What to do if my Eastwood Sander has excessive noise or vibration?
If your Eastwood Sander is making excessive noise or vibrating too much, it's likely that the abrasive disk is torn or damaged, which is an unsafe condition. Stop using the sander immediately and replace the abrasive disk.
Why does my Eastwood Sander motor overheat?
If your Eastwood Sander's motor is overheating, it could be due to applying too much pressure while sanding or grinding. Allow the disk to cut by rotation alone and avoid forcing it. Another possible cause is a buildup of dirt and cutting debris in the motor cooling air slots. Use a brush or compressed air to remove the debris.
What to do if my Eastwood Sander does not run?
If your Eastwood Sander does not run when the switch is turned on, first, check the 120 VAC input plug connection to ensure it is properly connected. Also, check for a tripped circuit breaker, as the sander requires a 15 Amp minimum circuit to operate correctly.
Why is my Eastwood Sander motor running slow?
If your Eastwood Sander motor runs too slow or develops low power, it could be due to excessive voltage drop from the local power company's voltage supply. Try using it at another location or at a time when the voltage is higher. Another cause may be an undersized or overly long extension cord. Extension cords are not recommended, but if necessary, use only a 16 Gauge or larger cord and limit the length to 25 feet.
