FAQs

What type of air compressor is needed?

You will need an air compressor that can consistently supply at least 90 PSI with an average air consumption of 5 CFM. A larger tank capacity is recommended for prolonged use.

What accessories can I use with this grinder?

This grinder is designed for accessories with a 1/4" shank. This includes various grinding stones, burrs, cutting wheels, and polishing pads.

How often should I lubricate the tool?

It is recommended to add a few drops of specialized air tool oil into the air inlet before each use for optimal performance and to extend the tool's lifespan.

Can this grinder be used for heavy-duty grinding?

This grinder is best suited for lighter-duty tasks like edge blending, porting, and polishing. For heavy-duty material removal, a larger, more powerful grinder may be necessary.

What is the purpose of the rear exhaust?

The rear exhaust system directs the expelled air away from the operator's face and hands, improving comfort and safety during operation.

Does it come with any accessories?

Yes, the grinder comes complete with a 1/4" air fitting for connecting to your air hose and spanners for securing and changing the collet accessories.

Troubleshooting

Grinder is not running or is running slowly.

Check if the air compressor is on and providing sufficient pressure (90 PSI). Ensure the air hose is securely connected and not kinked. Verify that the accessory is not binding or the collet is not too tight. Add air tool oil to the inlet.

Excessive vibration during operation.

Ensure the accessory is properly centered and securely tightened in the collet. Check if the accessory itself is damaged or unbalanced. Make sure the collet is clean and free of debris.

Air leaks from the grinder body.

Inspect all connections, including the air inlet fitting and hose connection. Check for cracks or damage to the grinder housing. If leaks persist, professional service may be required.

Tool stops abruptly during use.

This could indicate insufficient air supply or an internal issue. Check compressor performance and air line integrity. If the problem continues, cease use and inspect the tool.
