OPERATIONS MANUAL

POWER MAX II OPERATIONS MANUAL PAGE 2

Before You Begin

Read and follow all instructions carefully.

• After unpacking all components, assemble grinder on a firm level surface to prevent grinder from

tilting and rocking.

• Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the grinder. *Use only in a properly

grounded and tested outlet. Under no circumstances shoul you override the grounding system or modify plug.

• Always disconnect grinder from electrical outlet before setting up or servicing.

• Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose fitting clothes, neckties, jewelry and gloves that may get caught in moving parts.

• Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses they are not safety glasses.

• Never turn on grinder while glass or working materials are touching the bits or disks.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Never leave grinder running unattended. Turn power OFF when not in use.

• Do not operate while under the influence of medication or alcohol.

• To ensure top performance keep grinder properly maintained and lubricated.

Assembly Instructions

A. Bit Installation

1) Before installing the grinder bit, lubricate the top of the motor

shaft and inside the bit by applying a thin coating of anti-seize

lubricant.

2) Slide the bit onto the motor shaft, positioning the set screw over

the flat side of the motor shaft (Fig. 1). Position the bit on the

shaft so at least 1/8" of the diamond surface is exposed above

the Easy Glide ™ Work Surface.

Fig.1

POWER MAX II OPERATIONS MANUAL PAGE 3

3) Secure the bit to the shaft by turning the set screw clockwise

with the hex wrench (Fig. 2).

Fig.2

IMPORTANT: Always secure the bit to the flat side of the motor

shaft. Tightening the bit to the rounded side can scar the shaft

and prevent bit removal!

B. Sponge Installation

The technologically advanced Super Sponge

can absorb over

10 times its weight in water. Its superior wicking ability insures a sufficient water supply to protect the bit and keep the glass cool.

Fig.3

1) Wet the Super Sponge ™ by immersing it in water until soft

and pliable.

2) Fill the water reservoir (Fig.3) about 3/4 of the way to the top.

You may add special grinding lubricant if desired.

3) The Power Max II comes with two work surface adaptors

designed to allow the use of a 1” and 3/4” bit (Fig.4). After the

surface grid has been installed, place the grid surface adaptor

into the grid (Fig.5). Be sure to use the adaptor that matches

the bit you are using.

4) Insert the sponge between the sponge holder on the work

surface and grinder bit so that the bottom of the sponge is in

contact with the coolant/water in the reservoir and the side

of the sponge is in contact with the diamond surface of the bit

(sponge may be trimmed to ensure proper fit).

5) The wet sponge should remain in contact with the bit while

grinding (Fig.6). Periodically rinse out the sponge to remove

grinding residue. When the sponge becomes worn, replace it.

6) Should the sponge become dry during periods of non use,

simply immerse in water and reinstall.

DELUXE MODELS ONLY

1) Use the Universal Face Shield ™ by simply removing

the paper covering from the shield (Fig.7), put it on the frame,

then slide the base of the frame underneath the grinder body

(Fig.8).

2) Deluxe models also come with an Easy-On ™ Foot Switch. To

use, plug grinder directly into the foot switch, then plug foot

switch into any outlet. Turn grinder switch to the ON position.

To start grinder, depress foot switch and hold until you want

the grinder to stop Release pedal to stop grinder.

3) The 3/4" bit is useful in grinding smaller inside curves.

Grinder Use and Maintenance

A. Bit Use

Remember to wear safety glasses or install a protective face shield when grinding.

1) If you are a first time user, get the feel of the grinder by turning

on the grinder and grinding a piece of scrap glass. Begin by

pushing the glass into the grinding bit using light pressure

and moving the glass back and forth across the bit (Fig.9).

2) Slowly increase the pressure until you feel comfortable with

the grinding speed and your control. You’ll quickly learn the

optimum grinding pressure for the types of glass you use.

3) Stop periodically and check the sponge placement and water

Grinding without water greatly reduces the life of

your grinding bits.

4) Over time, a bit may grind less effectively causing your glass

to chip. This is a result of wearing to the bit’s diamond

surface. When this happens, it is time to expose a new portion

of the diamond surface. Loosen the set screw using the hex

wrench and move the grinding bit up on the shaft to expose a

new 1/8" section of diamond.

5) Secure the bit back in place making sure to tighten it against

the flat side of the motor shaft. Reposition the sponge if needed.

6) The 1/4" grinder bit is useful for both drilling holes and intricate

grinding. To set up the 1/4" bit, simple place the 1/4" bit

directly into the top of the shaft making sure the hex screw

lines up with the flat side. The step-up work surface accessory

will fit on top of the base grid surface and provide a sponge

holder and platform to use your 1/4” cap bit more efficiently.

B. Care Information

1) NEVER GRIND DRY. Always make sure the sponge for the

grinder bit is wet while grinding.

2) While using the grinder bit, use only light to medium pressure

on the bit. Do not push material against bit using excessive

force. Unnecessary pressure will shorten grinder motor and

grinder bit life.

3) Clean water reservoir and Super Sponge ™ after each use.

Remove work surface and flush out grinding residue

around the sides of the base. When cleaning or using large

volumes of water during grinding, remove the rubber stopper

(Fig. 10) from the grinder box and allow water to flush through

the drain (Fig. 11).

4) To extend the life of the grinder, clean and lubricate the motor

shaft with anti-seize, inside openings of all bits and all set

screws after 25 hours of use.

5) Grinder bits should be removed from the machine if they

are not in use for a week or more. This will keep them

from “cementing” to the shaft. It will also provide you with the

opportunity (and habit) of inspecting the motor shaft and bits

for proper care and maintenance.

6) DO NOT GRIND METAL. Doing so will destroy the bit and

make it unsuitable for grinding glass.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Grinder bit has become stuck onto the motor shaft.

Solution 1: Loosen set screws and push the bit as far down the shaft as possible. Most often the shaft above where the bit was mounted crusts with glass debris, coolant, hard water residue, etc. Using a small piece of fine steel wool or scouring pad, polish the end of the shaft all the way down to where the bit rests.

Solution 2: If you can push the bit down as above, but you notice that there is a burr or scar on the round side of the motor shaft caused by the set screw in the wrong position (it appears as a small ring cut into the shaft), you will need to polish it out. This can often be done by using the same steel wool mentioned above, but occasionally it requires stronger abrasives. Be very careful here! You only want to remove the scar, you do not want to make the shaft smaller. It may be necessary to use very fine grit emery cloth or sandpaper here. But again, be very careful, the motor shaft can be easily damaged. Once the scar is polished out, remove the bit. Clean both the bit and shaft and use anti-seize lubricant. Never tighten the bit to the round side of the motor shaft.

Solution 3: If the bit is still stuck, try applying a penetrating lubricant (available at an auto parts store) to the bit to dissolve the glass slurry which is seizing the bit. If further assistance is necessary, call Diamond Tech toll free at (800) 937-9593 for tech support or to obtain a Return Authorization Number and instructions on returning the machine for repair.
