5.0 Setup and assembly
5.1 Unpacking
Separate all parts from the packing material. Check
each part against
sect. 5.2, Carton contents, and
make certain that all items are accounted for before
discarding any packing material. (Check buffer to
verify if any parts have been pre-mounted.)
5.2 Carton contents
1 Buffing machine
2 Buffing wheels (IBG-8SSB only)
4 Flanges
1 Spacer kit (contains 3 spacers for IBG-8SSB
and IBG-10SSB; 4 spacers for IBG-12SSB)
2 Arbor nuts (1 left-hand, 1 right-hand)
1 Operating instructions & parts manual
1 Product
registration card
5.3 Tools required for assembly
Adjustable wrenches, or tongue-and-groove
(“channel lock”) pliers
The Buffer requires only the installing of buffing
wheels and spacers. Additional fasteners and tools
may be needed for mounting the buffer to a
workbench or stand. For your safety, do not plug the
machine into a power source until all assembly and
adjustments are complete.
Do not plug in the buffer to
power until it is inspected for shipping damage,
fully assembled, and moved to its permanent
location.
5.4 Securing the buffer
To prevent the machine from moving during
operation, it should be securely mounted to a work
surface or stand. Fasteners for mounting are not
included with the buffer.
1. Align mounting holes on buffer with predrilled
holes in a bench or stand. Sect. 4.1 shows hole
centers for mounting.
2. Insert M10 (or 3/8”) bolts through the holes and
tighten, using washers and nuts.
An optional pedestal stand (not included) is
available from JET for your buffer. See
sect. 10.0.
IMPORTANT: The buffer’s base plate contains
ventilation slots for heat dissipation. These slots
should not be obstructed. The rubber feet should be
left on the machine when mounting, as they allow air
circulation as well as vibration dampening.
5.5 Buffing wheels
1. Disconnect buffer from power source.
2. Install spacers onto each end of arbor as
needed for the width of the wheels used.
3. Check the flanges to make sure they are clean
and flat. Wheel flanges that are not flat will
cause the wheel to wobble.
4. Install inner flange, buffing wheel, and outer
flange.
5. Install the right-hand thread nut on right end of
arbor; turn clockwise to tighten. Install the left-
hand thread nut on left end of arbor, turn
counterclockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten
the nuts. Place a wrench on the flats (next to the
housing) of the spindle to keep the spindle
stationary while tightening or loosening the
nuts.
Note: On the IBG-8SSB , the brass-colored nut
has left-hand threads; the silver-colored nut has
right-hand threads.
See sect. 8.0 for further information on inspecting
and changing wheels.
6.0 Electrical connections
Electrical connections should
be made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This tool must be
properly grounded. Failure to comply may result
in serious or fatal injury.
The IBG-8SSB and IBG-10SSB Buffers are
prewired for 115V single phase power, and are
supplied with a plug designed for use on a circuit
with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in A, Figure 6-1. These buffers may be
converted to 230V single phase power, see sect.
7.3.
The IBG-12SSB is prewired for 230V only and is
supplied with a plug designed for use on a circuit
with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in D, Figure 6-1.
