Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this tool come with a battery?

No, this is a bare tool and does not include a battery or charger.

Can I use 1/4 inch accessories with this?

The tool includes 6mm and 8mm collets. A 1/4 inch shank may not fit correctly, so you should use accessories that match the provided collet sizes.

Is the speed adjustable?

Yes, the tool features variable speed control to match the specific needs of your material.

What is the primary benefit of the brushless motor?

Brushless motors run cooler, last longer, and provide more torque while using less battery power than brushed motors.

Is the die grinder suitable for grinding concrete?

While it can grind surface materials, die grinders are primarily designed for metal and woodworking. Excessive abrasive concrete dust may damage the motor despite the dust protection features.

How do I change the collet?

Use the provided wrenches to unscrew the collet nut entirely, remove the existing collet, insert the new size, and re-tighten the nut.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start when paddle switch is engaged

Verify that the 18V battery is fully charged and securely locked into the tool base.

Accessory is vibrating excessively

Ensure the accessory shank is not bent and is fully seated within the collet before tightening the nut.

Motor cuts out during heavy use

The tool may have entered thermal protection mode. Allow the motor to cool for several minutes and reduce the pressure applied to the workpiece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the tool for use, select the appropriate collet (6mm or 8mm) for your accessory, insert the accessory shank, and tighten the collet nut securely using the provided wrenches. Ensure the battery is fully charged before snapping it into the base of the tool.
