Troubleshooting
Disc breaking during use
Ensure the disc is correctly mounted and not overtightened. Avoid excessive side pressure or forcing the cut. Check if the tool's RPM exceeds the disc's rating.
Slow cutting speed
Verify the air pressure to the cut-off tool is adequate. Ensure the disc is sharp and not worn down. Clean any debris from the cutting area.
Disc wobbling or vibrating
Check that the disc is mounted perfectly flat and securely. Ensure the tool's spindle is straight and the flanges are clean. Inspect the disc for any warping or damage.
