by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another
tool.
•
Never leave tool
running unattended.
•
Examine buffer wheels for damage before operating, and replace if any damage is found.
•
Do not over-tighten wheel nuts.
•
Use only wheel flanges furnished with bench top buffer. Use of other flanges may cause
damage or breakage to the wheel and result in injury to the operator.
•
Do not force work against the buffer wheel. Excessive pressure may cause damage or
breakage of the buffer wheel, resulting in injury to the operator or bystanders.
•
Always use guards and eye shields.
•
Adjust distance between wheel and work rest to maintain 1/16in. or less separation as the
diameter of the wheel decreases with use.
•
Use buffer wheel suitable for speed of bench top buffer.
•
Do not operate bench top buffer when flammable fumes are present. Sparks from the buffer
wheel or motor brush could ignite fumes.
ASSEMBLY
Mounting holes
For extra stability, we recommend securing the bench grinder using the mounting holes provided on
the corners of the base. Secure to a bench or table by using bolts (not supplied).
Removing/Installing Buffer Wheels
Disconnect the bench top buffer from the power supply.
Note:
Visually inspect wheels for damage or defects prior to fitting.
You will need to use a shifting spanner or socket wrench to loosen the wheel lock nut. If you are
removing the left wheel nut you will need to rotate the nut clockwise. If you are removing the right
wheel nut you will need to rotate the nut anti-clockwise. Use one hand to lock the wheel in place
and the other to loosen the nut. Remove the nut, outer flange and old wheel.
Fit the outer flange and nut back to the spindle. Use one hand to lock the wheel in place and the
other to tighten the nut.
Note:
If you are tightening the left wheel nut, tighten counterclockwise until the right wheel
begins to turn. If you are tightening the right wheel nut, tighten clockwise until the left wheel
begins to turn.
Ensure the new wheel is secured and rotates freely before proceeding.
Switch on the bench top buffer and ensure that the wheels are running in alignment before
commencing use.
