Troubleshooting

The angle grinder is not turning on.

Check that the battery is properly inserted and charged. If the battery is installed correctly, ensure the switch is fully engaged. If this does not resolve the issue, check the motor for any obstruction.

The angle grinder is running slowly or has reduced power.

Check the battery charge level. If the battery is low, recharge it. Check the disc for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary. Allow the tool to cool down if it has been used for an extended period.

The disc is not cutting effectively.

Ensure you are using the correct disc type for the material. Apply appropriate pressure while cutting, and avoid forcing the cut. If cutting metal, use a lubricant to cool the disc.
