across the face of the grinding wheel, and to cool the object frequently using the coolant tray.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Service on these tools should only be performed by an authorized, qualified technician.
Symptom Probable cause Corrective Action
Machine will not start.
1. Low voltage
1. Check power source for proper
voltage.
2. Open circuit in motor or loose
connections.
2. Inspect all lead connections on
motor for loose or open connections.
(Send for servicing.)
3. Blown fuse or breaker.
3. Short circuit. (Send for
servicing.)
4. Improper match between tool and
circuit, fuse or breaker.
Motor will not start – fuses or
circuit breakers tripping or
blowing.
1. Short circuit in line, cord or plug. 1. Inspect cord or plug for damaged
insulation and shorted wires.
2. Short circuit in motor or loose
connections.
2. Inspect all connections on motor
for loose or shorted terminals and/or
worn insulation.
3. Incorrect fuses or circuit
breakers in power line.
3. Install correct fuses or circuit
breakers or switch tool to an
appropriately sized circuit.
The machine vibrates
2. The grinding wheel is
unbalanced
3. Balance the grinding wheel
2. The grinding wheel has become
loose.
2. Stop the machine immediately.
Tighten the grinding wheel.
3. The grinding wheel is damaged. 3. Change the grinding wheel.
Motor overheats
1. Motor overloaded.
1. Reduce load on motor (pressure
on object being sanded or grinded).
2. Extension cord too long and of
insufficient gauge.
2. Utilize an extension cord of
appropriate gauge and length or plug
tool directly into outlet.
Motor stalls (resulting in blown
fuses or tripped circuit
breaker).
1. Short circuit in motor or loose
connections.
1. Inspect connections on motor for
loose or shorted terminals or worn
insulation. (Send for servicing.)
2. Low voltage.
2. Correct low voltage conditions (for
example: improper extension cord
length and/or gauge).
3. Incorrect fuses or circuit
breakers in power line.
3. Install correct fuses or circuit
breakers or plug tool into an
appropriate circuit, matched to an
appropriate fuse or breaker.
4. Motor overload. 4. Reduce the load on the motor.
