SAFETY RULES

WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the instructions and precautions before operating the tool.

CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual, even if you are familiar with this or similar tools. Remember that carelessness, even for a fraction of a second, can result in severe personal injury.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

1. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may get caught in moving parts of the machine.
2. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
4. Wear safety glasses.
5. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
6. Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated, or when taking medications that cause drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

1. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
2. Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools to rain.
3. The work area should be properly lighted.
4. A proper electrical receptacle should be available for the tool. The three-prong plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.
5. Extension cords should have a grounding prong, and the three wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
6. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
7. Keep children out of the workplace. Make the workshop childproof. Use padlocks, master switches, or remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

1. Always unplug the tool prior to inspection.
2. Consult the manual for specific maintaining and adjusting procedures.
3. Keep the tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
4. Remove adjusting tools. Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting tools are removed before switching the machine on.
5. Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their intended function.
6. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation.
7. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use the parts list provided to order replacement parts.)

KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL

1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
2. Disconnect the tool when changing buffing wheels.
3. Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the "off" position before plugging in.
4. Do not force the tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed.
5. Keep hands away from moving parts and buffing surfaces.
6. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
8. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the belt or disc are unintentionally contacted.
9. Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, application, and specific limitations.
10. Use recommended accessories. Use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons. Do not overtighten the wheel nut. Replace defective wheels immediately. Use only flanges supplied with the buffer.
11. Handle the work piece correctly.

CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the tool is being used.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the tool until it is completely assembled according to the instructions.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing. Use this manual to order replacement parts.

The buffer comes completely assembled with hex nuts and wheel flanges packed separately. One spiral sewn wheel and one soft wheel are included.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing. Use this manual to order replacement parts.

INSTALL BUFFING WHEELS

To install buffing wheels on the buffer:

1. Slide inner wheel flange (Part No. 2) onto the armature shaft.
2. Slide the buffing wheel onto the armature shaft and butt it against the inner wheel flange.
3. Slide the outer wheel flange and butt the flat side of the flange against the buffing wheel.
4. Tighten the hex nut onto the armature shaft. Make sure the buffing wheel is firmly held in place and the hex nut is snug against the outer wheel flange. Use additional spacers (not supplied) if required.
5. Install the buffing wheel on the other side of the buffer as mentioned above.

INSTALLATION

MOUNT BUFFER

The buffer must be mounted to a solid horizontal surface (hardware not provided).

To mount buffer to metal pedestal:

1. Align mounting holes with corresponding holes in the pedestal.
2. Insert a hex head bolt with a flat washer through the base of the buffer.
3. Place a flat washer and hex nut from the bottom of the pedestal onto the bolt.
4. Tighten until the base is flush with the pedestal.
5. Using a second nut on each bolt, jam tighten against the first to prevent loosening by vibration.

To mount buffer to wooden bench:

1. Use wood screws with flat washers beneath heads.
2. Tighten screws until the base is flush with the bench top.

POWER SOURCE

WARNING: Do not connect the buffer to the power source until all assembly steps have been completed.

The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more than 10% above or below the specified voltage. Running the unit on voltages that are not within range may cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified on the nameplate.

Power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

The buffer is equipped with a totally enclosed motor. The armature assembly is dynamically balanced for smooth operation. The motor housing is compact, allowing long pieces of work to press against both wheels without touching the motor frame.

WARNING: Always wear safety glasses before commencing power tool operation.

1. Load buffing compound, appropriate for your work piece, onto the wheel.
2. Carefully guide the work piece into the wheel.
3. Keep a steady, moderate pressure on the work piece and keep it moving at an even pace for smooth buffing.
4. Pressing too hard overheats the motor and prematurely wears down the buffing wheels.
5. The buffing wheel should rotate into the object being polished.

MAINTENANCE

1. Disconnect the unit from the power source before replacing buffing wheels or before performing any maintenance work.
2. The threads on the right side of the buffer (facing the unit) are right-hand threads; threads on the left side are left-hand threads. Hold the wheels firmly to loosen the hex nut.
3. Make sure hex nuts are tight and snug against the outer wheel flange prior to restarting the buffer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TO PREVENT INJURY TO YOURSELF or damage to the buffer, turn the switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the power cord from the electrical receptacle before making any adjustments.
