Unpacking
Separate all parts from the packing material. Check
each part against
sect. 7.2,
Carton contents,
and
make certain that all items are accounted for before
discarding any packing material. (Check grinder first
to verify if any parts have been pre-mounted.)

Tools required for assembly
24mm (or adjustable) wrench
The IBG-8VSB requires only the installing of buffing
wheels. 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.
6.4
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. Figure 4-1 shows
hole centers for mounting.
2. Insert M8 (or 5/16”) 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. 11.0.
IMPORTANT:
The buffer’s base plate contains
ventilation holes for keeping the circuit board at an
acceptable temperature. These holes should not be
obstructed. If the rubber pads are removed for
mounting to a table, allow an opening in the table
below the buffer for air circulation. However, it is
recommended the rubber pads be left on, as they
allow air circulation as well as vibration dampening.
6.5
Buffing wheels
1. Disconnect buffer from power source.
2. Install three spacers onto each end of arbor.
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 a nut on each end of arbor and tighten
with 15/16”, or adjustable, wrench. The brass-
colored nut has left-hand threads – install on
lef
t
end of arbor and tighten counterclockwise.
Install the other nut on right end of arbor and
tighten clockwise. Do not overtighten the nuts.
See sect. 9.0 for further information on inspecting
and changing wheels.

Electrical connections
Electrical connections should
be made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This tool must be
properly grounded.
The
IBG-8VSB
Buffer is prewired for 115V single
phase power, and is supplied with a plug designed
for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks
like the one pictured in A, Figure 7-1. The buffer may
be converted to 230V single phase power, see
sect.
7.3.
It is recommended that the buffer be connected to a
15-amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse. If using
fuses, they should be time-delay fuses marked “D”.
Local codes take precedence over recommen-
dations.

Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
