I explained to him what was going on and he instantly told me that the 15 amp grinder was not the problem however when I release the load there is a voltage spike and these champs have a safety device to protect any thing plugged in if there is a spike and shuts down genny. He said that big electric motors can cause this spike.
That is called "electrical fast transient".
toprudder, thanks - I never saw the mention of this problem on this site and it is only when I ran my 15 amp grinder and releasing the trigger. At leaast I know now what to do when running a large electric motor. The Tech (Adam) was great and very fast response time in helping me get to the answer in seconds. Again, the solution is to just unplug the BLACK wire from the shut off switch if the spike activates the shutdown.
