SET UP A BUFF MOTOR FOR USE
• Place the Buff Motor on a clean, level, dust and grit free surface. The rubber feet of the cast
iron Buff Motor Housing are designed to assist with stability during normal operation, however
it is strongly recommended if the Buff Motor is to be operated on a bench, it should be placed
securely to prevent any chance of it working its way to the edge and falling. Bolting in place or
the use of C-Clamps is strongly recommended.
• If mounting to an optional Buff Stand such as Eastwood #13162, the Stand MUST be securely
bolted to the floor and the Buff Motor securely bolted to the Stand.
• The Buff Motor must be operated with at least 3 ft of working room around in all directions.
• Keep power cord away from Buff Wheel. The unit is equipped with a 6’ [1.8 m] long, grounded,
power cord. If an extension cord is required, use 14 ga. or heavier. Do not exceed 25’.
• Buff Wheels will shed and deposit a great deal of fiber, excess buff compound and grit on floor
and wall areas in the plane of the rotating wheel. Locate in an easily cleaned area capable of
accepting debris.
BUFFING BASICS
Only work from the “Work Zone”
at the front lower portion of
the Wheel (Fig 2). Subjecting a
workpiece to a point above the
centerline of the Arbor Shaft (Fig
3) can quickly tear the item from
the operator’s hands and propel
the object at over 80 MPH with
great force.
