Troubleshooting

Grinder vibrates excessively during operation.

Ensure all four rubber feet are securely attached and making contact with the work surface. Check that the sanding belt or grinding wheel is correctly mounted and balanced. Avoid applying uneven pressure.

Sanding belt is not tracking straight.

Adjust the tracking knob on the belt arm to guide the belt centrally. Ensure the belt is not damaged and is correctly installed. Check for debris buildup on the rollers.

Grinding wheel is not cutting effectively.

The grinding wheel may be glazed or worn out. Clean the wheel surface or replace it if it is significantly diminished.

Motor stops or struggles under load.

Check if the unit is overloaded. Reduce the pressure applied to the workpiece. Ensure the air vents are not blocked to prevent overheating. Verify power supply is adequate.
