Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below during this entire section:
Before buffing make sure:
• The buffer is secured to the floor or work-
bench.
• All buffing wheels are securely mounted and
the arbor nuts are tight.
• No tools or wrenches are on the buffing shaft
or on top of the control box.
• Any safety curtains are in position.
• Inspect the workpiece for nails, loose knots,
large splinters, and any other condition that
may cause the buffing wheel to grab and proj-
ect the workpiece or object.
• Understand which direction the buffing wheels
turn.
To avoid serious personal injury, read and
become familiar with this entire instruction
manual before using the Model G0530.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from failure to wear safety
glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec-
tion while using this machine.
Loose hair and cloth-
ing could get caught in
machinery and cause
serious personal inju-
ry. Keep loose clothing
rolled up and long hair

Buffing operations on your Model G0530 will vary
depending on the type of material to be buffed,
the type of buffing wheel used, and the finished
result you need.
Basic buffing operations:
1.
Stand out of the way of the buffer, and turn
the buffer ON .
2. Adjust the RPM to your needs and let the
buffer achieve speed.
3.
Stand firmly, and hold the workpiece with two
hands or use a jig to hold the workpiece if too
small.
4.
DO NOT push a sharp edge or corner into
the buffing wheel, which could grab the
workpiece; instead slowly ease the workpiece
into the buffing wheel.
5. With smooth rotary motions and steady pres-
sure, move the workpiece against the buffing
wheel until the workpiece surface is buffed to
your satisfaction.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
If you must adjust the RPM during a
buffing operation, ALWAYS remove
the workpiece from the buffing surface
first. NEVER remove one hand from the
workpiece to adjust the RPM while holding
the workpiece against the buffing wheel
with the other hand. The buffing wheel can
grab and project the workpiece, causing
severe injury or death!
