  Welder generator burning up tool switches

I bought a used portable Miller welder generator with a 2 cylinder Onan engine.

It has two settings and outlets for 110VAC. When at an idle it produces 110 but not a lot amps. The other outlet requires flipping a toggle swith to "power while welding" which revs up the engine and produces a lot of power.

I went to use my 6" bench grinder. The grinder was spinning fairly slow at engine idle and slowed even more when I reid to gring=d a small bolt, so I kicked the gen. up to more power---all of a sudden I heard a high pitched "screaming" sound inside the grinder switch and the grinder would not spin---then the switch started smoking. And now it won't run at all.

This high-pitched screaming sound also happens while welding---comes from the actual arc being made.

So I tried a belt/disc sander. Same thing--noise, smoke not working any more.

Note that my other tools like a 9" angle grinder, 1/2" drill, 4" angle grinder and sawz-all all work fine.

Could it be the type of motors (brushless?)? Both the bench grinder and the sander are made by Crapsman...I mean, Craftsman.

Anyone have any ideas--other than a "loose nut" (or as Kenny says a "lose nut"Wink yeah right behind the switches?

(In case anyone cares or remembers, I had a 5000 watt welder generator that stopped working. Would have cost more to fix it than replace it with new. I put it on Detroit-area Craigslist for $200 and a guy in Mexico found it on-line. He sent his brother who was here to buy it and ship it to him.)

Kenny this duplicate didn't get here from me---I noticed there were a lot of ghost duplicates the last few days. This be one.
