• 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.

Setup

1. Power Connection: Ensure the grinder is switched off before plugging it into a standard 220-240V, 50/60Hz power outlet.
2. 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.
3. 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.
   • Insert the flexible shaft's inner core into the grinder's spindle.
   • Tighten the flexible shaft coupling securely.
   • Attach accessories to the flexible shaft's handpiece following the same procedure as for the main unit.
4. 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
