Troubleshooting

Grinder does not start

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the on/off switch is in the 'on' position. Verify that the power outlet is functioning by testing it with another device.

Excessive vibration or noise

Ensure the grinder is securely mounted to a stable workbench. Check that the grinding wheels are correctly mounted, not damaged, and that the securing nuts are tightened properly. Make sure the tool rests are secure.

Grinding wheel is not cutting effectively

The wheel may be dull or glazed. Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material. Clean or replace the grinding wheel if it is worn or clogged.

Spark deflectors are not positioned correctly

Adjust the eye protection shields and spark deflectors to the optimal position for safety and visibility before operating the grinder. Ensure they are securely fastened.
