airflow and consistent performance.

Does this grinder come with a carrying case?

The product information does not specify if a carrying case is included.

What is the warranty period for this grinder?

Product warranty information is not provided in the details.

Can I use this grinder for cutting metal?

While primarily designed for grinding, with the correct type of cutting disc, it may be used for cutting. However, always prioritize safety and use appropriate discs rated for cutting applications.

How do I adjust the speed of the grinder?

The grinder features a built-in regulator that allows for speed adjustment, typically controlled by the trigger pressure and an external regulator on your air compressor system.

Troubleshooting

Grinder lacks power or runs slowly.

Check air pressure is at 90psi, ensure the air hose is not kinked or too small (minimum 3/8"), and verify the air compressor is meeting the 6.5cfm requirement. Ensure the tool is properly lubricated.

Grinder vibrates excessively.

Ensure the grinding disc is properly seated and balanced. Check for wear on the gears or internal components. Reduce pressure if working on uneven surfaces.

Safety trigger is difficult to engage or sticks.

Inspect the trigger mechanism for debris or damage. Ensure the airline is disconnected before attempting to clean or free the trigger.

Air leaks from the housing.

Check all connections, including the airline coupler and auxiliary handle. If leaks persist from the housing, internal seals may be compromised and require professional servicing.
