General

The

Model

10"

Buffer

is

strictly

designed

for

buffingoperations.

IT

IS

NOT

A

GRINDER.

The

absence

of

grinding

wheel

guards

prohibit

the

use

of

this

machine

as

a

grinder.

This

buffer

has

a

left

and right

shaft

to

provide

the

option

of

mounting two different buffing

wheels,

depending

on

your application.

The

convenience

of

having

two

shafts

allows

you

to

mount

different

textured buffing

wheels

onto

each

shaft.

TDS-250BG

Buffer

Buffing

Tips

Here

are

some

quick

tips

for

getting

the

most

out

of

your

buffer:

*

Thoroughly

dean

all

parts

that

you

are

plan-

ning

to

buff.

Any

kind

of

dirt,

oil,

rust,

paint

or

other

film

must

be removed

either chemically

or

sprayed

off

with

water.

Make

sureto

dry

off

pads

with

a

rag

after

cleaning.

Apply buffing

compounds

insmall

amounts

at

a

time. While the

machine

is

running,

press

the

compound

on

the

wheel

for

a

couple

of

seconds.

Avoid

using

too

much

compound.

. Put

your workpiece

under

the

wheel

when

you

are

loading

the

compound

on

the

buffing

wheel.

This

way,

you

will

catch

any

com-

pound

that would normally

be

wasted

on

the

floor.

Only

use

the

area

grayed-out

in

Figure

4

to

do the

actual

buffing.

Contacting

the

work-

piece

on

areasoutside

of

the

grayed

out

area

may flip the workpiece out

of

your

hands.

Keep

buffing

wheels

raked

out

before

each

use

and

when

buildup

gets

heavy

during

use.

"Raking"

means

to

clean

the buffing wheels

with

a

wheel

rake

to

remove buildup com-

poundsand metal particles.

An

old

rough-cut

saw

blade

or

a

large

hacksaw

blade

will also

work

as

an

alternative to

a

wheel

rake.

ALWAYS

use

light pressure

when

raking

wheels!

Do

not

mix

two

different

compounds

on

the

same

wheel.

For best results,

use

a

separate

wheel

for

each compound.

9

Use

an

upward stroke with

heavy

to

moder-

ate

pressure

for

cutting.

Use

a

downward

stroke

with

lightto pressurefor

polishing.

when

Wear

Also,

wear

protect your lungs

from

that

will

be

flying
