What to do if my Eastwood Grinder does not run when the switch is on?
If your Eastwood Grinder doesn't run when switched on, first check the 120 VAC input plug connection to ensure it's properly connected. Also, check for a tripped circuit breaker.
Why does the tungsten overheat on my Eastwood Grinder?
The tungsten on your Eastwood Grinder may overheat due to excessive pressure being applied; allow the diamond grinding wheel to cut by rotation alone and do not force it. Also, check for dirt and debris buildup in the motor cooling air slots, and use a brush or compressed air to remove any debris.
Why is my Eastwood Grinder motor running too slow and developing low power?
Your Eastwood Grinder motor may run too slow or develop low power if you are using an undersized or overly long extension cord. Use only an 18-gauge or larger cord, and limit its length to 25 feet. Also, make sure that the grinding wheel is not contacting the I.D. of the grinding guide and binding; adjust the 4 set screws of the grinding guide to center it over the grinding wheel.
What to do if my Eastwood Grinder has excessive noise and/or vibration?
Excessive noise and vibration in your Eastwood Grinder may indicate that the diamond grinding wheel is damaged. This is an extremely dangerous condition! Stop use and replace the diamond grinding wheel immediately!
