- Check if the power source is active. - Poor Performance / Weak Rotation:
- Verify that the correct speed setting is selected for the task.
- Inspect the grinding head for wear; a dull or damaged head will reduce efficiency.
- Ensure the accessory is properly secured in the chuck and not slipping. - Excessive Vibration or Noise:
- Check if the accessory is correctly installed and balanced. An improperly seated or bent accessory can cause vibration.
- Ensure the chuck is tightened securely.
If problems persist after checking these points, please contact customer support.
11. User Tips
- Power Source: Remember that this mini drill is a wired USB-powered device. It does not contain an internal battery, so it must be plugged into a 5V/2A USB power adapter or power bank during use.
- Speed Selection: Always choose the appropriate speed for the material and task. Lower speeds are generally better for delicate work, polishing, and softer materials, while higher speeds are suitable for grinding, cutting, and harder materials.
- Accessory Matching: Use the correct type and size of grinding head for your specific application to achieve the best results and prevent damage to the tool or workpiece.
- Gentle Pressure: Let the tool's speed and the abrasive nature of the accessory do the work. Applying too much pressure can slow down the motor, cause overheating, and lead to premature wear of the accessory.
