FAQs
What is the maximum disc size for this grinder?
This grinder is designed for 115mm (4.5 inch) discs.
Can I use batteries from other Draper tool series?
No, this grinder is part of the D20 series and requires D20 batteries for operation. It is not compatible with other Draper battery ranges.
How long does the 4.0AH battery typically last?
Runtime varies significantly based on the application (e.g., cutting vs. grinding) and material. The 4.0AH battery provides substantial runtime for most common tasks.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the D20 Brushless 115mm Grinder (bare tool), one D20 4.0AH battery, one D20 4A fast battery charger, and a heavy-duty medium 28L tool bag.
How do I change the grinding disc?
First, ensure the battery is removed. Then, press and hold the spindle lock button, and use the appropriate spanner to unscrew the outer flange nut.
Is this grinder suitable for heavy-duty construction work?
While robust, it is best suited for general DIY, workshop use, and moderate site tasks. For continuous, extremely heavy-duty industrial applications, a larger or corded grinder might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Grinder not powering on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the grinder. Check that the safety switch is engaged correctly.
Reduced power or performance
The battery may be low; recharge it. Check if the air vents are blocked and clean them. Ensure the disc is not damaged or excessively worn.
Disc not tightening properly
Verify you are using the correct spanner for the disc and nut. Ensure the M14 thread is clean and undamaged. Make sure the spindle lock is engaged firmly while tightening.
Overheating during use
Reduce the load on the tool and allow it to cool down. Ensure air vents are clear. Avoid continuous heavy use beyond the tool's intended capacity without breaks.
