FEATURES
The Eastwood Elite TG2000 Cordless Tungsten
Grinder head features six machined slots:
- Two 1/16” slots; one angled at 10° and
one at 22.5° to direct the tungsten at
the preferred angle against the Diamond
Grinding Wheel (FIG 1).
- Two 3/32” slots; one angled at 10° and
one at 22.5° to direct the tungsten at
the preferred angle against the Diamond
Grinding Wheel (FIG 1).
- Two notches (1/16” & 3/32”) cut into
the top, outside edge of the Grinding
Head. These slots are designed to grip
the burned end of tungsten rods for
clean breakage (FIG 1).
OPERATION
• Plug the Wall Charger into a properly
grounded, 120VAC, 60Hz outlet and
plug the USB-C charging cord end into
the charging port at the rear of the
Cordless Tungsten Grinder (FIG 2).
• Allow the battery to charge to full capac-
ity as indicated by the three LED battery
charge indicators (FIG 3) being fully
