Safety Instructions For Power Tools
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep prop-
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.

Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-
vicing and changing accessories,
such as blades, bits, cutters, and
the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN-

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, 7⁄64" and 1⁄8" 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.
