A coil is just that a coil and unless it has diodes it doesnt matter how you put it on. let me know (diodes are those things that are usually black with a silver stripe -cylindrical in shape)

You can email Oregon a request a manual, here is their email [email protected]

The top guard should be set at 6mm and the bottom guard should be 2-3mm from the grinding wheel.hope this helps,

bad clutch http://www.ereplacementparts.com/metabo-ge700-06303420-710w-die-grinder-parts-c-8879_9109_9275.html?osCsid=4difnk3q6s7mlf4stf0vjo6p74 # 10 part

could be a couple problems, either the clutch or the carrier is bad. I suggest going to "ereplacementparts.com" and you can download a parts breakdown and also order parts from their site. It shows the clutch and also the carrier I was talking about. Let me know if you need more assistance.

Needs new brushes. http://www.metabo.com/Spare-parts-lists-handheld.16913.0.html

When the brushes wear down they are held back by there power wires.There should be a set of small holes in the brush holders.Push new brushes to the bottom and put a wire through the small holes to hold brushes in place during reassembly.Pull out the wires and the new brushes will seat. Brushes don't cost all that much.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
Inside your grinder either the stationary switch or the rotating assembly that actuates the stationary switch has failed.

Download this pdf file:
http://www.baldor.com/pdf/literature/CA506_0806_WEB.pdf Then go to page 9

The rotating assembly is this part number: (most common failure)
34RS2060SP

You must remove the end plate / cap to change this part.

The statonary switch rarely fails unless the rotating assembly damaged the contacts when the rotating assemble failed. When the rotating assembly fails you often find a spring and flyweight loose inside the grinder during disassembly. Should your stationary switch have failed try and get a number off of it so you can get the right switch. Otherwise you have to use NEMA code / Body type numbers.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

hceck the belt driver ,it mite be broken

I had the same problem, I went to a pawn shop, some times they have part for some of the items they buy . I wish you luck in finding one. it took me some time. hope you find one

It could be your brushes or try cleaning off the armature. I hope that works for you.

I`m not quite sure of what you mean but if the brushes were not seated right it mite slow it down or you mite have a stretched drive belt. I hope this does trick.

Not really, they are very good quality, you could have got a end roll, or your sander is not alined right. or your putting to much pressure on it. You could try a finer grit for the job your doing. I sure hope this works for you.

well, with out seeing it I `d say you had a shot in the cord or switch. I hope this will help

the drive belt is most likely broke, you can check with the store you got it from ,if they dont have they mite know where you can get one . I hope this helps you .

I think there was But if you go to a tool store I think they will know, I hope this helps.

when i turn on switch it just humms. 1/2 hp older model

this is a "Split-Phase"motor it uses only a run capacitor and a typical capacitance rated MFD rating will be between 80 and 290 MFD, go to www. grainger..com and they will have your part,and even if its an older unit and the model/serial/number is available take it with you & they will have a replacement capacitor available in the correct size/dimension/mfd/etc

first mark the caps so that when you reassemble they will align properly, Next get a small screwdriver and GENTLY pry the cap apart. One end probably has a rotating switch with wires coming from it so be careful. When reassembling you can use a small piece of wood to tap the end bells back into place.

does it run freely?as in not seem to be lugging from bad bearings in the motor shaft,then check the speed control board for a shorted triac/scr transistor

as for slowing it down, no problem. Hook it to a cord with a dimmer switch connected to it. Make sure your running with the same power rating though. As for a dripper, no ideas just yet.
