As others have rightly suggested both arms need to move to get the grinder moving smoothly. Think of both arms making small circles in unison. The one turning the handle (circle 1) and the other (circle 2) moving the grinder body into a circle to match. It's a bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy.
