To change the grinding wheel, first ensure the grinder is unplugged. Use the provided wrench to loosen the wheel nut, remove the old wheel, and then place the new wheel onto the spindle. Tighten the nut securely before use.
Regular maintenance includes checking the condition of the grinding wheel before each use, cleaning the tool after use, and inspecting the power cord for damage monthly. A full inspection by a professional is recommended annually.
Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced grinding wheel. Check if the wheel is correctly installed and free from damage. Replacing the wheel or consulting the manual for further steps may be necessary.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, ear protection, and gloves. Ensure the work area is well-lit and free from obstructions. Never operate the grinder without the guard in place.
Check if the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Inspect the power switch for damage. If the issue persists, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker. Professional servicing may be required for internal issues.
Clean the grinder thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. Store it in a dry, cool place, ideally in its original case or a protective cover, to prevent damage. Keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight.
First, check the condition of the grinding wheel and replace it if it is worn out. Ensure the grinder is operating at the correct speed setting and adjust if necessary. Clean any debris from the machine that may be affecting performance.
The BHG-1800 is primarily designed for dry grinding. Using it for wet grinding may require specific accessories and precautions. Consult the user manual for compatibility and safety instructions before attempting wet grinding.
Signs include reduced motor power, intermittent operation, or visible sparking. If these occur, inspect the carbon brushes and replace them if they are worn down to less than 8mm in length, following the instructions in the manual.
To adjust the handle, loosen the adjustment knob located at the base of the handle. Set the handle to the desired angle and tighten the knob securely to ensure stability during operation.
