for the charger. Make sure your  
extension cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The  
amperage rating should be listed on  
the motor or tool nameplate. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power  
and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire  
and plug pin. Always repair or  
replace extension cords if they  
become damaged.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.  
Before further use of the tool, a  
guard or other part that is dam-  
aged should be carefully checked  
to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment of  
moving parts, binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts, mount-  
ing, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or  
other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not  
wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-  
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel-  
ry which may get caught in moving  
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-  
mended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cutting  
operation is dusty. Everyday eye-  
glasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are NOT safety glass-  
es.  
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING  
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER  
OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes  
to a complete stop.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
FOR GRINDERS  
1. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM  
ROTATING PARTS. Never attempt  
to adjust or stop a tool which has  
been mounted on the grinder shaft  
when the tool is turning.  
6. BEFORE APPLYING ONE OF  
THE ACCESSORY TOOL HEADS  
TO THE WORKPIECE, run the tool  
freely for a minute or two and check  
to be sure there is no wobble or  
excessive vibration.  
2. HOLD THE TOOL FIRMLY. Always  
brace yourself against the rotational  
force of the turning shaft to avoid  
slipping the tool and possibly caus-  
ing cuts or abrasions.  
7. ONLY USE GRINDING WHEELS  
which have been rated for an oper-  
ating speed which is equal to or  
greater than the highest speed of  
this tool.  
3. NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER  
LUBRICANTS with the grinding  
tools in this kit. Moisture greatly  
increases the risk of a shock haz-  
ard.  
8. WHEN  
USING  
GRINDING  
WHEELS, always check the wheel  
for cracks or other damage. Never  
use a wheel with signs of damage  
as it could fly apart during the grind-  
ing process and cause injury.  
4. WATCH OUT FOR FLYING  
SPARKS. Hold the tool so that any  
sparks created will fly in the oppo-  
site direction from you or other flam-  
mable materials.  
9. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL  
WHEN NOT IN USE.  
5. DO NOT TOUCH THE WORK-  
PIECE IMMEDIATELY AFTER  
OPERATION. The workpiece sur-  
face will be hot from the grinding  
process and may burn your skin.  
Operating this equipment has the  
potential to propel debris into the air  
which can cause eye injury. Always  
wear safety glasses or goggles when  
operating equipment. Be certain the  
safety glasses you wear meet the  
appropriate standards of the  
American  
National  
Standards  
Institute (ANSI).

OPERATION  
Inserting Attachments  
Shaft Lock Button  
Your kit comes with a large variety of dif-  
ferent attachments ranging from grinding  
stones, sanding discs and sleeves, buffing  
pads and carving tools. There are two dif-  
ferent collet sizes, 764" and 18" diameter.  
Collet  
Some of the cutting wheels, polishing tips  
and other accessories need to be attached  
or inserted into another shaft or mandrel in  
order to be used. If you are using one of  
these, first thread the accessory onto the  
shaft.  
Collet Nut  
Fig 1. Using bit extension.  
OPERATION  
Depending on the accessory you select to  
use, match the collet to that accessory.  
You can do this easily by slipping the col-  
let onto the shaft of the accessory and  
choose the one with the closest fit. Insert  
the collet into the end of the grinder shaft,  
then thread the collet nut onto the shaft.  
See Figure 1. Next insert the shaft of the  
accessory into the collet. Tighten the collet  
nut, first by hand until it is snug.  
For most uses it is helpful to grasp the tool  
much like you would a pencil. This will  
allow the finest control of the tool. Before  
starting on your actual workpiece, practice  
a similar action (drilling, grinding, sanding,  
carving, polishing) on a scrap piece to get  
the feel of the forces the tool will generate,  
and the force you need to apply to achieve  
the desired result.  
During this practice, determine which  
speed setting will give you the best result.  
There is a switch just above the ON/OFF  
switch which selects the speed. There are  
four speed settings available - 6500,  
10700, 14000, and 22000.  
Now push the shaft lock button down while  
turning the shaft until you feel the lock  
snap into place. Keeping the button  
depressed with one finger, take the sup-  
plied collet wrench and do a final tightening  
of the collet nut. Do not apply excessive  
force, just enough to keep the accessory  
from turning while you are applying it to the  
workpiece.  
For most jobs the grinder can be used at  
the highest speed. Some materials melt at  
lower temperatures and should be cut at  
lower speeds to generate less friction and  
heat. Hard materials like iron, steel or  
stone should generally be worked on using  
the higher speeds.  
Turn the grinder on using the rocker switch  
which has the “I/O” marking. Off is desig-  
nated by the”O”, on by the “I”.

OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE  
Maintenance  
Operating Tips  
Avoid overloading the grinder. Do not  
apply excessive pressure to the  
grinder while using. If the speed  
drops abnormally, decrease pres-  
sure immediately. If the grinder stops  
abruptly or becomes blocked,  
release the switch at once.  
Your Mini Grinder tool will give you hun-  
dreds of hours of operation time before  
ever needing service. The electrical com-  
ponents of this cordless drill are not user  
serviceable. Repair should always be  
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair  
technician.  
Ensure the safety of the workplace.  
Clear the work area of all parts and  
debris that may cause injury by flying  
objects. Securely fix the object to be  
worked on in a vise or otherwise  
clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt  
to hold workpiece by hand.  
Keep the grinder free from dirt, grease and  
moisture. Always store it in a dry place,  
preferably in the case that is supplied.  
Inspect the grinder before use. Run the  
grinder before using to ensure all  
parts are running smoothly and there  
are no abnormal sounds or sparks. If  
any defect is found, have unit ser-  
viced.  
Disassembly and improper reassem-  
bly of this device can result in electri-  
cal shock danger. Always have this  
device serviced by an qualified elec-  
trical repair technician. Serious injury  
will result.  
Use accessories properly. Choose the  
accessory you need carefully.
