- Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
- Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating the tool for extended periods. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry that can get caught in moving parts.
- Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
- Maintenance: Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.

- Attaching Accessories:
- Press and hold the spindle lock button located on the grinder head.
- Unscrew the collet nut.
- Insert the desired accessory into the collet. Ensure the accessory shaft matches the collet diameter (3.2mm or 2.3mm).
- Tighten the collet nut securely while still holding the spindle lock button.
- Flexible Shaft Installation:
- Unscrew the collet nut and remove the collet from the main grinder unit.
- Screw the flexible shaft coupling onto the grinder's threaded shaft.

- Safety Guard and Cutting Guide: Attach the safety guard and cutting guide as needed for specific applications, ensuring they are firmly secured before operation.
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Locate the power switch on the grinder. Move it to the "ON" position to start the tool and "OFF" to stop it.
- Variable Speed Control: The grinder features a variable speed controller with an LCD display. Rotate the speed dial to adjust the RPM from 10,000 to 35,000 rpm. Start with a lower speed for delicate work and gradually increase as needed for harder materials or faster material removal. The LCD display will show the current speed setting.
- Using the Hang Hook: For extended use or when working with the flexible shaft, utilize the integrated hang hook to suspend the grinder, reducing fatigue and providing better maneuverability for the handpiece.
- Application Tips:
- Apply light, consistent pressure. Let the tool do the work.
- Keep the tool moving to prevent overheating the workpiece or the accessory.
- Always test on a scrap piece of material before working on your main project.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your mini grinder.
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the grinder from the power source and clean any dust or debris from the ventilation openings using a soft brush or compressed air. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Carbon Brushes: The grinder is equipped with carbon brushes. Periodically check the carbon brushes for wear. If they are worn down to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) or less, they should be replaced. Refer to a qualified service technician for carbon brush replacement if you are unsure.
- Storage: Store the grinder and its accessories in the BMC carrying case in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
