PEDESTAL MOUNT
1. Align the mounting holes in the buffer with the pedestal holes.
2. Drop a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4 in. bolt into each mounting hole.
3. Slide a 1/4 in. washer onto one bolt from beneath the pedestal plate.
4. Place a 1/4-20 in. hex nut on the same bolt and tighten until there is only
1/8 in. space between the buffer base and the pedestal plate.
5. Repeat for the other three bolts.
6. Add another hex nut to each bolt and tighten to prevent them from
loosening due to vibration.
BENCH MOUNT
1. Position the buffer on the bench and mark each hole of the base on the bench.
2. Predrill a hole for each wood screw if necessary.
3. Place a flat washer over a 1/4 x 1-1/4 in. wood screw.
4. Insert a wood screw and washer through the holes in the base.
5. Tighten the screws until the space between the buffer and bench is 1/8 in.
OPERATION
The motor is designed for operation within 10 percent above or below the
voltage specified on the nameplate. Running the unit on voltages outside that
range may cause the motor to overheat and burn out. Heavy loads require a
voltage at the motor terminals equal to the voltage specified on the nameplate.
1. Start the buffer and observe for 30 seconds without load to see that the
buffing wheels are balanced and the buffer is functioning properly.
2. Apply the workpiece against the buffing wheel and maintain a steady
pressure while keeping the piece in motion for smooth buffing.
a. Do not buff using the side of the wheel. Only use the narrow wheel face.
3. If the workpiece begins to overheat, reduce pressure during buffing. This
will reduce wear on the buffing wheel material.
4. Position the workpiece so the wheel rotates into it during buffing.
