Brushless 18vlt paddle switch grinder will start up then cuts out then repeats when tried again but slower and no power? What would the cause be? Thanks
There could be several potential causes for the issue you're describing with your brushless 18Vlt paddle switch grinder.
- Overheating: If the grinder is running for an extended period of time, it can overheat and shut off as a safety measure. If this is the case, the grinder will need to cool down before it can be used again.
- Battery Issue: The grinder may be shutting off because the battery is not providing enough power. This can be caused by a damaged or worn out battery, or by a problem with the battery's connection to the grinder. Make sure the battery is fully charged, check and clean terminals, test battery with other tools, if there is no improvement consider getting new battery
- Power switch issue: The switch could have a problem and it's malfunctioning, preventing the grinder from operating properly. The switch may need to be replaced in order to fix the issue.
- Motor issue: A problem with the brushless motor itself, could cause it to shut off under load or malfunction. The motor may need to be inspected and repaired or replaced.
- Power supply: If the grinder is running off of AC power, rather than a battery, the power supply may be faulty or not providing enough power to the tool.
I suggest you to start with trying to identify the problem by eliminating each possibility one by one. If you are not comfortable troubleshooting and fixing the tool, it may be best to reach out to the manufacturer or take it to a professional repair shop.
