intended function.
6. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and
any other condition that may affect a tool's operation.
7. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use the parts list to order repair parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
1. Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
2. Disconnect tool from power when changing accessories such as buffing wheels and the like.
3. Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in.
4. Do not force 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 a tool running unat- tended. Turn the power off and do not leave tool until it comes to a com- plete stop.
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
8. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped over.
General Safety Information (Continued)
9. Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, application and specific limitations.
10. Use recommended accessories. Understand and obey all safety instructions supplied with
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
11. Do not over tighten wheel nut. Use only flanges supplied with the buffer.
12. Handle the workpiece correctly.
Assembly
Refer to Figures 3 and 4.
Buffer comes completely assembled with hex nuts, wheel flanges and spacers (Ref. Nos. 1, 2, 3 and
11) packed sepa- rately. One spiral sewn wheel and one soft wheel are included.
IMPORTANT:
Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing. Use this manual to order repair parts.
INSTALL BUFFING WHEELS
To install buffing wheels on the buffer:
1. Remove plastic protective sleeves from armature shaft.
2. Slide spacer (Ref. No. 3) onto arma- ture shaft.
3. Slide inner wheel flange (Ref. No. 2) onto armature shaft.
4. Slide in buffing wheel on to the armature shaft and butt it against the inner wheel flange.
5. Slide in the outer wheel flange and butt the flat side of the flange against the buffing wheel.
6. Tighten hex nut (Ref. No. 1) on to 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.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to install buffing wheel on the other side of the buffer.
Installation
MOUNT BUFFER
1. Mount buffer to a solid horizontal sur- face (hardware not provided). If mounted to metal pedestal,
align mounting holes with corresponding holes in pedestal. Insert a 1/4-20 x 14" hex head bolt with
flat washer through base of buffer. From bottom of pedestal, place a 1/4" flat washer and 1/4"-
20 hex nut onto the bolt. Tighten only until space between buffer base and pedestal is 1/8". Using
second nut on each bolt, jam tighten against the first to prevent loosening by vibration.
2. To mount buffer to wooden bench top, use 1/4 x 14" wood screws with flat washers beneath heads.
Tighten screws until space between buffer base and bench top is 1/8".
