Operating principle

The operating principle and functions of each part depend on its intended purpose. For example, a rotor is a part of a motor and has a complicated design. It helps to convert electrical energy into mechanical. Bearings ensure the rotation of the shaft and other moving elements. The reduction gears convert a high angular velocity of the input shaft to a lower one increasing the torque of the motor. Carbon brushes transmit the electric tension to the motor commutator and brush holders ensure their attachment.

Tips on using grinder accessories

It is recommended to follow the usage recommendations if you want all the parts of the mechanisms to work properly for a long time. It is necessary to clean the tool thoroughly when work is done. It isn’t allowed to use sharp objects, solvents or any other aggressive chemicals to remove stains. It is also forbidden to wash the tool in running water. The most efficient way to remove dirt from the body is to use a soft cloth or a brush.

The reduction gears need occasional cleaning and lubricating. The maintenance frequency of the device depends on how often you use it. If it is used daily, you should maintain the equipment at least once a year.

You mustn’t use a grinder if there are any damages on the body or malfunction of an element. This might lead to the tool failure and there is also a risk of getting injured during works.

It is necessary to use the equipment properly if you want it to function efficiently for a long time. For example, you should press the whole working area to the target surface. At the same time, you shouldn’t apply too much pressure against the tool in order not to overload the electric motor.
